If you’re a Paramount Plus subscriber, you can go watch Boimler of Lower Decks geek out over the cast of Strange New Worlds right now.

Everyone here saying they haven’t watched lower decks needs to just go watch lower decks.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

@Donebrach @Madison_rogue And they better hurry. You never know when Paramount might just arbitrarily decide to remove the ability to watch it.

Yo ho ho, mateys! Never let corpo greed hold you back! 🦜

@Piecemakers3Dprints The crossover ep isn't available in port yet. I'll drown my sorrows with grog until the morrow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for saving me the search 🤪🤘🏼

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

There's 4K versions up already on usenet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Well, as it happens Crave customers in Canada have only until July 31st.

After that, it will only be available on the CTV Sci-fi channel - at least until its new Canadian streaming home is officially announced.

And what of us who need more Lower Decks?! 😭💀

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

There is a Lower Decks comic series with the same art style. You could read those.

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I would have waited until Thursday to watch it if I hadn't seen this here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Not to be one of those people that yaps on about that aggregator site that makes money leaching off of content provided and moderated by users or anything, but this would be my first instance of hopping onto something posted to the Fediverse that was unexpected and awesome and so much fun!

I'd have dully waited until Thursday, too.

Definitely a treat! You're welcome!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This show was great, this season is amazing.

How important is it that I see Lower Decks first? I keep hearing good things about it, and I will get to it eventually, but I'm not familiar with it at all beyond the premise.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Haven’t seen it so I can’t say for sure, but I would at least watch a few episodes to get to know the characters. You may end up getting hooked and binging it, it’s a great show.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

@Fuzzy_Dunlop
It's more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you'd probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn't written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'd also like to know if there are specific Lower Decks episode(s) that should be watched first to fully appreciate the crossover.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Almost every anachronistic reference the Lower Decks characters make are references you'd catch from DS9, TNG, or Enterprise. You probably won't enjoy the campy silliness as much as fans of Lower Decks, but it's a great episode regardless of the crossover.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None. If you haven’t watched it it’ll make you watch it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have watched a chunk of the first season, but for some reason it didn't click for me. Which is weird because I love The Orville. Loving Strange New Worlds so I'm looking forward to this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It gets better, they were still finding their stride in the first season.

It was so hyped for so long. I was beginning to fear that it couldn't possibly live up to expectations.

I was pleasantly surprised.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What?!? Hell yes! Just about to start my weekend and the wife is out watching Oppenheimer. This season kinda started off sluggish with the opener, but every episode since has been solid

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed, it was so much fun!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This season has been great, but I have been hanging for this episode!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is one of the rare times that I wish we had Star Trek on Paramount+ in Canada.

I guess we’ll just have to wait until Thursday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (6 children)

FWIW, "this episode is live on Crave," someone noted at: https://startrek.website/post/460864

From someone who hasn't watched any Lower Decks - that was absolutely fantastic. Felt like great Trek mixed with the Orville :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Geez, go watch lower decks.

I'm locking this because it's turning into an episode discussion, and we already have one of those.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since it came out early, does that mean there will be no new episode this coming Thursday, or will the season end earlier than it was going to?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It appears that episode 8 will drop next week given Subspace Rhapsody, episode 9, is announced for August 3rd.

Which does make for an earlier end to the season m.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t suppose anyone knows how I can watch it in Japan without making like an Orion?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As this episode will remind you, it's rude to assume all Orions are pirates.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Some of them haven't been pirates for at least five years!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wholesome, fuzzy and (somewhat) plausible, Worf's Honor! :)

I loved that they drew the intro!
Kudos, kudos, kudos.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's awesome!
