Not even close.
Read the room.
You know, last week I started to think that I was being unfairly dismissive of what you post here.
Thanks for the reassurance.
Why not? Presumably for the 1701 and the C wreckage could have been recovered and installed. Even if that was after construction if we assume the A was already finished.
Stranger things happen for tradition.
The B almost certainly had a piece of the A installed in her. They had enough time between the end of Star Trek VI and the Enterprise-B's launch later that year to take a component of Kirk's final ship and bolt her into Harriman's new one.
The arrogance goes both ways. People like the show and told me Lower Decks got better, assuming it would get better for me just because it did for them. Obviously they can't think outside a certain mindset if they assumed that.
Also I find it a little strange that certain posters who took extreme overreactions to my jokes on this forum (always about fictional characters) to personal attacks against me, to the point they had to be put on ignore, seem to find this episode really funny when I click the 'Show Ignored Content' button to follow the thread of conversation. To say I find it ironic and odd is an understatement.
This feels like a false dichotomy though. I can see why people would not like Dal and like Boimler and Mariner and vice versa, but the appeal for either is not remotely similar.I do find it strange that some people who said they hated Dal and can't stand him on Prodigy (which is now canceled so I guess they won) are the very same people saying they love Boimler and Mariner.
I haven't noticed Dal hate. Or comparisons really. Prodigy is not my favorite because that style of animation is not my favorite, but as a kid's show with a protagonist who overcomes hardships, learns how to work together with a team, think strategically, be compassionate, and also how to lead, he's a fine character. Also, I'm confident Prodigy will find a new home after the strikes are resolved.
Well maybe that will excite others on here but for me who was already on the fence on that show as it is...
Paramount Exec: So a bunch of people quit Lower Decks. They're not even hate-watching it, they just stopped watching it period a long time ago.
SNW Showrunners: Don't worry, we have a plan to force them to watch at least one more episode. We'll turn an episode of Strange New Worlds into Lower Decks!
Paramount Exec: Brilliant, brilliant! We don't pay you enough. Actually, er, forget I said that, wouldn't want you using my words against me during a strike or anything.
Is this your example of your unique brand of humor?
It just got green lit for another season so, not sure where the information is coming from. Oh wait, I do.
DAMN THOSE CANADIAN CHARTS / YOUTUBE VIDEOS / RANDOM TWEETS / FRUSTRATED HUFFLEPUFFS
I recall the Canadian charts basically told us we were getting two episodes this week before the actual official announcement.
Based on what we saw with the courtroom episode, I'm gonna guess that that part of her record was most likely expunged.
I loved that Quaid did Boimler's weird jog walk as he bolted from Una.
This episode is dumber than a bag of hammers and yet works. These writing teams know what they're doing.
Holy Q, that was... something. I'm still not sure what rating I'm going to give it, because I'm still trying to reconcile how both worlds collided here on a stylistic level, but there were numerous great moments, well worth several rewatches to catch and digest. Spock guffaws! Don't look! Star Trek insignia on bottom of Boimler's sneakers! A lofty Pike hair compliment, to be followed by horribly animated Pike hair at the end! So much to take in... I had unusually high (and different) expectations going in, so that might be coloring my perception. It's like one of those vinyl albums of yore that you either dislike or are at best "meh" about at first, until you listen to it a few (dozen) more times and it becomes your favorite. Either way, I salute the effort, and can't wait until 9/7 for the next LD season.
M'Benga's animated cry of "WHAT'S IN THIS" at the very end of the episode was my last of the many laughs I experienced.
As others including myself already pointed out the miles difference in tone and cadence between the two sets of characters make for an organic generational gap, further reinforced by how the "younger" characters are so much more high energy. Also there's the old trek mantra of "infinite diversity in infinite combinations" having wild gaps in tone and culture between planets, ships, sectors of space, time periods, etc shouldn't be that far fetched. Even lower decks played with the notion with Boimlers brief stint on Rikers Titan feeling more like being in a startrek movie(or a season of discovery) than episodic life on the Cerritos.
