There another Star Trek thread? And I think Mariner doesn't explain herself because it was very clear no one wanted to hear what she said, and her reputation being what it was, they just assumed her "But I didn't do anything wrong!" would be her just trying to defend being a poo poo disturber.

When are we getting a Short Treks where Detmer has to go back in time and be PM of the UK for 45 days to keep history on the path to the Irish Reunification of 2024?

I bet Landru has convinced somebody to take that DO NOT OBEY sign off of his housing, they should go back and check up on him before the next Festival. Captain Freeman better brush up on her computer-defeating logic puzzles, things are about to get The Ultimate Computer-y up in here.

ashpanash posted:the sudden Breen appearance / full-on act of war / sudden introduction of the new ships was far too rushed and unearned. I get that it's setup (I bet the Breen are fake or were lured there on false pretenses by the evil computers) and I get that they have limited time to do all of this setup in an episode, and it's not like I'm unwilling to let the show slide here. But it still should be called out, It's the kind of thing I'd expect out of Picard's writing room, not this one. Sounds like straight out of the DS9 writers room

ashpanash posted:I mean, "Admiral Buenamigo?" Practically screaming evil admiral there. I had to go back a few minutes to double check it I had missed something after Mariner was transferred. I expected a twist somewhere that Space Shenanigans had gone down that Mariner wasn't aware of yet could be reversed immediately at the end, but for whatever reason the show committed to the idea without humor or complexity. Weird episode.

I found it weird that aside from Boimler and Tendi, no one gave Mariner a chance to defend herself.

Showing any part of Starbase 80 was a mistake. Seeing that it’s a run-down shithole is way less funny than everyone’s formless fear whenever the subject is brought up.

The episode had some great parts (Rutherford screaming at the near-weeping Security Officer) but I didn't like how they handled the whole Mariner aspect of it. Still, I have faith it'll go somewhere interesting next week. The mural though, that was

Nah this is a story they've done a half dozen times now where Mariner constantly acts all irresponsible and entitled and then when she's accused of acting irresponsible and entitled acts all shocked and hurt when nobody believes her, but then she never has to change or suffer consequences because the writers always make sure that she was right in the end.

drat, poor Mariner. Her reputation for being a troublesome poo poo-stirrer is so bad that even her girlfriend assumes the worst when she actually did something nice and selflessly pro-Starfleet, never mind her mother.  Also Breen out of nowhere. Did they disintegrate a kid as their introduction?

Ross must be thrilled with this episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lQ1XIrXjls I did think it was kind of lovely that the whole Mariner plot only works because of sitcom-esque 'nobody talks to each other and there's a misunderstanding' logic.

I still think (or hope at least) the finale's gonna reveal the reporter was carrying some sort of contagious mind parasite or something. It just rubs me the wrong way, the way Freeman reacted was way over the line and borderline cruel (going on the intercom to be like "nobody even talk to her" etc.) and I don't buy that even Jen wouldn't have given her at least the benefit of the doubt. I dunno. It seemed like a very unnecessarily rapid escalation of events. Also agreed, Starbase 80 was way better as a Maris situation. e: ok I did think of something and it would be preeeetty funny if the finale was essentially a parody of Disco S2 - evil AI has infiltrated starfleet again and Will Boimler-in-S31 tries to save the day but is immediately absorbed by the evil AI Snow Cone Capone fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Oct 21, 2022 |

Freeman's overreaction makes (some amount of) sense to me, even if it's a bit heightened and exacerbated by nobody talking to each other for plot contrivance reasons -- as far as the captain knows, her daughter just singlehandedly undermined the pet project she'd been shepherding for several years, made Adm. Buenamigo and the rest of the admiralty look like idiots for taking a chance on her, ruined the public perception of the entire California-class fleet, and permanently blocked her from rising any further in Starfleet

as much work as engineers have to do regularly on starships, i'm a little skeptical that the texas is a reliable idea. Though some muscle they could send if there's trouble in the sector seems like an ok idea to me? The Cerritos sure seems like it could use a guardian angel every few eps
