🖖 Star Trek returning to small screens :starfleet:

Lower Decks S2 Ep1 has just dropped with your favourite IPTV provider.

More “knowing” humour already obvious.
Homage to TOS & Gary Mitchell and a big push against the Roddenbury fabric of Trek where everyone has to love each other & humans have evolved beyond personal conflict.
Amusing clever & funny
And even a gentle piss take at Will Ryker & TNG starring Will Ryker himself

Up to Ep 3. We’ll always have Tom Paris.
I thought Ep 2 was one the best “Geek Treks” anyone could have imagined let alone created. 2 weeks on and Nerds are still finding new Easter Eggs from it. Did you know in TOS there were THREE Spocks? 1 Died in Warth of Khan, 2 was found in the Search for him and 3 was Giant Spock in the Cartoon Series. Well…
Ep 2 was serious geekness and funny, anyone remember Tom Ryker?

Ep 3 was epic. Yes it had Tom Pairs in it, And so much more.

This is a QUALITY show, It is funny and if you love Trek it is Funnyclever.

S1 is on Sky, watch it, it is patchy but S2 is excellent Trek, in fact it’s Life Jim, but not as we know it…

Anything with Bob Fossil in it is worth a watch, having him voice the Pakleds was a good choice. Out of warp ten I’d give this series a 5, and a 6 and 7 and a 8…

Enterprise getting some love.
New series release dates & trailers.
The Borg Queen returns to Picard which has S3 officially confirmed.

And Strange New Worlds

Features Cadet Uhura & Nurse Chappell

Also brings back a sub species of blind Albino Andorians from Enterprise, played by an actual blind actor.

Up to Ep5 of Lower Decks.
The Ferenghi & Section 31 references in Ep4 & the solution were classic, Ep5 was almost classic comedy.
Dooplers may be the next best thing since Tribbles.

What a great and loving show it is. Now nudging 11 out of 10.

And the carved names on the bar :star_struck:

A bloke I know is working on Star Trek Picard. Met him getting pissed up in North Carolina. Here is an interview he’s done recently.

I don’t have a big enough helmet to do that
:rofl:
He has a huge helmet!!..
He is so strong

Lower Decks S2 Ep 6

Oh and Tasha Yar… :heart:

I finally accepted that my home entertainment system is too complicated when I switched it off last night.

It said “I don’t think you should be doing that Dave,” before singing A Bicycle Made for Two.

Bit of 2001 trivia. Take the letters HAL, and replace each with the next alphabet letter.

Kubrick claimed it was just a coincidence. :thinking::grin:

Yeah, and VMS, of the VAX fame, became WNT (Wndows New Technology)…

Classic

Finally.
Something you can watch with kids or any Sotonians
