Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x03 - "In the Cradle of Vexilon"

[Tallguy]

I saw someone post "Mariner telling Rutherford and Tendi "Go fix it!" through clenched teeth is pure Carol Freeman."

Truer words!

I want "I miss my wife" to be the connective tissue of season 4.

We also had "The Naked Now" where one tray of removed chips meant the Enterprise was fucked.

Any one taking my chips away would be rightly fucked. I love chips!!!!

Chips with chips crumbled on top?
and

Then I want loaded chips, with bacon and cheese

Make it so.

 

[cooleddie74]

Everything goes better with bacon and cheese. Including cheesy bacon.

The Koala room Boimler ends up in might be a Twin Peaks reference

Might be? What else would it be? The floor pattern alone gave it away, let alone the backwards talking Koala.

The real question is ... do Star Trek and Twin Peaks share the same afterlife? Is BOB actually a Trek Alien?

I've never watched Twin Peaks.

I've never watched Twin Peaks.

Same. Any reference is lost on me.

I'm good without knowing.

I thought of those references as common knowledge, just as iconic as certain references to Star Trek ... even people who never saw a single episode know what a Klingon is!

I can highly recommend Twin Peaks, at least the original series ... you really should give it a try!

 

[Farscape One]

Agreed.

TWIN PEAKS was an excellent show. (The Showtime aired season 3, however, is a different conversation...)

 

[cooleddie74]

My family adored original Twin Peaks. I can take or leave the newer episodes.

In support of this... the person I was watching the episode with picked up on it being a Twin Peaks reference, and in discussing afterwards, it turns out they have never seen Twin Peaks.

I think (though clearly there are exceptions) it is wrong to talk about anything connected to Twin Peaks as being ‘common knowledge’. It’s the definitive niche-interest cult show. Beloved by a vocal minority, but largely obscure to anyone else.

Nothing in Twin Peaks comes close to the cultural impact of Star Trek and its’ associated iconography.

Twin Peaks inspired the X-Files, which went on to sadly change American conspiracy landscape.

I’m not saying it isn’t known or didn’t have an impact.

It’s the idea that obscure Twin Peaks references are something that could be considered common knowledge that I take issue with.

From start to finish, Twin Peaks is one big deep cut. Nothing in it has resonated in the same way as ‘Klingon’ or ‘beam me up, Scotty’ (to take a few examples).

That post is some damn fine pie.
