That was just loving great. Outstanding visuals too, especially when the Titan swooped in and dispatched the Pakleds (a great callback, having them as a powerful enemy with plausible motivations, and the TMP/TNG music was absolutely perfect). I love the super deep cuts, like the Spock helmet, even if it makes no sense why it exists. The episode was a huge nostalgia bomb with the old shows being mostly respectfully referenced. I'm also super glad the finally canonized the design of the Titan, one of the first times a tie-in novel details made its way to canon. Kinda like Sulu's first name, it was revealed in the novels and made its way to canon.

Eh, Trek has had "saucer/seperate pod/underslung nacelle" designs since The Wrath of Khan.

Romulans. Maybe they had a resurgence once the whole supernova emergency is more or less over. Didn't lose FTL travel because they use singularities instead of dilithium. Still pissed at Spock.

I'm genuinely interested to see how the inevitable scene of Burnham looking up Spock in any historical archives and learning of his accomplishments plays out.

Crusader posted:given this is post-temporal cold/hot war, you could justify showing his ultimate fate in the kevlinverse; e.g. eventually starfleet time agents were able to find the right timestream he landed in blahblah and for historical completeness recorded the rest of his life and returned to the main timeline... hell, you could unify the whole kelvinverse that way really I quite like this idea.

Also of a little interest, this episode proved the Guardian wasn't just a time gate, but has access to multiple universes and timelines as well. You could legitimately and canonically visit the JJverse from the Prime universe. Hypothetically.

Finale was fine. The one thing I really appreciated this season is that we avoided the badmiral trope and got dadmiral instead. I loved every drat scene of his this season.

I loved the little continuity of the Pakled wanting to see the ship's "crimson force field", an entirely made up device that they still haven't figured out isn't real a decade-plus later.

I must have missed a detail or something, but what was the result of the data upload to the padd? Did I miss something or is that a sequel hook? Because more of that particular guest voice is more than welcome and if this a way to bring him back.... Or I just missed something. More likely.

The end credit 'gag' was perfect. This show is great, and the visuals are outstanding. Tho I coulda swore I heard Dorn's voice a couple of times on the Klingon ship, his name wasn't in the credits.

^ yeah Realistically, a ship's bridge should double as a fully-fledged escape pod. Ninety nine times out of a hundred the bridge is one of the most visible targets on almost all Trek ships, and it would make sense to have a last line of escape. For all of JJ-Trek's issues, the "Kelvin pod" bridge escape pods made a lot of sense. And treknically, the bridges were designed as interchangeable units, so no reason they can't have fully independent support systems and even rudimentary propulsion. That said, I don't like those ships much, even if I do admire them attempting something that actually looks futuristic.

Shyrka posted:... ejecting the bridge to save the officers while the rest of the ship hurtles into a black hole or other deadly anomaly feels kind of lovely. Seems a very badmiral thing to do, yeah "rank hath its privileges" The rest of the crew do have their own escape pods, but no cool main viewscreen or seatbeltless swanky chairs. From a defensive pov, in a "poo poo, we gotta get the gently caress off this ship!" situation, it would be just as fast, likely faster, to eject the bridge instead of those officers making their way to the closest escape pod on another level. And even animated, Lower Decks' starship porn has been utterly fantastic.

A.o.D. posted:Wait, that wasn't just a throwaway line? When were rubber duck rooms a thing? It's a nod to the MSD display on the Enterprise-D, which had a giant rubber duck in a room as an Easter egg. Unable to be made out in the old SD cuts, visible if you look at the remasters. I think there's also a B-52 bomber room on the D, too... Edit: it was a DC-10 as seen here Wee Bairns fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Oct 14, 2021 |

Of all the races they could chose to portray as a legitimate threat, the showrunners chose the Pakleds. And they've not only made it work, but have made it work well. I love that.

Say what you will about the current productions, but I very much appreciate all these behind-the-scenes glimpses at the thought and effort that went in to visual designs. I also love that they have the geekiest people like Drexler working on these because those guys really get into what they're doing simply for the love of the franchise. And a paycheck for doing what you love seems pretty awesome.

I was rather pleased that Picard's version of the slingshot effect wasn't just an abrupt jump to 2024 and instead we got some trippy visuals to show the ship moving through space time ala The Voyage Home's styrofoam drug trip.

Yeah, the events of the episode "Time's Arrow" aren't referenced at all, which surprised me, as chronologically it's already happened from both Guinan and Jean-Luc's perspective. The casting of a young Guinan was well done, I quite like this actress' take on the character. Loved all the bits of continuity, though I saw the bus/punker cameo gag coming a mile away. Also liked the references to Jackson Roykirk and the book by Torme from TNG. And are these watchers affiliated with Gary Steven's bosses?
