Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread

Isn’t CBS launching All-Access internationally later this year? That may be where Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds end up.

 

Lower Decks Comic-Con Panel on the 23rd. It will be free to stream for everyone.

http://blog.trekcore.com/2020/07/star-trek-universe-sdcc-2020-virtual-july23/

there will be an extended preview scene from the first episode shown during it.

 

I did wonder if that might be the reason why, but considering that we haven't heard a peep about CBS All Access in the UK yet I doubt we'll be getting it anytime soon.

Then again Disney made people here wait months to see The Mandalorian on Disney+. However while Netflix still has Discovery (as well as all the older shows) and Amazon has Picard it would mean for many people signing up to yet another service to see a Star Trek series.

If that is what will happen to Lower Decks I'd probably either sign up for 1 month (might cost nothing with a free trial) to see it or wait for the DVD/Blu-ray release.

 

TRAILER
Though it might be region locked:

I'm getting this:

This doesn't feel like region locking, so much as a browser compatibility issue. Got the latest Flash player plugin installed and I tried FireFox, Internet Explorer and Edge (all latest releases), and none of them work. Also, just in case, I tried bouncing my domain redirect through several places around the world and that didn't make it work either. I won't install Google Chrome spyware on my machine, so I guess I need to wait for another source.

 

It is region locking. Refresh the page and you'll see another message just before this one. Blink and you'll miss it. It says "We're sorry, this content is only available for viewing in Canada. 72"

 

Yes, I am down for this. Looks awesome!

 

Didn't work in Chrome either.

 

Try TOR browser extension for Firefox. Set the region to what might work.

 

Wow that was a great.
Another ship design spotted on the promo image at the end of the trailer.



Should we attach a spoiler tag to the thread?

Spoiler

It is clearly heavily inspired by TNG, which is a bit anachronistic, you see Romulans in the trailer wearing their TNG uniforms instead of their Nemesis uniforms. But fuck it, I'm all for the nostalgia and it's an animated series, plus maybe the full context will explain it.

 

I think you mean “anachronistic”.

This region blocking nonsense really is a fuck-faced way to conduct business in the digital age.

 

I always get that wrong.

Fixed.

Someone was right, they made them literally on the lower decks. Though on the saucer, not the pieces between the nacelles.

They're using TNG Stardates

Spoiler

This sign says "Qo'noSHSm"
Qo'noS is obviously the Klingon homeworld, but I can't figure out what the 'HSm' at the end is meant to mean

 

They seem to have removed the video. The link still works, but there's just a black box.

I have a few screen caps

They've even removed the link on their front page, which is how I stumbled on it in the first place. I guess this wasn't supposed to be posted yet?

 

That makes sense, it wasn't posted anywhere else.

 

Looks like there’s a TOS shuttle and a TMP air tram as shuttles on Qo’nos.

 

well this is what i expected dumb rick and morty shit oh well i'll still watch it if only for the probably small amount of caitian doctor stuff in it here's hoping the upcoming nickelodeon thing won't be as rick and mortyish as this

 

Interesting angle of the ship. I’m liking it a lot more than before, but I think the detachable warp sled theory has likely been debunked with that scene.

Im not seeing the similarity
