I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that!

I remember trying to get wireless working and having ndiswrapper wrap the windows drivers and having it fail epically

I think it just had issues yesterday, I was using it to watch episodes of CSI asy background noise show and last night it had no “episodes list” despite me being able to play the next episode

Except to use that analogy, all those star wars spinoffs gave us quite possibly the best piece of star wars media out there (Andor)

I like how one of the background characters in the party room was wearing the stupid headset everyone got addicted to in TNG

halo music

Also at 13:27 when Boimler is putting the canisters away I swear they are using the same sound effect as “half life 2 crowbar hitting metal.wav”

T’Lyn’s delivery with her lines is also fantastic

At the same time, I think they tried to pick a plot point that was relevant today, while at the same time conveniently setting up a new bad guy since the Kaylon were “removed” as a threat. I also don’t see it as the most implausible situation, since both Orville (and star trek) can basically change your gender at will, it’s not the most absurd situation that a culture is so macho that they have been genetically altering all children at birth to make it 100% male

Man it wasn’t even an arc, they didn’t mention the gorn at all this season except for this episode right?

I’ll say it, the adult gorn, in those space suits look awesome, I’m a sucker for more animalistic races in star trek

Are those actually all of the actors singing? I thought they just got separate singers

What the heck, this episode must have taken so much effort like 20+ minutes of singing + music (and the writing of the songs as well), and in a good half of those requires choreographed dancing as well, the a capella version of the intro, and a few orchestra versions in the credits

I was grinning almost the entire time for this episode, it was just…fun! And it moved the plot along too! (Although you kinda need to with so few episodes in a season)

I love this as well! And doing fun stuff with the star trek brand intro as well, I hope they continue both of those in the future

I think it’s s1e4 of lower decks

I liked this episode, and Uhura’s futuristic looking pillow

Makes me nervous about the…safety of the ship if one guy who I don’t think was even supposed to be posted on the enterprise (like Ramon was part of the refinery crew before Enterprise got there) was able to cut the power (no backups?) And blow up the nacelle , maybe starfleet should review their backup and security procedures there

I think my problem was that the rest of the sets look so good with actual physical spaces that a empty wall feels…empty :P

Ethan peck looked like he had a blast with this episode, screaming into a towel is a mood

I also enjoyed the “subservient” dad who really just wanted to eat good food and play charades but was shot down :'( but then the captain gave him leftovers with a cool snap :)

Also, as a meta comment, I really dislike the scenes where it’s clear they are just I don’t of the LED wall. It looks so fake and the actors just stand there in an obviously empty room. Season 1 of SNW had at least one episode of this, and season 1 of the mandalorian did too, and they really need to follow the mandalorian example.abkut having actual physical props in addition to the LED wall to prevent it from looking fake as hell

Hey people got it to watch the halo show ! Also Yellowstone is apparently very popular, and CBS stuff like NCIS (apparently the most watched show of all time?)

However I agree that they really should had just made a deal with Netflix which would have been cheaper for them than making their own streaming service

It’s a common trope that the away teams really shouldn’t be landing in these planets without any idea what’s down there without an alien style hazmat suit and here we go, another example :) I GUESS they get a pass because they were here before and the effects didn’t happen because they were not here long enough

also really strange they don’t confirm that people were dead? Or try and go back and get their bodies which might have equipment/ com badges /might even be alien (Spock was there and he bleeds green), maybe starfleet shouldn’t be so careless about what they leave behind…

World’s worst security on that super secret base

Also I love these time travel episodes where they just conveniently time travel to the current day of whenever they are shooting the current episode, and this was a excellent addition to those
