Yuck, SNW was all the nostalgia tripping I could take. More boldly going, please!

It certainly lowered my enthusiasm for SFA s2, knowing they went hard with a cliffhanger finale... That show had a lot of spirit and promise, I wanted to follow those kids through the academy.

SNW — I know I'm in the minority here, but I couldn't get into the show's tone, and especially the way it's leading doggedly towards TOS, literally checking boxes for each continuity item. It feels like a dead man walking, and even more so now. This is actually the first time I've looked forward to a Trek show ending.

Oh, so jealous. TBF, it's still hilarious on fourth and fifth watching.

Barclay was evading real life conflict and pressure for sure, but also doing erotic power play with holo-versions of his crewmates... I think that last part was an early taste of our current deepfake porn reality 😬

Either way, Lower decks made it clear that into the 2380s, cleaning out the holodeck biofilters was still the worst job on a starship:

People really use it for that?

Oh yeah. It's mostly that.

There may be a joke flying over my head here, but Barclay only appears, having rather consequential holo addition issues, two full seasons after the Bynars' upgrades?

I dunno, it's almost too neat and tasteful, isn't it? I checked out Matt Ferguson's other anniversary posters, and they have a lot more going on visually.

Sure, this movie's tone is very different, but still.

Love the look on the cop's face on the right hand side. Like, "That's it, I'm transferring out of San Francisco ASAP".

The script where Alexander interns behind the counter for a week just writes itself.

WORF: [exasperated sigh]

If a bit squirmy.

Especially in a world with replicator technology 🖖

Testing... Testing...

Whew, it wasn't my time to be hit with the ban hammer! 🥳

Call me an epicurean, but
