Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x01 - "Twovix"

[Crewman6]

Which is why I think she should have failed the test.

She nearly did. But she learned the lesson.

 

[Farscape One]

Not really, since Riker went to her quarters and gave her the hint with, "My first duty is to the ship."

He gave her the hint, and she redid the test.

 

[Oddish]

I still say that it was a test of character, of ability to command. It was treated more like the holographic equivalent of a sudoku puzzle.

And I also say that Data had more command chops in one cheek of his android bottom than Deanna had in her whole body.

 

[StarMan]

Is it on Prime? I watched it on my paramount plus (uk) subscription which I get through Amazon

Star Trek is all over the show down here. Prime has Picard and Lower Decks, Prodigy wasn't available anywhere, Netflix has TOS -> ENT + the Kelvin movies and our free-to-air streaming platform has SNW and DISCO.

It's always dropped on Prime NZ within 24 hours of its P+ debut (IIRC). It's a few days later and I'll be damned if I can find any information on if / when it's going to show up down here. The platform has S1 - 3, but no teasers for S4, no "S4 coming soon".

If it doesn't drop next week, I can only assume we've either been shafted, or the schedule has changed. Bit annoying given SNW was up on our free-to-air platform within an hour of it dropping in The States.

Is this the first homophone title in the history of Star Trek? There's been reused titles before, but I can't recall a case of two technically different titles that sounded the same.

 

[Crewman6]

Is that really a hint? He was just being frank. But she then realized that that was the role of a commander. He didn't cheat for her.

Unfortunately, that cheek was axed off in the very same episode!

Pretty sure "Rejoined" was the first episode about homophones.

 

[Farscape One]

It wasn't what he said. It was how he said it to her, with that 'I'm giving you hidden message' facial expression he has used before.

Look at that scene again, and you'll notice she said the exact same words to herself, in realization, after getting pissed for a second.

I know the line sets her on the right path and Sirtis acts as if it was a clue.

But Riker definitely doesn't deliver it in a winking way.

 

[Imaus]

I am very saddened at the apparent Not-So-Combative Klingon's death, or, as some as mused, his..abduction?

 

[Bgt]

I really enjoyed this one!
The spaceship that destroyed the Klingons, have we seen this before in ST or any other sc-fi Tv/movie? it looked so familiar..

 

[Photoman15]

It looks like an Mirror Agonizer

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Agimus and Peanut Hamper have clearly escaped from Daystrom and are out for revenge.

 

[TimeIsAPredator]

Abducted and kept in a big cattle pen.

Because that ship belongs to Moopsie.

 

[WarpTenLizard]

Hands down my favorite episode so far (due to being a Voyager fan). The Tuvix army was amazing, the macrocosms being used as squirt-baloons were hilarious, the Borg macrocosm was unironically badass, and the holograms of course were the cherry on top.

 

[Danny99]

I would've preferred the cheese or something else to a random macrovirus that has been hanging out in a wall panel for years.

The ship looked beautiful, but the plot was a little light.

 

[penguin44]

Depends on if the Borg adapted before the probe shut the cube down.

Not to forget the Breen are there as well

 

[Darth Thanos]

I may like this more on rewatches, but I thought it was fine. It didn't feel as much as a love fest as the DS9 episode, but I don't know if that's because of Prodigy being the defacto Voyager Season 8.

I'm glad it's settled and canon that Janeway murdered Tuvix though. There's no more debate.

Too bad about the Klingon lower decks though.

Actually, that was just Freeman's opinion. Janeway is still Admiral, and this episode proves that the Tuvix incident is known and has not been classified. This means that, for the courts, Team Janeway is right.

The only technically reused title is "Anomaly" as far as I know.
