Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

Yeah... let’s maybe just keep the Vaadwaur, Kobali, Kazon and all those other insipid Voyager constructs away from this show (outside of the usual brief name-dropping), please.

Besides, I think we’re going to get our fill of them again in Prodigy, anyway.

I think some STO just leaked in. That makes sense in the 2410 timeframe, but not Lower Decks.

Repping Lower Decks in STO

That actually looks really good. Nicely done.

Someone recognize all the ship parts the (I assume) Pakled ships are made from? The wings seem to be from a Romulan warbird and the nose might actually be from a Mondor-type Pakled ship we saw on TNG. But what about those engines in the back? I feel like I know them from another ship, but can't quite place it.

Looks to be the back-end of a Tellarite Cruiser from "Babel One" (ENT).

Ah yes! Thank you! This was driving me nuts, I just knew I had seen that before. Pretty cool that they are using this opportunity to have some really wild references to the various Trek designs of the past.

Well the Parliament in STO at least is around 600-610 meters long, not that much smaller than a Galaxy class, and bigger than the Luna

Three decks in the saucer rim at last???

Has anyone watched the blu-rays all the way through? I have the discs, but haven't gotten around to a rewatch from them.

What I'm wondering is, do they still bleep out the curse words?

Capt. Freeman's "language" lately in S2 has made me wonder if the words are actually there, ala Family Guy or other adult animated shows.

Mike McMahan explained in an interview that the bleeps are put into the show intentionally since he feels it's funnier if we imagine profanity instead of actually hearing it. Therefore, that's why the bleeps stay in on the DVD/Blu-rays.
