Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point Ⅱ: Paradoxus"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
especially when they started going around in their own ships.
Personally I LOVED the ultra-subversive nature of Disco-S2's Section 31. Yeah, we have our high ideals and Captain Pike-speech morals but we also have a fleet of black deathships and an army of psychotic assassins to do the dirty work when necessary. Oh, and they're run by a cold and calculating AI that just kinda hates all organic life full stop.
Not gonna lie, amazed anyone would want to join the Federation knowing that
And of course, sometimes it was common knowledge and sometimes it was the darkest of hidden secrets.
...except they had a special badge

Yeah, it was really stupid.
Three of the four Lower Deckers now have their own imaginary ship:
* Mariner: USS MacDuff.
* Rutherford: Delta Flyer II.
* Boimler: USS Wayfarer.
Perhaps the next Crisis Point movie will be Tendi's, tying into her Orion backstory and giving her some cool Orion-Starfleet amalgam ship? Tendi took the movie more seriously than Rutherford, which is I why reckon she'll helm CP3.
I wonder if the USS Wayfarer could be a real ship? The name is believable and the registry number appears credible, too.

Because it was a dream, not the real Sulu. Also George Takei is old now, his voice has changed.
Nothing says it wasn't at some point. It was wiped out at the End of Season 2, everyone forgot about it and it existed completely in the shadows after.No reason to rename it if nobody knows it. That was the case until Disco made it a regular branch of SI
The horsey is going to bite you now.
That is correct!
George Takei had a guest role on a few episodes of Resident Alien which only just aired last month. His voice sounded normal there.
If this is the last time George Takei appears in Star Trek, his final line will end up being "The horsey is going to bite you now."
lower decks has the ability to make guest actors not sound like themselves somehow.

I feel like he'd be cool with that. XD
as far as we know, it was completely hidden twice (ENT, DS9), and well known twice (DIS, LDS).
His last line in Flashback was rather bland, IIRC.
Probably whatever room they're recording in.
Who says it's well known in LDS? The characters are always mentioning shit that no-one should technically know. I wouldn't take that as being well known, just meta/4th Wall writing.
Did anyone else catch the SUPER deep cut joke about "going back in time and assassinating Kennedy"? That was a HUGE reference to Gene Roddenberry's pitch for Star Trek II. In his pitch, shortly after TMP the Klingons use the Guardian of Forever to prevent Kennedy's assassination, which like with Edith Keeler, results in the world ending and the Federation never forming for...reasons? Anywho, the crew of the refit Enterprise follow the Klingons back to prevent any changes in the timeline, and Spock ends up being the guy who shot Kennedy. I'm sure the studio looked at him after that pitch and said, "...naw, we're gonna probably not gonna do that." BUT STILL, the fact that this movie pitch is referenced 40 years later is actually insanely cool, and shows just how big of fans the writers are.
This an oft-repeated rumor about a treatment Gene wrote for a potential TMP sequel that featured Kennedy.
The Dallas assassination was never part of the story. Only a mention that restoring the timeline would doom him.
This from documents both @Maurice and @Harvey (FACT TREK) have investigated.
It’s also mentioned several times in the Shatner’s biographies.
Interesting! I wonder if the writers of the episode were aware of this? At any rate, thanks for clearing it up!

They might've. Joke's still funny either way!
