We're back with the fourth episode of Lower Decks, titled Moist Vessel. This episode was written by Ann Kim and directed by Barry J. Kelly.

This episode, we finally got a little bit of the dynamic between Mariner and Freeman and how they rub each other the other way. In the end, they did end up working well together in a serious crisis. They saved the ship and the crew of the Merced. I was wanting to see that family dynamic, although we still don't know how Mariner got that way. I still say she was pushed into command before she was ready, at too young of an age. However, Mariner's behavior is really hard to stomach. Again, this is probably exaggerated for an animated show, but why would they keep her in Starfleet if she acted that way?

Tendi gets involved in O'Connor's ascension, and he ACTUALLY ascends, which made little to no sense to me. HOW did that happen? WHY did that happen? Am I overanalyzing? Maybe. While I was editing this episode, I wondered if I was taking it too seriously, and holding this show up to a live-action standard. Again, maybe. It did bug the heck out of me, though, enough to take off two points from my rating. Tendi was a little annoying, too. By the way, the t-shirt I mentioned that had the koalas and galaxies can be found here.

The terraforming ship was cool. What it did to the USS Merced and Cerritos wasn't. It seemed like a LOT of damage to just be able to reverse. That took me out of the episode. A Tellarite captain was cool to see, although the name of Durango was confusing unless he had some human DNA. I don't really know but it would have been nice to explain.

We're back with the third episode of Lower Decks, titled Temporal Edict! This episode was written by

This episode we learned a lot more about the inner workings of the Lower Decks crew. Buffer Time, Margaritas, violin odes to Boimler's Mother. Um... yeah, that. Captain Freeman loses an all important peace accord at Cardassia Prime and demoted to a lousy return to an old first contact gift giving mission only to find out that her crew is not as efficient at doing their jobs as she thought. Mix in a Ransom and Mariner away mission that goes awry with some aliens who seems to hate wood and love geodes that leads to a weird, almost uncomfortable romantic spark between the two that I can't say I enjoyed. Over all this episode had some fun one liners, a lot of shoutouts to old Trek favorites, interlocked hands epic fight scenes and some great listener feedback for this episode of Lower Decks - Temporal Edict.

We're back with the second episode of Lower Decks, titled Envoys! Sorry for the lateness of this episode. Unfortunately, we had to record four days late, and I already had a full week.

The cold open was interesting, with an energy being strolling in and looking like the being from the TNG episode The Child, who Mariner manipulates to give them a new tricorder. It then seems to be absorbed by Captain Freeman, in a Tilly spore-like absorption. We're both pretty sure that we will be seeing this entity again later this season.

Boimler gets the assignment to escort General K'orin to Tulgana IV, only to find Mariner is also going. We see Mariner's ease at handling every situation, while Boimler fails miserably. There's a very funny scene that describes about 50 plots of Trek episodes, and then Mariner thinks a Ferengi is a Bolian, even with the over the top "Hu-mann" from TNG Season 1. It gives Boimler the confidence boost he needs, and we find out that she took one for the team.

The idea of Rutherford changing careers just so he can accompany Tendi to watch a pulsar seems more than a little far fetched, but it does bring us several funny scenes. The bridge simulation was especially laugh out loud funny, and I did enjoy the "Smorgasborg". Medical was less interesting, but still interesting. Rutherford, with his cyborg talents, would make a great security officer, but he would rather hang out in a Jefferies tube. Engineering, through and through. He still reminds me a lot of LaForge.

00:00:00 STLDP 002 - Envoys (S1E2)

So, that's it for this episode! For our next episode, we'll be discussing the Season 1 Episode 3 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Temporal Edict. Despite what we say during the podcast, we are pushing the deadline almost a day later. The deadline for S1E3 will be 5 PM Eastern/4 PM Central on Saturday, August 22, 2020. Your feedback is SO important to us!!! We have already gotten in some feedback about this episode after we recorded, so feel free to send in your own feedback for this episode and we'll cover it at the start of the podcast.

