One thing I like about Lower Decks is - at the start Ransom et all didn't know who boimler was, but a few episodes he was complimenting him for handling the Tendi-scorpion situation well and it seemed like he selected him for that other mission because he 'thought he was ready', they're slipping in that the LD crew are getting noticed for their good work. It's nice, although I do hope it means Boims is going to move back up to Lt Jr and they're not gonna be stuck as ensigns just for the sake of the premise.

Particular like it being a very "un-heroic" solution. Scene showed both Ransom and Bomiler in a pretty good light.

But as usually the real hero of the piece, the tireless overlooked, overworked, replicator got no credit for it's vital role. :(


Screw lower decks crew, when are we gonna see a replicator promoted to captain, starfleet? WHEN, STARFLEET, WHEN!!!!

The LD replicator gags are my favorite. Boimler ordering “birthday cake, with candles, various temperatures” during the Tendi fight was both excellent replicator pedantry and also peak Boimler wordiness. Also, “black licorice, black”.

Them growing into officers certainly feels like one direction to go.

Or Boimler being promoted and put in charge of the ensigns could be a fun way to mix up the dynamic.

Episode was a banger, such a delight to hear Jeffrey Combs' voice on Star Trek again.

I really loved the stuff with the renfaire ship too, it really had the feel of a Lwuxana episode/silly early 90s tie-in novel about a planet with dragons that just feels like Star Trek to me as much as Klingons and Picard speeches and double-fisted punches do.

I actually read this novel as a kid and was secretly hoping the renfaire people were a deep cut reference to it.

or I'd be interested in how dangerously you can replicate before safety parameters kick in, like "one ice cube, 500 degrees Centigrade"

"okay, now one ice cube, 500 degrees centigrade, immersed in a container of boiling oil"

Discovery autoplaying after LD episode is over is double annoying that they start you at the cringey Klingon ASMR scene of the first episode even if you let several episodes play after just to avoid that next time. Cool website.

Anyway, I hope next season of Disco, Burnham quotes Lewis Carrol in a moment of stress. Seemed like they were going to make that a thing but it got lost in one of the shuffles.

It’s a setup for humor in a Judd Apatow movie. Why is it so hard for people to respect rules of the universe established? It’s the most important aspect of sci-fi and horror writing. The Star Trek universe has pretty good rules established on the values of humanity.

As it is, if this show handled The Outcast instead of Riker trying to help Soren get what they wanted (I guess she for portions of the episode. Pronouns are complicated especially when considering the end of that episode) we’d see Mariner abduct a random J’naii to tell them to just pick a gender. Maybe I’m overstating but that’s legitimately how it feels this show handles itself.

You know drat well Roddenberry would be all aboard making fun of the virgin and would have had him have sex on screen if he could

I think Mariner has probably seen a lot of red shirts get red shirted and probably has a good reason to be wary of the safety of a plucky ensign trying to prove himself. Maybe she and Tendi are going to bond over trying to keep Boimler and Rutherford out of danger.

Distilled water at 100 degrees C is somewhat dangerous and I'm sure the replicator would allow it. Basically, if you microwave distilled water, you can end up with this situation where the first thing that disrupts the surface causes it to begin boiling. Violently.

There's a couple bigass industrial replicators in engineering, and we didn't see all of it but it makes sense that the replicator room we saw once or twice has a big one for people to use. (Although the big full wall food replicators on the D are pretty big, you could probably almost get a pig outa one)

There is almost certainly a standard serving size but you can always just order more.

I wouldn't be surprised if you can channel the replicator network out through the transporter if need be and beam things into existence wherever in special circumstances.

I bet lovely captains abuse that. Bridge to transporter room three, refill my coffee.
