Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x07 - "A Mathematically Perfect Redemption"

This was by far my favourite episode of the season so far. I need more of Peanut Hamper being a complete shit-head to everyone.

 

1. It's not the worst thing ever. The Paris/Janeway Salamander Sex affair was the true nadir.
2. The quality of the episode itself didn't really help much.
3. Odo/Kira was entirely consentual.
4. And be that as it may, I was never that would about O/K. I liked it better than Bashir/Ezri, but that's not saying much.
5. Any of those romances (aside from the scene where Beverly is basically assaulted) is less icky then that bird dude shagging an evil sentient metal floating beach ball.

 

I had a theory that some day in the future, their kids come with a transwarp engine to sue them for child abandonment.

 

Mike has said he wants to follow up on the lizard kids.

 

Source? Not that I don't believe you, it's just that I like reading/listening Mike's interviews, especially for clues on his next move involving LDs.

 

Oh, god......

 

A beach ball with a replicator. Presumably Peanut Hamper can come up with any... apparatus... required. Let's be thankful the scene cut out where it did.

I wonder how things worked on her end, though.

(Any Questionable Content fans here? Suddenly I'm thinking of Sven and May getting together, back when May didn't have a human-standard number of holes.)

 

She probably faked an orgasm.

 

Only follow-up "Threshold" needs is to be deleted from canon.

 

She had a beak at the wedding…

 

That veil just slays me!

Peanut Hamper's beak is a nice touch. It's as hollow as one of Reg Barclay's programs!

 

It felt the most like Rick & Morty this show has ever felt, except there the bird people probably would have all died in the end.

 

Peanut Hamper and Rick would be eternal companions.

 

What the fuck did I just watch?
First Star Trek product ever I was not compelled to finish watching.

 

You should until the end when it all makes sense.

 

And Jeffrey Combs is in it.

 

If anybody can pull it off...

 

Can’t believe the high ratings for this one. I found it almost unbearable to watch. I don’t think I’ve ever had to switch off a Trek episode after 10 minutes just to get a break from it and then wonder if I could actually stomach the remainder. I wanted to throw something at the screen if I had to endure much more of PH’s grossly shrill antics. The previous week was so fantastic, as well! This is like a “Trials and Tribble-ations” to “Let He Who is Without Sin” level of quality whiplash.

 

Last week was a mediocre disappointment, and this is the best episode of the season to date, IMHO.

 

It’s incredible how tastes can differ! Last week’s made me positively giddy, although that may have been my huge affection for DS9.
