Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x04 - "Moist Vessel"

[ToddCam]

By virtue of containing the root "corp," it will bear resemblance to any word having to do with bodies, be they human (corporeal) or social (corporation). However, the word "decorporation" seems to have very specific legal and medical uses. I suspect that this is a malapropism that shows us just what a phony the guy is. (Indeed, don't they show he wasn't truly committed to "ascension?")

I really liked his whole thing, because it made so much sense. "It's hard to stand out in Starfleet." I would imagine so! There must be millions of active Starfleet officers and enlisted. O'Connor was enterprising in his own way and hadn't really thought his plan through, but must have been doing something 'right' for ascension to actually activate with that slight amount of personal growth.

Don’t forget this dude...

For the record, he wasn’t a girl either.

lol. His bulge is pretty memorable.

Very true! It seems that the episode had this perspective that there were many paths to achieve enlightenment, none better than any other, and that one's faults don't preclude one from achieving enlightenment. (Or promotion, for than matter.)

Not sure if a phony or just word creep, but I'll have to keep an eye out in future viewings.

So THAT's what happened to Will Decker!

I choose to believe the koala is Q's true form.

Also that he ate him.

BTW, while Stargate is who people thought of, for me it was BABYLON FIVE.

Ohh O'Conner was voiced by Haley Joel Osment.

I thought that voice was familiar.

Wise words, Geordi. Wise Words

 

[The Old Mixer]

^^ Too distracted by Geordi's Beard of the Week.

 

[Captain Shaw]

This is my lease favourite episode so far.
I think Mariner is a bit too OTT this week.

 

[starfleettanner]

Just a random thought about Ensign Tendi: is her hyperactive, need for attention a side effect of some kind of Orion woman pheromone suppressant drug? It seems like she's always hyperactive like an ADHD child, and this last episode wanting the guy to like her seems a bit odd to me. Orion women give off pheromones that give them attention, so if that was suppressed would that make Orion women's hormones go out of whack?

 

[Saul]

This was the first episode that I thoroughly enjoyed. Very well done and some good laughs.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Bearded Geordi was so much wiser than not bearded Geordi.

Crusher hooked him up with the prized "shaving waiver".

 

[Krog]

Really enjoyed this episode!

 

[Crewman6]

And funny to me.

Funny how, though?

 

[Qonundrum]

lol. His bulge is pretty memorable.

They knew the episode was 43 minutes of snooze so they did the only thing left... and added in a rolled up sock just to be safe regarding this frontier...

I would never actively complain about the lack of LGBetcetc representation, because I don't need validation by seeing myself on screen. I think having gay characters is obviously a good and overdue thing, but I don't sit here demanding it with a clipboard ticking off some kind of lame quota. CBS Trek (imo) has overcompensated with including gay characters on other shows, so it makes complaints about Lower Decks all the more strange to me.

Yeah, but you're not everyone. So why not let the people who do enjoy it enjoy it without endlessly carping on about it like a broken record in a moebius loop?

 

[Aeolusdallas]

Do you remember the blonde girl in Voyager?

knowing some random character on a series is not the same as know what ascension is.
