Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x04 - "Among the Lotus Eaters"

[Trekker4747]

7 - entertaining episode that is in line with decades of typical Trek shows. I have to say, I was kind of annoyed that Ortegas was not taken on the away mission! cool to see Broadway vet Reed Birney in a guest roll.

She flys the ship!

It is clear to me now that the Trek Universe is a multiverse and STD (They should have considered the initials before naming the show), and SNW are in another multiverse. It's just easier in my head canon to think of it that way.

the initials for discovery are dis or disco not std. No trek uses s and t before the name in the initials. Std is a deliberate insult thought up by the trolls

Ok what? Your comment is totally uncalled for. I said nothing profane, immoral, unethical, or illegal in my post. We are discussing fictional charcters, yet you go straight to a personal attack against me, a real person.

I didn't say anything insulting or even controversial. Every time relationships or sex come up in this forum you inevitably say something that suggests you have no idea how people interact in an intimate fashion.

DSC.

That's my abbreviation for the series and almost never waver from it.

 

[Tosk]

I think if everyone stopped reacting to "STD" then it would have no power.

DISCO for me.

DSC is the official out of universe and in-universe three letter abbreviation.

solid medical advice

I was talking about Pike and Batel, fictional characters. I don't come in here to have comments made about me personally, no one does, and it's out of line.

Well, why not illustrate rather state a perception of ignorance?

Memory Alpha is still calling it DIS, isn't it?

Back to Ortegas, I found it unfortunate that they finally had the chance to explore the character and the only revelation we got about who she is, was “I fly the ship!” Well, no shit, we figured that one out in her very first scene in episode one. The actress got to show a little more range, however, and has the potential to be more than just the irreverent jock pilot with a penchant for banter and backchat. At the moment though, she’s by far the least interesting character on the show.

Given the circumstances, it was entirely appropriate for her to focus on "I fly the ship".

'Dis what?

 

[Trekker4747]

Watched it a second time, went down a bit better that time, enough to make me sit my vote on being a "higher" 7. Plenty of elements and visuals to like and I just like Ortegas.

To keep it consistent with the previous abbreviations.
Meanwhile TrekCore uses DSC, but uses LOW instead of LDS for Lower Decks.

If you have a problem use the report button and let a mod decide.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I have no problem with Batel. I actually think she and Pike make a cute couple. I just assumed that the thing with Una's trial would have caused them to break up. I'm glad this didn't happen.

Get low, get low, get low.

To the Windu! To the Maul!

Thanks, I did so.

Dat udder show.

Spock wears a Ship's Services or Command tunic in the second pilot episode when he's clearly manning the Science station on the bridge so all we can deduce from all this is that Starfleet is very, very prone to just changing things at the drop of a hat because reasons. Of course if he's already First Officer under Kirk from the start of the latter's command then that would explain the shirt color right there.

Or we could just go all meta and acknowledge that these were pilot and early episodes of the show, and the showrunners didn't have it all figured out yet, and quit trying to shoehorn every little inconsistency into an in-world explanation.

And before anyone asks, yes, I've been around the board a while.
