Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 2x02 - "Kayshon, His Eyes Open"

[NCC-73515]

^^^
Interesting observation and I'm surprised it's one I didn't consider, (IE that they were combining aspects from both of the episodes involving transporter duplication); because yeah the transporter clan was definitely more assertive / gung-ho and seemed less detail oriented / neurotic than the original Boimler.

It's a bit like the two Kirks, but those had to be reunited or they had died. Perhaps Cerritos Boimler will be even more unsure and scared than ever before, while Titan Boimler is all confident and full of ego. Then Tendi realizes how different their Boims is and forces the two to merge again, but Titan Boims goes all Tuvix and refuses to give up his existence. That would be interesting!

I know Lower Decks is a show about Star Trek nerds working on a Star Trek ship and everything's a reference, but come on what are the chances this dead collector guy exclusively collected obscure Star Trek episode and movie stuff?

People don't collect historical items?

Maybe he just collects 23rd century relics.

Lots of 24th century stuff. Mostly Enterprise-D related.

The transporter console showed the reflected beam already before Boimler 2 materialized

I think it's interesting that no one is talking about the Pakled situation. Especially their mysterious benefactors.

It's Badgey. His AI infected their ships in last season's finale, and he has the intelligence to direct them to procure the Varuvian ore and begin their terroristic attacks.

My bet is on Peanut Hamper.

Or should I say EMPRESS Peanut Hamper.

She'll return, undoubtedly, a la Lore (scavenged by Pakleds). But she was a coward, not a traitor, so I don't think she's directly behind these things. My guess is she's a hostage, or perhaps working with Badgey but will betray him.

Alternatively, she's going to be Badgey's vessel back onto the Cerritos when the time comes.

I don't remember the Fornication Helmet of Kaylesh in any episode.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I don't remember the Fornication Helmet of Kaylesh in any episode.

They edited that part out of The Savage Curtain.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I don't remember the Fornication Helmet of Kaylesh in any episode.

Although, it certainly sounds like something Gene Roddenberry would have come up with.

And sold in 1969 through a reputable company that he himself "operated."

Last week was a 7, this week a 9. Way more of the kind of fun I want from this show.

 

[XCV330]

Solid 8, i thought. maybe a 9. Still the best of the new Trek shows. I actually did think the serialized comment was a fun tongue in cheek dig at DSC or PIC.

I thought the idea of Collectors as a pursuit, was kind of interesting. In a future where anything can be replicated and economics are very different, the value put into original items with identifiable provenance might be even more valued than they are now (and the collector's collection reminded me of the IT'S A WRAP auction a couple of decades ago. )

Google NFTs... this is already a thing and sadly, it's coming for Trek memorabilia.

 

[Charles Phipps]

I want my Geordi Bear and Kayshon Puppet merch.

 

[KimMH]

Really liked this episode but a little disappointed we didn’t see hear more from Kayshon. Their language is basically memes; widely recognized events distilled down into sound bites/captioned photos. Gave it a 9 because fun! Also Boims is back; I didn’t expect to miss him!

Please, man. It's really pronounced Kahless. IDK where the Disco folks got the "sh" from. Probably their appliance teeth making problems for the T'Kuvma actor or something.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I thought it was from Okrand's work on the language. "Tyler" pronounced it that way too.

The Taliban want a word, among others.

Interesting how you use an extreme example as a means of brushing off a reasonable premise in my statement. Not cool, since you think being modest in public, in reference to the nudity debate, is seen as retrograde in YOUR opinion.
