Spoilers Lower Decks Ep set at DS9
- Thread starter Photon
- Start date
It was very good, very reverential. I actually wish they would have done more satire about the show. The back and forth between Shaxs and Kira was great.
I watched it a second time, this time with an eye on focusing on the extraordinary detail. Every line was just perfect. I really felt like I was back on the station.
Spoiler!
Actually, I was spoiled a couple hours ago by TrekCulture on Youtube.
I have to watch some TV at my wife's speed.
I married a Turtle.

A ninja Turtle?
I would say Bajor hasn't joined the Federation. Otherwise, the militia would've been incorporated into Starfleet and the writers of the show are usually very good with details like that.
It's not definitive, but I would say "Hear All, Say Nothing" strongly implies that the Bajoran Republic has not yet joined the Federation as of early 2381 (which the writers have apparently said "Hear All, Say Nothing" is set in).
Except Paris explicitly referred to the Federation Naval Patrol, not the United Earth Naval Patrol. Although, why an interstellar republic would have a military service dealing with oceanographic warfare instead of leaving that to its Member States is... unclear.
But, yeah, it is possible that the Bajoran Militia might continue to exist and not be completely enfolded into Starfleet once the Bajoran Republic becomes a Federation Member State. It does raise the question of why Starfleet would continue to administer Deep Space 9 as a joint Federation Starfleet/Bajoran Militia starbase instead of folding the starbase into Starfleet entirely and having the Militia handle Bajor-based affairs though. It's not like Starbase 1 is administered as a joint Federation Starfleet/United Earth Defense Force starbase, or like there's ever been any indication of a join Federation Starfleet/Andorian Imperial Guard starbase in the Andor system.
Or, for that matter, it's not like Naval Station Norfolk is administered by the U.S. Navy and the Virginia Defense Force.
No.I'm going to have to watch this one aren't I ?
Well, strictly speaking that's true, but I have been waiting to see DS9 again for a very long time.

It was fun. You'll like it. I felt like I got to visit old friends I hadn't seen in twenty years.
Then it sounds like you will watch it.Well, strictly speaking that's true, but I have been waiting to see DS9 again for a very long time.
Why would DS9 need to be administered by Starfleet at all? Without a Cardassian or Dominion threats, the station is just another tollbooth whose administration can be devolved to whatever local authorities exist. We aren't presuming that every space station must be run by the central government of the Federation, are we?
Lower Decks was the one corner of NuTrek I derived a smidgen of enjoyment from, but after watching the season 3 premiere it was evident even that puddle had dried up, so I checked out.
I saw there had been a the DS9 episode; DS9 is my favorite Trek and up till now remained unsullied by the current regime. I know LD is a joke / parody series but still, I was a bit tentative to see new DS9 content.
I lasted up to where Nerys greeted the Cerritos crew. It felt icky.
