We all know God's a DISCO fan and you violated the 11th Commandment.I plead the fifth, as those answers may serve to incriminate me.
Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x07 - "Much Ado About Boimler"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
He never behaved in an evil fashion. It was just happenstance that he had sinister sounding voice mannerisms and a malevolent sounding laugh. You just assumed he was evil because of your own prejudices against those two things.
And I'm still confused as to how the lumpy head was able to propel itself around.
If I could give it a 6.5 in the poll I would have. That's 3 episodes with a slight uptick in quality for me. While the series in no way replaces the live-action shows, I'm at least not minding the Trek infused diversion these LDS episodes give.
The backgrounds, designs and "easter eggs" are still a high point of the series. I thought the Edoan captain was funny and well designed. Did this episode just make Threshold relevant again!?
I still have problems with the characters, but I'm resigned to them being caricatures at this point. Does Mariner continually have to be reinforced as actively anti-promotion? I wish they could make this point without undermining the senior staff. Anyway, I'm not taking it that seriously.
3 weeks till Discovery, and the main course!
RAMA

Let's leave the Kelvin Universe as it's own thing.
The Prime Universe doesn't seem to have this issue.
Since the dog could talk - the creation of sentient beings from scratch seems to be just a literal pet project and pretty common...?
Boim-Boim would've been in space much longer though, he might not have been rescued immediately
Kelvin Kirk was 25, about seven or more years removed from secondary school (probably).
In our timeline (and the Prime/Kelvin version), we had Colonel George Washington at age 21, Major General Marquis de Lafayette at age 19, Brigadier General Galusha Pennypacker at age 20, and a slew of others all within the last 300 years. So who can predict what happens in the next 300 years? Perhaps the days of requiring "time-in-grade" will be a bygone practice.
Either way, people should relax a bit. It is entertainment.
To be fair, Kirk-K was a 25 year old lieutenant and First officer when he assumed command and then promotion. Picard-P was a 28 year old (lieutenant?) and a helmsman when he assumed command and then promotion.
Not to mention Starfleet had a bunch of kids running around Dominion space in “Valiant”. The couple of senior officers they had were killed, but the Starfleet doesn’t have some kind of recall order programmed in, in case of some kind of emergency?
And why would you give cadets one of the warships you need to, you know, fight the actual war you’re losing?
Star Trek is chalk full of military silliness.
They had the sets and model already built.
"You should really just relax..." says the song before I interject about the functioning silo onboard the Satellite of Love (Episode 1012) and the air recyclers it undoubtedly had.
Those two things are common things in fiction when it comes to portraying someone as "evil." Also him flying into a rage and smashing his desk when Brad told him about the planned mutiny is a pretty ominous thing.
Or he has anger control issues.
We've evolved past anger.
Now, we skip straight to revenge planning.
Now, we skip straight to revenge planning.
He's just an Edosian, since the only other Edosian we've ever seen (if I'm not mistaken) was that Ensign from TAS, how are we to know that his character and mannerism (the evil laugh, the sinister behaviour and gestures) aren't perfectly normal behaviour for the average Edosian?
Refresh my memory: How did that Edosian from TAS act?
Like he was James Doohan.
