Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x09 - "Crisis Point"

I'm sure there is still meat on the menu in the sisko restaurant!

 

the fall of the saddam statue was one of the most viewed images of this generation!

 

And script changes were banned for a year, and that scene was drawn a year ago?

 

Yes, we've been seeing these people since the first episode.

Here's the thing, how/where/when did Mariner get in this planet and liberate these people BY HER FUCKING SELF?! This is the "Mariner Problem" where she's give too much power and capability for some one young, low ranking, and under a command structure. She hasn't the resources to poss off and liberate a whole damn planet all on her own.

 

I think it might've been one of the most viewed images of the last generation. [/we are so old]

 

If they want to match the lip flaps yes.

 

I'm pretty sure the show was in the can before the recent Armageddon occurred.

 

Tendi looked mighty fine in her sexy pirate outfit!!

 

The date for the end of (semi-organized?) piracy seems apt. If, immediately after the war, the Federation Alliance and its huge war arsenal decided to end the threat imposed by the Orion Syndicate on lawless regions, the Syndicate might not stand a chance.

 

The implication is there was a "Lawrence of Arabia" inspired episode we didn't get to see.

 

There were two of them in the first episode, IIRC

 

I saw Keith DeCandido's review of the episode. Like us, he loved it. He points out the Mariner fighting her holo-copy scene was probably a callback to Kirk's fight with the shapeshifter in TUC.

 

I'd say Dr. T'Ana is even more likely since she has to know the medical histories of the officers and the next of kin to inform in case of emergency/death.

 

THIS is the fucked up shit you'd use a holodeck for! Murder all your co-workers, try to kill your mother and end up being defeated by yourself? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

(Read about it on twitter or something, show it in England idk)

 

surely now the orion syndicate run "legitimate companies"

 

When did RIker say this? I honestly don't recall.

I remember Spock said this about Vulcans in TOS' "All Our Yesterdays", but only because he was shocked to notice he suddenly developed a taste for it when he went into the past through the Atavachron, but I dno't remember Riker mentioning about this of humans. It makes even less sense in light of the more recent episode of PIC where he put "bunnycorn sausage" on pizza. Clearly, humans (and betazoids) still eat meat.

 

Could be that the Dominion War so utterly devastated their trade networks that they had to pull a Michael Corleone and convert to "legitimate business dealings." The war pretty much left every major or secondary power in the Alpha Quadrant damaged to one degree or another.

 

More precisely, he said that humans no longer enslave animals for food. There are lots of examples of humans eating replicated meat. The one that comes to mind is the episode where Kurn comes onboard as an exchange officer, and they throw him a welcome meal with turkey that he slathers caviar onto, then talks about how the replicated bird was too bland for him as a Klingon.

 

Ah - enslaved animals - got it. I forgot about that distinction. And I guess the bunnycorn was technically not enslaved for eating, but hunted in the wild. Thank you for the clarification.
