Lower Decks Crossover Episode

Woody Allen wrote both Bananas and Shadows and Fog. A talented screenwriter can do both slapstick comedy and atmospheric drama.

 

Yeah, anyone that thinks professionals in uniform act like professionals (or even grown ups) all the time clearly hasn't spent any time around the military. I've known Captains with fewer braincells than a fencepost, YOs that couldn't find their elbows with both hands, a Colonel that spent all day measuring their office furniture to make sure their desk and floorspace was bigger than anyone with a lower rank, a Lt Col with a weird grass obsession (don't ask), a Provosts that I'm pretty sure hadn't gone to work sober a day in his life, and so very many privates that clearly dropped out of school at the finger painting stage, with all the inane shenanigans that entails.

 

Heck, as I said before we have confirmation the characters won't act identical to how they do on LDS.

 

Now, now...let's not be confusing people with facts...

 

No, of course the writer could shift gears. I was just pointing out the false premise of the question that referenced the SNW writers.

 

I don’t think anyone is ignoring facts here. I stated my opinion and others responded to it with their opinions.

 

I stand corrected as I was not aware of the writers changing sides...bastard. They know what they did...

Twas a joke, Doc. No offense intended.

 

Who's writing it?

 

Kathryn Lynn.

 

I assume the would be (per Wikipedia) Episode 5 which is listed as being written by Lyn and SNW co-showrunner Henry Alonso Meyers.

 

I'm guessing she's writing the Lower Decks parts and Henry wrote the SNW parts.

 

For some reason, that's really making me laugh.

 

Okay, I have to ask. What was the 'weird grass obsession'?

 

Yeah. Sounds like something in Doom Patrol.

 

I simultaneously cannot believe that time has passed so swiftly that we're four episodes into season two but so darned interminably slowly that we haven't had the cross over episode yet. I'm glad I'm not a TOS era AI, this would have melted my circuits.

 

Is it weird that I'm looking as much forward to next week's episode of The Ready Room, and its preview clip from the crossover episode, as I am for next week's episode itself?

 

Yes.

 

No, not at all. I can't wait for the crossover.

 

Will we actually have a Ready Room next week? With the SAG strike, you can’t really have the actors promote stuff any more. It may have been pre-recorded, of course, but I’m unclear if even that is allowed to be shown.

 

The Ready Room is no less able to be aired than Strange New Worlds, itself.
