That would mean references to Garth of Izar. And that wasn't going to happen.
I'd promote that comment but...well, yeah.
You all are making me want to watch Voyager to see what you're talking about. Stop that! 
^^It's really not as bad as its reputation makes it sound.
I watched up to Threshold. And that was just... yeah. I couldn't go any further. 
If I try again, I'll skip that one.

I don't like to bunch unrelated replies in the same post. If someone says, "I like mustard" and I say "I like mayo", that doesn't belong in the same post as me replying to an unrelated comment about Quark's business franchises.
But I know the mods disagree, so I make sure not to have two posts in a row (as I was once instructed to do.)
Its got some highs and lows.
The Klingon music was translated by Marc Okrand into Klingon.

It is. It's horrible. At least it's no longer the worst Trek series ever. That honor goes to "Picard."
My favorite part of the episode was the Mariner/Tendi adventure. It remains annoying to me that the two of them share the same fast talking, frenetic personality traits, but I can get past that.
Loved that LD is apparently using elements of the Ent iteration of the Orion’s wherein the erstwhile “slave girls” are actually the ones in charge. I think it would have been funny if they’d simply referred to Mariner’s make~up job as “green face” and riffed off that with a 24th century version of a 21st century racial problem. But the writers were probably scared, or whatever, to go there.
This show needs to take more chances. It is entirely too tame.
I did a rewatch of LD recently along with Harley Quinn. Biggest difference between the two shows; HQ has WAY better comedic actors. The HQ actors were able to find the funny even when the jokes weren’t that great, on paper. LD actors just give us what’s on the page, and if what’s written isn’t funny, that is the way it will come across in the episodes.
But, I do basically like Mariner, especially when paired with Capt. Freeman, so there’s that.

You were just fishing for a Like from me, weren't you?
Don't they all?
“We” the audience, yes. But, that’s not the point I was trying to make, in this case.
We never see less important characters, those like our band of heroes here, find out how someone has come back from the dead. They’re just alive again, and working as normal, basically.
This was the first time Trek has shown us that from the perspective of the less important characters, and I thought that was great
This is your call!You are a terrible person.
Hmm... I haven't written fanfic in ages, but that is tempting...
Anyone else kind of digging on Jennifer the Andorian ensign? First, she's cute but secondly, I like how she's so far shown not to be tolerant of our Lower Decks crew. I'm guessing she would be like a normal crewmember on any of the live-action shows suddenly transported to this crazy world...like Oliver Wendell Douglas on Green Acres. Hope we see more of her as the season goes on!
