S01 E09 Crisis Point

🖖 Stupid Prime Directive!
🖖 I like that Freeman doesn‘t just beam away but tries to solve the situation on the planet.
🖖 Dr Migleemo!
🌳 Poor bonsai!
🖖 There‘s no privacy on star ships.
🖖 Mariner hasn‘t been that unhinged before.
🖖 Yay! Tribute to the films. I LOVE the films.
🖖 I also love a good fly by. 🥺
🖖 Ruthy and Billups have their own „warp particles!“ moment.
🖖 Freeman in therapy. Like mother like daughter.
🍪 Allergic to chocolate - poor Freeman!
🖖 Oops! Boimler knows the secret and can‘t handle it.
🖖 This is one of my favourite episodes.

S01 E10 No small parts

🖖 Beta III, Landru, and an image from TAS on a PADD! So good. I love this show.
🖖 Oops! The secret is out. Because of a very typical Trek thing: the combadges do whatever.
🖖 Peanut Hamper!!
🖖 Pakleds!!
❤️ I love this show!
🖖 Uh oh, Badgey!
🖖 It‘s another Enterprise! With the TNG theme.
🖖 Tendi is the sweetest.
‼️ „You know, we can‘t just assume people are gonna keep doing the right thing a generation down the road.“
🖖 Boimler on the Titan — what? Poor Mariner. Of course she‘s mad.
🖖 Ok, maybe this one is my favourite episode so far. It‘s filled with so much good stuff.

🖖 It took the show a few episodes to find its voice, which is totally normal. But by end of the first season it has found it for sure. And it's only getting better and better. Four more amazing seasons ahead on this re-watch. I'm looking forward to it.

I had started these notes months ago, but never posted them. Had to re-re-watch "Veritas" to finish them.
It's so great to be back in the LDS world. Fun, heart warming, lots of callbacks, great characters, in short: all the best that Trek has to offer.

S1 E07 Much ado about Boimler

🖖 The Dog! One of the funniest things in Trek.
🖖 OMG! A covert operation to plant seeds. 🤣 Of course this is a nod to Chain of Command. Hopefully this outing is more successful.
🖖 BTW, I like Jelico.
🖖 LOL! Boimler‘s phasing. Poor Boimsy.
🖖 The aproach of the Division 14 ship is great.
🖖 An Edosian! He clearly has fun.
🖖 Mariner is clearly overwhelmed with all that confidence Ramsey puts into her. It‘s hard watching her that way. We know her differently.
🖖 „We have two of everything,“ „Almost everything.“ 😆
🖖 LOL! A Warp 10 amphibian!
🖖 The Farm storyline is a bit… different than what we‘ve seen so far. It‘s dark and that one person actually threw Boimler out of an airlock! I kinda doubt he knew they had landed. But then again, it was all so dialed up and extra crazy, maybe that‘s just what we were meant to think.
🖖 Mariner‘s story gave us more insight into her character. She does not want to do what others expect of her (ranking up), but wants to make these decisions on her own. We see her self sabotaging in action with all the apparent mess ups. But we also see once again how capable an officer she really is.

S01 E08 Veritas

🖖 Uh oh! What is happening? And why?
🖖 Looks very Klingon trial as seen in ST VI
🖖 Red alert everywhere except the repair bay. For once the walls in a star ship are sound proof. 😆
🖖 Rutherford‘s adventure is very mysterious. That implant is interesting. Love the fan dance.
👂 So funny that they cover their round ears with the headband and only Rutherford‘s Vulcan ear is exposed. I love those konds of details.
🖖 „Tasha, no! the garbage bag‘s behind you!“ LOOL
🦖 Gorn wedding!
🖖 Tendi‘s story is so funny! I love everything about it. I think it‘s the first glimpse we get at what a badass Tendi is.
🖖 Drumhead! Well done, Boims!
🖖 Q! John de Lancie!
🖖 OMG! T‘Ana‘s mixed up the ship! 😆
🖖 Is this the first clip show episode of LDS?

In the "katra space" of La'An's own mind in #StarTrekSNW's "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans", a live-action Cetacean Ops, including several beluga whales, is seen. Cetacean Ops was first mentioned (in dialogue and door signs) on #StarTrekTNG, then first seen on #StarTrekLowerDecks.

I've been trying to re-watch SNW from the beginning, but I'm stuck at s1e9 because I don't enjoy Gorn episodes with gross things crawling out of live people's bodies. Can't make myself finish the episode or skip it. So now I'm re-watching Lower Decks (up to s1e8), after getting through about 2 more minutes/day of SNW s1e9. On my first watch when Lower Decks was new, I didn't really start enjoying the series until the end of the first season. I watched it, because it's Trek and I will watch all the Trek. But what I watch Trek for is characters, and when they have the exaggerated cartoon intonation, it's hard for me to take them seriously as people I care about. But by season 2 I did get to know the characters well enough to start enjoying them and caring about them. Tendi might be my favorite--I love her intellectual enthusiasm. Re-watching is more fun because I do already care about the characters, and now I appreciate the Easter eggs and Trek references more. I really enjoyed s1e7, especially transporter-phased Boimler being sent to that healing farm. Was that a warp 10 salamander? I assume so. #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #StarTrekSNW
