I forget which season it’s in, but LD has one of my favourite tidbits of worldbuilding in all of ST. In the episode where they are goofing on the TOS movies, there is a scene where Kayshon busts through a door and shouts “Temba!” before shooting a bad guy. Thereby establishing that the Tamarian “Temba, his arms wide” not only means “take this” in the sense of sharing/offering something to someone, but also means “Take this!” in the sense of an exclamation when attacking someone.
Oohh, good catch! I missed that. I still can’t believe there’s a Tamarian on the show, he’s awesome!
I understood “Temba, his arms wide” to mean a gift/offering.
Kayshon shouting “Temba!” was even funnier because he’s basically saying “Here’s a present!”
Unexpected NINE NINE!
You haven’t got to it yet, but I think my favorite quote in the show is “I don’t know, Tyrannikillicus, but I can try.”
It only gets better the further you get.
Hahah, it’s fun trying to guess who said this. Rutherford? I have no idea. Yeah this show keeps getting better and better! Wife and I will probably start watching season 03 this week, can’t wait!
Also, I’m mostly a lurker, but I’ve been here since a bunch of us left the Bad Place and I want to reintroduce myself. I used to go by - - - (will edit this out later) and I really appreciate the steady stream of memes and hilarious conversation. You guys are awesome. @Stamets, I am a big fan
As am I now. Welcome to the subspace fold <3
I was watching some of the behind the scenes extras and it’s incredible just how many tiny references they put into every scene. Clearly a lot of care has gone into it
I wasn’t expecting to love Lower Decks so much, knew I’d enjoy it but it really is incredible. Star Trek has always had a little sprinkling of goofiness but LD turns it up to 11!
The crossover episode is amazing too, didn’t realise how much the animators based the characters on the voice actors.
I want to watch season 3 but its not available in Australia with my Amazon prime subscription.
Streaming services that then want more money are heading the way of cable tv.
Paramount repatriated the show to Paramount+ just about everywhere.
Star Trek is even on P+ in Canada now, although we still have the shows coming in on premium cable via Media as well.
I guess I’ll never see it because I’m not paying for another streaming service, I’ve slowly be cancelling them instead.
