As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.

The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.

We Know:

• Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
• Tendi wants to be a captain
• The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
• This is the last season.

I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.

We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.

I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

No. They’re aiming for that regardless.

Actually, I didn’t know. Never heard it used in an offensive context before today. But I’ll edit my comment just the same.

Airbags, Anti lock Brakes, and hopefully leg room are probably bonuses too.

Eeh.

While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

• You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

• You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

• You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.

Butter used to be dyed yellow. Now no one bats an eye that it’s off white.

It takes time, but new normals take over.

If we go by the gap between Strange New Worlds beginning filming, and S1’s release, we could see Academy around November of next year.

I feel like Dennis the buffer buff from the Lower Decks S3 Premiere was intended to be O’Brien, (Transporter enthusiast, war veteran) but for whatever reason it didn’t pan out…

… which I honestly felt worked out for the best. Dennis was like my grandpa.

Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.

Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.

And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.

Automakers care about how much R&D they have to invest and the impact on the quarterly profits. ICEs are dirt cheap in that regard, and it took the federal government bribing them to do so.
