S1 E05 Cupid‘s Errant Arrow

🖖 No teaser. We're going straight to the opening credits.
🖖 The exploding moon is an homage to Praxis no doubt
🖖 Boimler has a girlfriend!
🖖 A Geordi teddy! I want a Geordi teddy! I really hope Master Replicas is making one eventually. They made Moopsy and Badgey, so why not also a Geordi teddy?
🖖 Some friendly jealousy from Mariner. Sure nothing will go wrong.
🖖 OMG! The faces she makes when walking behind Boimler and Brinson! 🤣
🖖 A Kirk sundae with Trip Tucker sprinkles! 🤣🤣
🖖 Tendi and Rutherford are hilarous fangirling and fanboying all over the Vancouver.
🖖 Captain Freeman is showing that she is a capable captain. Her diplomacy skills are good.
🖖 There‘s Jennifer
🖖 Oopsie! Sexy Boimler is awkward! LOL
🖖 Whoosh!
🖖 This is interesting: Tendi and Rutherford discussing how it‘s their job to keep the old Cerritos together. It will all come back in season 5!
🖖 Aww, poor Boimsy! Brinson breaking up.

S1 E06 Terminal Provocations

🖖 Humming Warp engine sounds— an instant classic
🖖 Good to hear J. G. Hertzler
🖖 Starbase 80! 🫢
🖖 Hello Badgey!
🖖 Delta Shift! 😠
🖖 Uh-oh, Badgey‘s gone mad.
🖖 Shaxs wanting to blow up a Warp core count: 2 (though here he wants to blow up another ship‘s core)
🖖 Shaxs and T‘Ana smooching.
🖖 There‘s so much being set up in this episode.
🖖 I feel like now the show has found its way. A lot of things have been set up. If planned or not, we're going to see a lot again later.

Ok, let's do it: Let's re-watch Star Trek: Lower Decks. And let's do it together.

I'll start my full LDS re-watch this weekend and will go 2 episodes per week. I will post my thoughts for every episode and would love to hear yours too.
However, you do you! Join in on the conversation, or just watch along without posting anything. You do not need to even announce that you're watching along. There's also no coming late or falling behind. This is a no pressure situation.
Of course, first time watchers are welcome, too. However, beware of spoilers at least in my posts (which will all be behind content warnings).

Let's just have fun with our favourite Lower Deckers. Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!

Mariner just wants to have a normal day, but no matter what side of the …

Why isn't the Spock Clock a thing?

I have only ever read one "choose your own adventure" book, but that was prose and worked with rolling dice. So I guess that's more a solo RPG than a "choose your own adventure". Anyway, with "Warp Your Own Way" you do not roll dice, but choose where to go yourselves; usually out of two, sometimes three options. The story gets pretty dark, like Star Trek does sometimes, but it is also hilarious like the tv show. It is a clever, well thought out adventure that I hope we'll see more of. And I'm sure this style of book would work for all Trek series. If it weren't a spoiler, I'd show you my journal where I have built a flow chart of all the paths there are and where they lead. After a while I needed it to remember where I had already gone and which options I hadn't …
