Holy crap, look at the old cell phone in the dirt, bottom middle.

Eww! No I don't! Take it back!

Prediction: Starbucks resolves the issue by raising all "milk" product prices to match the most expensive option.

Exactly.

This whole discussion feels like nobody watched ENT.

The Federation exists because Archer was such a fantastic mediator. Add in his rapport with T'Pol and Shran, and his willingness to die in the place of a Tellarite ambassador, and it's little wonder he was able to knit the beginnings of this alliance together.

I really got an Archer vibe from Pike in "Spock Amok" (SNW S01E05), when he dealt with the R'ongovians.

Yeah, that's pretty true.

Sounds like a Rick and Morty alien species.

Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

To be fair to Worf, Riker also adopted a kid ("Jean Luc", the alien with the psychic holodeck powers), and promptly forgot about him forever.

I've heard good things. I might need to give it another shot. I was unaware Cordero was in it.

I bounced off it after an episode or two. I struggle with that sort of awkward humor, where someone hiding the truth makes things worse (which is the vibe I got from the bit I did watch, but it's been a while).

That said, I've seen a lot of clips of later episodes, and the show is definitely funny. (The Time Knife and Jeremy Bearimy are hilarious.)

I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

Also, seeing people win a "$1Billion jackpot" and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes... It's pretty disillusioning.

Lower Decks was the first time I'd encountered Cordero. Then I watched Loki and immediately recognized his voice. Hope to see/hear more of him; he's great.

Also, fake other parts since Picard S1.
