Spoilers Cool Seeing Rarer Aliens in LD

[Arpy]

Awful.

Are you paying by the word to reply in this thread?

I’ve been on this BB for a long time and have used TrekCore, Ex Astris Scientia, (anyone remember PsiPhi or TrekWeb?), for news and reference, but I haven’t participated in other communities much...am I missing out?

EDIT: Also, I recently started getting into the Inglorious Treksperts podcast which is great to listen to while I’m driving or doing things. Anyone participate in other communities or visit other resources?

You asked how it compared. I answered. Is there more that is needed?

I personally have used ditl.org's forums initially, as well as the official Star Trek.com boards (back in the day) and have had the best experience here. I use Reddit occasionally, but it simply been as personable or engaging as here.

Others will no doubt have other experiences.

I tend to keep my Trek talk to this website. Knowledgeable posters here and the articles on TrekToday cover my Trek needs.

In the first two episodes we saw a Napean, Ariolo, Evora, Aurelian, Vendorian, Lurian... It was so great to see these “minor“ aliens again. My inner geek was practically dancing with glee.

In the second episode “Envoys” we saw more non-humanoids too — including the afore-mentioned Vendorian and a new centaur-like-oid. So cool!

The centaurs are not new. They are from the TOS movies but I do not remember their names

Same.

I was on the movie forum from 2008, that was great! I was actually the first member XD

I agree I think is great and they are giving us insights into how colonies/Worlds are very much multi-species.

The centaurs are the aforementioned Ariolo, unless there were more than one centauroid in the episode that I missed.

Love that we get to see all these aliens in animation since it's cheaper than cgi for live action. Really hope we get to see an animated Vorta or Jem Hadar at some point.

I hope we get to see the Selay and Anticans again. I think 'Lonely among us' is one of the first episodes of TNG i remember watching as a kid and I've always had a soft spot for those guys. Also hoping we get to some tholians.

I love the Selay!
The rocky creatures in the bar fight resemble the Sha Ka Ree rock people that were cut from TFF...

Except for the pants.

...Of course, they weren't centaurs in ST4:TVH yet - while they are admittedly seated in stalls there, they are definitely seated, there not being room there for a second pair of legs, or for any sort of a butt in noticeable excess of Hollywood standards.

That is, unless the two representatives there were relatively uncommon Shetland Ariolos, chosen for their role due to their compatible dimensions and exceptional patience with immature people.

Love to see a Sulamid from Diane Duane's Novels. 3 Meter tall stalk of Tentacles and Eye Balls

LOWER DECKS managed to do something I didn't think was possible.

They made the Pakleds dangerous. Successfully, I might add.

If they can do that, they can do anything.

It was a great episode. It should be more than ten episodes
