Ta!
Also, E7 is now up on Paramount+ in the UK. Automatically Appended Next Post: It’s..ok, I guess? But then I’m near allergic to Lower Decks, so can’t pretend I can have a balanced opinion on this.
I don’t regret watching it, but I can’t see myself including it in any re-watches of this season.

I didn't realize they were staggered quite that far apart as there is still five more days here until release. That does explain the "ending to episode 7 explained" on YouTube. I wouldn't watch it either way but I thought it was a little early for such a things but since it already is out that makes more sense.

The episode was released here today too. I enjoyed it despite having only seen a couple of episodes of Lower Decks. It was a little jarring seeing the LD characters acting in character alongside the more serious characters of SNW, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly.

Jarring is probably the right word for it. I guess if someone enjoys Lower Decks this will land better.
I just found the LD characters deeply irritating.

I liked it. Mariner's irritating, but Mariner's irritating in Lower decks too.
but oh boy, you thought that was jarring, wait till we get the musical episode...

funny enough that this movie was to first to have something like this, we know how the Enterprise looks now and the flyby is a stable in all movies, but imagine you know Trek only from a 20" screen and than get this in cinema, of course everything else in the movie will be worse compared to this (specially as the effects for V'Ger did not came to its full potential until the remastered HD version)

That came out far more quickly than I was expecting.
I've never watched Lower Decks: Will this episode make any sense?

It'll make enough.
But if you don't like Lower Decks you might not like the episode. The two styles of show do kind of clash a bit imo. They don't quite mesh super well together.

I neither like nor dislike Lower Decks. Like I said, I've never actually seen it outside of a few trailers/clips here and there.

As a huge fan of both shows, I gotta say this was even better than I was expecting. That was a beautiful crossover. I've seen its already made some new lower decks fans and I think that's great cause the show honestly is really good. Not just hilarious but genuinely well written.

I just finished, I liked the humor between everyone and the jabs at ths shows from tge other show.
Outside of two specific places i, there was no real jokes about one being animation and one being live action

Just watched episode 7 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Being a fan of both SNW and lower decks I expected to like it, but it definitely felt more like a lower decks episode than a SNW one. I thought it was an odd choice to put the focus on the the guest stars rather than the SNW cast.
I got the impression that a SNW fan that doesn’t watch lower decks might feel a bit left out. And as much as I enjoyed the references to other trek throughout, it felt a little too much that I imagine a casual viewer would feel like they were missing the joke rather than an occasional Easter egg that you wouldn’t notice you had missed unless you knew the reference.

Ok, having the start of the episode just be Lower Decks animation was an inspired way of starting the episode, as was the fully cartoon replacement for the opening titles.
Fun episode overall.

SNW S2 E8
For me a welcome immediate return to Standard Trek Fare.
Distinct echoes of Siege of AA-558, and a deep dive into our “possibly ill fated because McCoy will be along at some point” Doctor.
If S2 E6 was Family Staple Dinner dish? S2 E8 would be much the same, but served with Hot Sauce for that extra level of spice.

That was the Hot Sauce I was referring to. Just that little extra spice. Not enough to distract from the main flavour, but enough to pep it up a bit.

Some of what we saw made me think of M*A*S*H without the jokes and set in space, at least all the medical stuff. Meatball surgery and all that. Obviously that was mostly set dressing for the real drama, but still.

That is pretty much exactly what it was except at the end it wasn't a chicken that was killed. Of course in the M*A*S*H finale it wasn't a chicken either. I did get a kick out of the misunderstood sayings that had been warped over the years plus, you know, Clint Howard. After all a broken crock gets rice twice a day.

That was a really solid episode this week.
But really solid performances from all involved, some tight direction and a lovely shift in tone from last week's.

Whilst I’d hate for it to happen on Lower Decks? I’d love for a follow up on those bug critter things from TNG.
They were shown to send a message into deep space, and then due to changes in writing and plans (they kind of ish became The Borg)……nowt.
It needs a follow up. And yes I’m somewhat disappointed Picard didn’t have such a follow up.

Lower Decks would be the current show with the correct time line for a follow up to the bugs.

Lower decks has mentioned it several times. And withvthe defeat of their other villains, they could use a new one.
The only ones who could follow-up are canceled(prodigy) or theoretical (legacy)

Alright, that was fun. Nothing ground breaking in terms of plot, just a lot of inter character drama, but the musical bits were well done. I was not prepared for the Klingons.

I thought he was going to be somehow immune at first. When they were doing the initial song and he was standing there looking bewildered I thought he hadn’t been effected because he wasn’t part of the crew, but it didn’t last.
