It's also a Defiant class bridge. I'm 99% sure it's going to be the Section 31 one we saw seasons ago.

You're burying the lede!

Commander Boimler of Section 31! I was hoping we'd see him again before the show ended. At least hopefully it's prime William Boimler and not an alt-Boimler.

I don't know if that storyline will get closure, but I'm glad he didn't just disappear with no follow-up.

So they wear

the black badge officially in the late 24th century too?

And that front guy's jacket looks familiar...

Yeah, I too think it looks familiar somehow, although I can’t place it exactly. The high collar, wide shoulder vest combo in Earth tones does remind me a bit of the civilian clothes they often had people from the Maquis wear on The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. But I can’t find an exact match.

 

[NCC-73515]

I'm thinking of a thug, thief, trader, bar person, DS9 background alien...

Section 31's black badges were already seen in season 3. William Boimler even made a meta joke about them mirroring all the complaints fandom has made about them since they were introduced on Disco.

That did not show them wear it openly in front of others ("officially")

 

[SarcasticVulcanSalute]

What an awesome episode that was!

 

[Charles Phipps]

The perfect example of Trekkie blindness is that they mock the black badges relentlessly.

Then COMPLETELY FORGET that in DS9 Section 31 wears Nazi turtlenecks as a full uniform.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

They don't wear them openly though! No one spots one of them standing in one of Discovery's corridors and asks 'why do I keep seeing guys wearing black leather?'

 

[NCC-73515]

Exactly. When Sloan appeared in public, did he wear the WoK (not Nazi) black jacket? When Boims got the badge, was he in public?

 

[mattman8907]

With the finale tonight I'm kinda bummed we never got a "Crisis Point 3" episode. just as a way to close out the Trilogy.

 

[NCC-73515]

That might be a streaming movie *hope*

 

[The Rock]

I'm gonna miss the HELL out of this show. I hate that it's ending!

 

[James Cole]

Season 5 is coming to Blu-ray on March 25.

With the Skydance acquisition and massive layoffs across Paramount in the meantime, there'd been some speculation in the physical media collecting community that new Paramount releases might slow down or even come to a standstill. It's great all of STLD can get over the line before any major changes take effect.

Back in 2019 — a year before #StarTrek #LowerDecks aired its first episode —@mikemcmahan.bsky.social gave me this original-design Tendi pin after his first #STLV panel, thanking us for support in the days when the Trek fanbase was still VERY hesitant about the idea of an animated comedy.

Trekcore finally has some info about the hotly anticipated (at least by me) Lower Decks artbook we’ll be getting in July. Not much yet other than a short blurb about what its content will be and what I assume/hope to be temp cover art …

By the way, does anyone know if writer Megan Treviño is somehow related to Jesús Salvador Treviño?

The Art of Star Trek: Lower Decks arrives in July from longtime Trek comic home IDW Publishing, where Megan Treviño dives into the design of the now-concluded animated series.

Climb aboard the U.S.S. Cerritos with its crew in this special look at the art of the critically acclaimed animated series. With special sections focusing on characters, ships, backgrounds, and scenery, you’ll know the lower decks better than the crew!

Also included will be interviews with members of the art team, who provide special insights into the making of the series and the art process.

The Art of Star Trek: Lower Decks beams down July 8 and is available for preorder today.

 

[Cyfa]

Hotly anticipated by me, too! I'm very happy that we still have some Lower Decks goodness to look forward to. Hopefully there'll be a few more things to come as well.

 

[NCC-73515]

A lot of artwork went into the mobile game (which I can't play anymore), so I hope it's gonna go into that book as well

 

[James Cole]

Someone over on the Blu-ray Forum has found an Amazon Canada link for a complete series Blu-ray release. I doubt it's really a steelbook... instead it looks like an oversize DVD case.

If the pattern with PICARD and DISCOVERY holds, the complete series could come out the same day as the individual season 5.
