Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x07 - "Fully Dilated"

[Firebird]

Same, but he's not credited, so it's probably one of the regular (or semi-regular) cast doing a voice. Or a long-shot uncredited cameo.

He sounded like Patton Oswalt, but when I saw Eric Bauza credited as guest cast, I'm pretty sure it was him.

I'm really curious where this season is going with these rifts? Could it be the work of Evil Tasha? Will we end up seeing another TNG reunion across various timelines? Find out next time, same Trek Time, same Trek Channel!

Great episode, good humour, nice to make fun of lurkers. Love the general art style of this show. References a bit too much in-your-face, and hard to believe purple Enterprise would not notice their Data is missing but no big deal.

I expected those aliens would find Tendi's device to power purple Data and enter warp age within a day or something like that.

I still cannot believe they decided to end this wonderful series.

One of the many advantages of animation is the lack of physical sets which usually would get dismantled after cancellation. The show might eventually return like Futurama, who knows...

 

[Hawku]

I really want this season to end with an explosion burning off Boimler and Rutherford's beards.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

The suspicious alien lurker trope as personified by Snell was deliciously served on this Thanksgiving Day. I couldn't stop laughing at his predictable peeping, and all the reactions to his behavior were hilarious.

So many references to unpack. You'd think Mariner spent all her spare time watching Star Trek series the way she breathlessly rattles off one allusion after another!!!

Captain Freeman hasn't had a memorable meltdown lately, but her tired dismissal of the alternate universe developments is almost as priceless. Love her.

My favorite story of the season so far.

I agree with the consensus, this was probably my favorite episode of the season. It was a fun blend of a number of prior episodes (many of which Mariner rattled off). This episode more than others I felt was limited by the half hour runtime, I could've watch much more of this concept.

My one complaint is that Boimler continues to get the short end of the stick this episode. I don't really have any issues with his and Rutherford's role here, it was fun and well integrated, but he still is in the back seat this season.

Very nice basic idea and fun to have data in it, but totally nothing special of an episode. A few fun jokes, but the way everyone but t’lin acts is immature even by lds standards.

6.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Another fun episode. I wish a little more was done with Purple Data, like they just used him as TNG Data but purple and no differences. But it was good.

 

[Markonian]

Love the episode. It could almost be a beautiful getaway to live in a house like this. Depending on how comfortable life in this tech stage can be. Seems strange that the three officers cohabit for ten months without realising what each other is up to.

I’m gonna try to recreate the purple D in STO. I hope Fanhome can bring out a model of that ship.

It hurts every time to watch an ep and know it’s the final season.

One thing I didn’t like is the transporter trouble. Licking, really? Couldn’t they quickly replicate an absorbent cloth, or get a DOT? Comedy can work without slapstick.

He sounded like Patton Oswalt, but when I saw Eric Bauza credited as guest cast, I'm pretty sure it was him.

Evil Tasha you say?
(Control Borg Queen Tasha Yar)

 

[Frontis]

Oh I love this episode, actually it's my favorite episode of this season so far.
Can't really explain why but I just enjoyed it so much watching and felt very entertained.

 

[Hawku]

"I'm a doctor, not whatever the f%^# this is."

 

[El Maestro]

"I'm a doctor, not whatever the f%^# this is."

This was the best line in the (very funny) episode for me. Just perfect delivery.

 

[aquova]

It was interesting how Purple Data has seemingly had the same life as regular Data, meaning the Cerritos is quite a bit into his future -- Prime Data is dead by this point.

 

[Dukhat]

Which makes it odd that Mariner acts like he’s not.

Either way, I’m glad that there’s an alternate universe where the Enterprise-D did not get destroyed and is still active with the same crew by 2382. Even if it is purple. I didn’t get the impression that the purple Ent-D was from the past.

 

[Frostscape One]

Does make a point that irks me about that universe.

18 years and STILL a Lt. Commander?

That's just wrong.

That's just wrong.

Yeah, I didn’t think about that. But at least he’s better off than Harry Kim. Yet.

 

[Airmandan]

Light episode, but holy shit did not expect that guest star.

 

[Paul755]

Yeah, that was pretty great. Loved the time dilation stuff.

I do think the Boimler stuff is kinda starting to wear a bit thin though.

 

[Dukhat]

Yeah, he’s acting far too much like a super-doofus. I’m not quite sure where that’s going.

 

[NCC-73515]

Purple is not that far off, since pink Data actually existed during pre-production

 

[Frostscape One]

Yeah, I didn’t think about that. But at least he’s better off than Harry Kim. Yet.

That's debatable, since Harry Kim didn't have quite the awesome record Data had.

(Though Harry most definitely was given the shaft in terms of rank promotion.)
