Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 1x05 - "Cupid's Errant Arrow"

[Commander Richard]

The last episode had the U.S.S. Cerritos get terraformed and nearly destroyed, but no worries, a quick clean-up and a bit of vacuuming and everything's in tip top shape again. I'd say those atmospheric shields held up pretty well too wouldn't you say? No matter, the halfway point brings us Boimler's girlfriend. What insecurities will her presence reveal?

I'd think that going by the Mariner way of seeing things, 10 would be Ensign and 1 would be Lieutenant.

 

[Tim Thomason]

Be like Mariner. Vote Ensign!

Spoiler

Phylosian and 1920s Chicago...

 

[Charles Phipps]

I have two hopes here:

1. Mariner is not going to have her entire story be about how she doesn't think Boimler is too nerdy to get a girlfriend. That's a ****y thing for a friend to believe about you.

2. That Boimler and his girlfriend stay together at the end. I don't want her to a one off.

Edit:

Spoiler

0 for 2. That sucks.

 

[NCC-73515]

7:23 in and I'm going crazy

Spoiler

Deep Space Fucking Nine and an Olympic Class!

This was really fun. I enjoyed all three storylines this week. The moon demolition had some great animation and a funny payoff at the end.

Lots of little details that will reward a rewatch, I think.

I gave that episode a 4

I was not a fan this week. This series is basically Star Trek references and not a very good story. I mean Mariner and Barb were mocking a guy who was unconscious on the floor in front of him. I liked the Trek references and we actually got a Flashback scene to Mariner (And the DS9 uniforms made a comeback) but other than that, there was not much I was excited about this week and I didn't laugh once.

I refuse to buy the premise of this episode. In the utopian future of Gene Roddenberry's Federation, nerds are sexy and Boimler should have no problem getting a hot girlfriend.

I felt like they needed a joke from Barb. "We should probably check on Brad. If he's out past 30 minutes, he's probably dead."

 

[NCC-73515]

No opening is odd. The Parliament Class USS Vancouver looks great! Loved the maaaassive references to previous shows! The murder screaming ambassador is hilarious considering recent posts here XD
All in all, much better than last week.

Spoiler: Very nice ship shots this week!

And next week: NCC-502, apparently from TOS, where they had clamshell communicators, probably with a character from that time?!

 

[ToddCam]

Naked Brad! Yes!

Good episode all around.

 

[Charles Phipps]

Mariner suffering something similar to PTSD from seeing her friend's boyfriend eat her friend actually goes a long way to explaining her general insanity.

 

[Lakenheath 72]

This is a small observation. All shuttles assigned to the Vancouver are named after Vancouver's neighborhoods.

References! Did you hear the references?!

How about the references?!

There were references this week!

REFERENCES!!!!

References are the lowest form of comedy, which is why I use them constantly in my books. It's like a direct bolt of joy to your brain.

 

[Trekker4747]

There were far too many in this episode and beyond the point where they were relevant or make sense.
