    I have a feeling the much deserved jab at ANISB may be in the back pocket to break out as a Get Romantic Feelings Out There card. Whether that will be for Tendiford (is that what kids are calling them?) or Mariner/Boimler or many some other combination of the four remains to be seen but that's a huge elephant in the room to ignore.

    I want Lower Decks to bring back the Xindi. In terms of jabs at the show, Maybe something about Trip dying.

    Or even a hint that perhaps he didn't. :techman:

    Be really out there if They referenced his pregnancy.

    Porthos tinkling on the tree inspired a rebellious faction who rose up and took over the planet. That planet now worships Porthos as a Warrior God and has erected a giant statue of him lifting his leg on the tree.

    That was 2010. Do get the sci-fi references right.

    And the preferred version is with bisexual Max and not space Russian Helen Mirren.

    Come to think of it, Shaxs' brief death was very similar to Trip's, wasn't it. They should point out the parallels.

    How about Seska impregnated Trip with Boimler's DNA

    Oh my sweet Jesus f**k, yes, yes, YES! Dear God, please let this happen!

    Yeah, Boimler saying Jet was like a Kirk sundae with Trip Tucker sprinkles.

    Casual viewers who may have watched TNG or VOY back in the day probably wouldn't recognize any ENT references.

    They kind of did reference it, with the sonic shower scene earlier in the season. Since it did resemble the decon chamber.

    I’d imagine the conversation would go something like this.

    Random ambassador: “Well, what about the final mission where Trip dies?”

    Mariner: “We don’t discuss it with outsiders. Half of Starfleet don’t even believe that’s the holoprogram its real and think he faked his death like Elvis or Tupac or Shran.”

    Ambassador: “Well, what about the time when Archer’s dog got sick and had to spend a night in sickbay-“

    Mariner: “We really don’t discuss that one with outsiders. We don't even like talking about it with insiders. Feel free to ask anything else though. Around 98 stories to choose from.”

    ----------

    I wouldn’t mind if there was reference to the difference between phase pistols/cannons and phasers and photonic torpedoes and photon torpedoes. Or referenced Mayweather and Sato as the original lower decks.
