I like my Quark version:

Seriously, though. Why do Quark and Doofenschmirtz give kind of the same vibes? I guess part of it is a Perry the Platypus dynamic with Odo.

Be seeing you. 👁️👌

And Prodigy (though after Lower Decks):

No. That was in TMP. To be fair, that’s two TOS movies where mysterious probe threatens the Federation.

Although Eureka has got to have one of the worst depictions I’ve ever seen.

Maybe from 2371-2378, while Tom Paris was busy being his Delta Quadrant counterpart.

Like, I don’t hate Tom Paris (at least late VOY, anyway), but you can’t deny that in combination with his early personality, that face just looks inherently punchable for some reason.

Unfortunately, he died after being shot midair by Libyans while falling off a cliff into molten drip.

You mean Kruge?

Reminds me of this classic:

It took a good minute for me to decode that acronym.

I guess I usually don’t acronym that film and just refer to it as VI or by its full name

It doesn’t seem unprecedented for crazy Vulcans to be in the Maquis. For instance, we had the Vulcan gun runner Sakonna in DS9.

Excuse me. I brought up the episode in Daystrom while going on a tangent about the various TNG era alternate futures, focused on the uniforms but also blabbering about how Klingon relations seem to break down quite quickly in any timeline without the Dominion War (further supported by the fact that VOY:”Endgame” has a timeline with the war where relations seem still amicable).

Yeh. This wasn’t meant to be a Wesley hate post by any means.

This was meant to be a based observation that while Wesley had less barriers to an officer position than Nog, both still earned their position.

I don’t know, but I do have to applaud how they did Data. First few scenes were enjoyable, and when it got annoying I felt it was purposeful.

Seriousy?! We can have a Klowahkans series but not a Klingons or Vulcans one?

“You will never attain the 24th level of awareness.”

I agree with you. Thinking on it, I wonder if that’s only a season 1 premise and they’ll eventually get beyond that.

Now what would make it really interesting (but they probably won’t do) is if this comedy had a backdrop of a weakened postwar Dominion a.k.a this resort planet is in the Gamma Quadrant. It would be very interesting to use it to explore the new power structures that develop in the quadrant since the weakened power of the Founders. You could also showcase how Alpha quadrant polities interact with Dominion worlds (kind of like what we saw with the Karemma in LD “Hear All, Trust Nothing”) - we have an episode with Federation diplomats at the resort negotiating a trade deal, for instance (this could even be our excuse to bring in an LD character or two).

Unfortunately, it’s not a Lower Decks continuation - I’m pretty sure that’s the Tawny Newsome comedy about “Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadrant."

However, the involvement of Tawny Newsome makes me hopeful it will be good at least. I guess it also opens us to LD cameos at the bare minimum kind of like how they found a way to shoehorn Riker into pretty much every Trek show (I guess even technically DSC and SNW, if you count directing and/or Boimler doing the chair thing).

Admittedly, it would also be fun if they had a neo-Miranda class (perhaps we could call it Terrell class) Cerritos, but despite a similar role, it’s not called the Cerritos A; it has an entirely new registry number because they somehow managed to forget about the original Cerritos.

I agree Kim was worth it. “Fissure Quest” is a wonderful episode that offsets a bit of the disappointment of the finale (which, while underwhelming, I would hardly call a bad episode). I certainly would love it to continue in some form.

I loved Malor, but am annoyed a bit what they did with Ma’ah in the end - how does this guy go from “Beckett is honorable” immediately after meeting her to near instantly distrusting her? They should have found a way to allow Boimler that moment without it being at Ma’ah’ expense.