We're back with a new podcast, sort of. Rather than start a new podcast feed, we are putting the Lower Decks episodes on both the Picard and Discovery feeds. That way, you won't have to start subscribing to a new podcast feed. However, we are calling these episodes The Star Trek Lower Decks Podcast. For the first episode, we are covering Season 1, Episode 1, titled Second Contact.

You may remember from our episode covering the two animated Short Treks, Ruthie is not a fan of animation, so she's sitting out the episodes that cover Star Trek: Lower Decks. Kyle McAdams, who's been hosting Fear the Walking Dead Talk Through since Season 3, will be taking over co-hosting duties for Lower Decks. Kyle's been a Star Trek fan We may need to occasionally bring on guests, especially near the end of the season and the beginning of Discovery.

Don't worry! Ruthie is not leaving us. She's just not into animated shows. She will be returning to The Star Trek Discovery Podcast for Season 3 Episode 1 when it airs October 15th. You may go through some Ruthie withdrawal until then, but it's not that long to wait, though it might seem like it with Coronavirus still plaguing us.

I mentioned I'd probably put in the blog post who did the music and theme for Lower Decks. The answer is Chris Westlake. He also worked with Mike McMahan on Mike's other show, Solar Opposites, which airs on Hulu. We did see an Orion in the 2009 Star Trek film at Starfleet Academy (I'm not sure if she was studying there or not), but that's in the Kelvin Timeline. I neglected to mention that Orion women are supposed to put out very potent pheromones that males of many humanoid species are susceptible to, but Ensign Tendi didn't seem to have this issue.

Speaking of Mike McMahan, I did something I don't do too often. Every time I said his name in this episode, I pronounced it wrong. I believe it's pronounced Mick-mah-hann. It also might be pronounced like Ed McMahon or Jim McMahon. I'll confirm how to pronounce this name next week.

So, that's it for this episode! For our next episode, we'll be discussing the Season 1 Episode 2 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Envoys. We have to make a scheduling change for next week, so you will benefit from an extra-long deadline for getting in your feedback. The deadline for S1E2 will be 7 PM Eastern/6 PM Central on Monday, August 16, 2020. Your feedback is SO important to us!!! We have already gotten in some feedback about this episode after we recorded, so feel free to send in your own feedback for this episode and we'll cover it at the start of the podcast.

We're back with another call-in show that discusses a lot of stuff, including Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, SDCC 2020, and other streaming services. This call-in show held on August 1, 2020, for our Patreon subscribers. Joining Ruthie and me are Kyle McAdams from The Walking Dead Talk Through, Laurence Todd, Kim Voegele, Arend Mayes, Geoff Gentry, and Jim Matthews.

You may remember from our episode covering the two animated Short Treks, Ruthie is not a fan of animation, so she's sitting out the episodes that cover Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Kyle's been a Star Trek fan We may need to occasionally bring on guests, especially near the end of the season and the beginning of Discovery.

The big SDCC 2020 Virtual-Con was held last week, and we discuss everything mentioned. There wasn't much from Discovery, which was disappointing, although the finale read through was interesting. Picard was entertaining. We got that the Nickelodeon show will be called Star Trek: Prodigy, but the biggest thing we got was Star Trek: Lower Decks. We met the actors for the first time, and got an extended scene.

Ruthie will be returning on The Star Trek Discovery Podcast for Season 3 Episode 1 when it airs October 15th. You may go through some Ruthie withdrawal until then.

We're back with an interview! Ruthie and I have been talking about how good we thought Star Trek: Picard - The Last Best Hope is for weeks now. For this episode, we are pleased to bring you a special interview with its author, Una McCormack. This was recorded on April 25, 2020.

We will be discussing the novel in detail, so if you haven't read the novel, but are planning to, you may want to skip this episode until you do.

We think it's one of the best novels we've read in a long time. It's not just told from the voice of Picard. We also hear the story from other perspectives, too.
