Spoilers Strange New Worlds Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists

[Racefuel]

So, did they get the grain back?

I don't care for Lower Decks at all, don't think I made it through an entire season, so that automatically negatively influences my opinion. Still, I was expecting worse. I'm curious, are the live LD actors the same ones who do the voices in the animated show?

I'll give this a 7/10.

They are the same actors

Yes

Wonder what parts of the D ended up on the E and what from the E on the F, and what it's predecessor was installed on the Titan when it has rechristened to the Enterprise-G?

Spoiler: Spoiler

Personally I rather like the conference table theory since it was indeed the same set piece just refreshed [\SPOILER]

If there's one thing they really could have done that I would have 100% loved (given the animated part of the SNW cast and the end was NOT because of any of them traveling to the future for a short period); would have been to do the 23rd century animation in the TAS style; and LDS did that type of thing as an Easter Egg in one of their own episodes as there was a shot on a PADD of Kirk and Spock that DID look like their TAS character designs...
^^^
But yeah, that probably would have confused the majority of people watching this episode.

They have just announced a series of shorts in that style for TAS’s 50th

Well, let’s see: the 1701 blew up and re-entered Genesis’s atmosphere, after which the entire planet exploded. Pretty sure there was nothing left to salvage.

On the other hand the enterprise has been refitted extensively more than once, she has plenty of shedded spare parts floating around maybe they thought to save a peice?

The episode implies that the piece is taken when the ship is decommissioned, yes?

Greatest...episode...ever

A perfect 10, but with Frakes directing, this one.....

That added to my enjoyment, too, knowing Jonathan was behind the camera. I could just see him and his grin as everything fell into place. Have I mentioned I adore that man? Well, I do.

 

[Galaxy]

Was I the only one who missed the memo that this is releasing early? [Edit: No I was not]

I was laughing a lot. It is a 10.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Trials and Tribble-ations did this much better. Sisko and Dax were geeking out but still maintained a level of professionalism. As for Boimler and Mariner, I'll just assume they die horribly on Frontier Day

Dude, who spit in your blood wine? LD is goofy, cartoony…

 

[Doctorossi]

It is a rare episode of Lower Decks that I truly enjoy and, to date, no episodes of Strange New Worlds that I don’t truly enjoy, so my anticipation for this episode was built only on a fervent hope that the latter show would rub off on the former more than the other way around and a (morbid?) curiosity about how they would pull it off in a technical and story-conceit sense.

Well, for me, the episode was pretty much as note-perfect as this mix of curried goat and butterscotch pudding could ever hope to be. The inevitable “Lower Decksness” of it all is still a limiting factor for me, but within that framework, tell the folks in the parking lot to watch out because this one’s way out of the park.

I rate out of 7 and I think I’ll give this one a 5.

A fair point if it proves to be true on a rewatch, but given how weird things happen to starships all the time would it not make sense to have a plan B?

 

[Nerys Myk]

So, did they get the grain back?

Yes. they gave the Orions the credit for discovering the portal in exchange for grain.

I don’t think they said that.

Not 100% will check but I’m pretty sure they said that they included a part of the previous ship to bear the name in the construction.

 

[Racefuel]

I’m think it’s just a case where the components are used when able. Obviously it’s not always possible in some cases, like the Enterprise not being decommissioned fully before being lost over Genesis, or the C being lost at Nerendra 3.

The Enterprise-A can pass things on to the B, and D to E. Since we don’t know for sure what happened to the E, we can’t say if the F got components. Perhaps parts of the F were used to repair and refit the G

 

[The Knappos]

As SNW and LWD are my two favourite shows of the streaming era, this was the perfect synthesis of the two.

Back story and character beats for just about everyone.

I’ve watched it three times already. Note perfect.

 

[Amaris]

Actual dialogue from episode:

Ortegas: "So we need to dig an NX class ship out of mothballs?"
Boimler: "No, because, the tradition is, every time a new vessel is commissioned..."
Pike: "Construction starts with a piece of the last ship to bear it's name."

 

[Galaxy]

I'm curious, are the live LD actors the same ones who do the voices in the animated show?

Yes.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Just a perfect episode. Boimler being a canon purist was a nice touch. Also Jack Quaid did a great job incorporating Boimler’s more animated movements, including that weird speed walk thing he does.

Even destroyed ships are eventually "decommissioned".
(taken off the Active List)
Especially if the ships name is desired to be used again.

(though I don't believe that was what was actually said.)
