Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x06 - "Terminal Provocations"

[fireproof78]

I see no reason to treat the USS KELVIN as a non-Prime Timeline ship. I think it transitions rather nicely from ENT to KELVIN to DISCO.

This is the part of the thread where I continue my stupid joke campaign and everyone and their mother boos me and sends me angry PMs, because apparently "correctly" voting in polls is a big deal around here.

Plus, Pegg has never convinced me of his logic. Why would the timeline change both ways just because Nero went back to 2233?

IIRC, it had to do with people from after 2233 travelling into the past and triggering subtle changes that eventually manifest into a different 2233.

I love that the background characters start to have more prominence! fletcher and jeniffer in the episode 2

Jennifer was just an adlib by Tawny last week, but I have a feeling that she's going to be the next Miles O'Brien and a major character by 2030 in an LD spinoff.

But if the timeline had already changed prior to 2233, then the whole premise of the movie is pointless. The reason why the Kelvin timeline exists was so that the scriptwriters didn’t have to worry about continuity with the prime universe. But if the ‘prime’ universe no longer exists or was replaced by something else, then there was no reason to create the alternate universe in the first place.

The intent was clearly that Spock Prime came from the same, unaltered universe of TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY.

Mind you, there's no real problem if Spock and company just wandered into an alternate universe.

I would love to see an episode entirely dedicated to the recurring background characters such as the Vulcan, the blonde woman, the Andorian engineer, etc.

Then Spock would not feel the need to withhold information about his universe.

Depends on how different things are.

That would be funny since that was the very point if this show.

Or The Lowest Decks

I want the Crewmen to show up in just one episode (let's call it "Below Decks") as some sort of rarely seen underclass that even our heroes treat with a little bit of contempt.

 

[NCC-73515]

Sounds like JG Hertzler! (Edit: It is!)
BADGEY!! So they do run Windows XD

 

[tomalak301]

I enjoyed that one more than last week. My first thought seeing Badgy was Microsoft office and the clip guy. This one was weird, but tons of fun. I loved Shax in this episode. I think that was a reference to TNG Worf.

I'll give this one an 8.

I noticed Jack McBryer was in this episode. What character did he play? Fletcher?

 

[Lord Garth]

"We have to solve this peacefully, damnit!" That's the line of the show.

 

[NCC-73515]

Another promotion that skips a rank

I did not expect this... XD

[KennyB]

Another pretty solid episode but my favorite was the hat tip to Lethal Weapon 2.........was not expecting that. #deepcut
