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

DS9 is my favorite series too, but I need more than nostalgia. The character beats were mediocre and could have just as easily been in an episode with no DS9. Ultimately the setting felt like window dressing, not integral to the story.

 

Yeah that's what I've been seeing with this episode, people either hate it or love it, very little inbetween.

 

Once the abandoned ships where found, I was kinda hoping for a 'oh shit' moment when Peanut Hamper discovers the Aerisolans are remaments of a dangerous unseen race (like Iconians et cetera).

 

This one struggled to keep my attention.

I didn't care for Peanut Hamper the first time around and even less this time.

Probably my least favorite LD's episode.

 

A , very, verry annoying character played to perfection.

If you aren't considering throwing something at your screen because of her you ain't watching it right. lol

 

I was not a big fan of this one.

I do not care about Peanut Hamper. And that Bird Man sure figured out how to operate that ship (by himself) awfully fast.

My 6 was generous.

 

Everyone always figures out how to operate a ship pretty fast on their own in Star Trek.

 

It's like DS9. You either buy the deconstruction of a core Trek fundamental or you are ticked off they betrayed said fundamental.

I think part of it is also the fact Peanut Hamper's redemption was already ridiculous enough to make a decent episode.

 

Well, as detestable as she was, she got what she deserved. Or maybe AGIMUS did...

 

I can see the two of them embarking on a scheme of conquest together and it totally falling apart because they can't stop bickering with each other.

 

IIRC they already teased something like that for S4.

 

They had better tech than the Federation. Maybe they had better AI too, and it could interpret Raw Dog's untrained commands into something that made sense.

 

Given the "romance" in this episode, maybe they should have called her "Peanut Humper"

 

is a season 4 confirmed, then?

 

Peanut Hamper being put with malfunctioning AI is, of course, due to the Federation's racism against nonorganic beings.

I wonder if Data endorsed her for Starfleet or the Doctor. There's not many other officers I could see who would vouch for her.

 

This episode had everything I could ask for

 

Not at all. I typically enjoy episodes, movies, or series that buck the Trek norm.

That is assuming they hold my interest and entertain me.

This simply didn’t. It was grating and irrelevant.

 

Yes. It was officially renewed back in January, writing began in April, voice recording began in June.

 

I must have missed this wonderful news, thank you.
