Fun fact about Max Grodénchik. In DS9 7x04 when they all play baseball, Rom has to play badly. But Max was at one point semi professional, and was so good he was incapable of batting badly. So despite being right-handed, he had to bat left-handed in order to look bad. And in this ep when Rom talked about batting cages and mimes a swing with his staff, he swings right-handed, implying that Rom was better then he knew back then, he was just swinging with the wrong handedness

Gene Rodddenberry imagined the Ferengi as generously endowed (never mentioned in series because "Gene, it's a family show.") - the later writers relocated their erogenous zones - for those who know, the commercial is hilarious.

Regarding Mariner: don't forget the season 1 episode where her academy friend, Captain Ramsey, stopped by and mentioned that the whole class thought Mariner would be the first to get to captain. She's always been an extremely competent officer. But whether it's deliberate (like that episode) or unconscious (like the Moopsy episode), she's very self-sabotaging. Something must have changed, but what?

Not many times on Ferenginar, i think 3 times max and in DS9 mostly. It's very rare and it was very limited what we saw and that is the fun of a serie like Lower Decks, you can now have the advantage of having it in his full glory ! Also god do i love that Rom, as a leader has made the Ferengi Alliance less predatory and more friendly business like...Long terms profit in it, it was a good sale i guess with the rule of acquisitions. Love that ending !

Carol has become a much more able captain this season- maybe she learned to let go of some of her insecurity after last season's disaster? Her recent actions have definitely earned her promotion to a capital ship (then Ransom can become a captain and the Lower Deckers can get promoted to senior bridge officers- at least I hope).

I know most of the times I comment I am raving about Tendi, but today I think I am going to talk about Mariner. I know when the season first ran, some review channels didn't like Mariner's arc this season because they felt she was backsliding "for no reason". If that was really true though, the writers would never have put a character like Quimp in place to point out that she seemed to be rebelling against nothing and say that it was out of character for her. You have had great insights into the characters on your first time watching and I can't wait to see your reactions to remaining episodes.

Plot A: Nicely show us glimpse of how Mariner acts and feels outside of Cerritos crew. It is refreshing, because it shows her venerable as never before. In particular, her felt of guilt of surviving devastating Dominion War. She was not a child by any means, but she was not ready for such painful experience either. Plot B: Gaslighting fans who shipping Rutherford and Tendi, but quite good and without implications of how “inappropriate” this is. Showrunners and studio know what is up among fans and decided to gave something for speculations and lightly teasing audience. Plot C: Simple, yet entertaining example how people of 24th century (or at least Boimler) should definitely stay away from capitalistic societies with market economies and strong culture ties to profit. Also, our man Bradward surely needs a vacation. At least for weekend. Plot D: Great example how much captain Freeman actually grown as competent officer, who is not afraid to step her foot when it necessary. Especially when it comes to negotiations with not trustworthy people.

In Season 1 it sometimes seemed like the senior officers, especially Ransom and Captain Freeman, were kind of terrible. I really like this episode because it highlights just how competent both of them are, and that they're both good officers and people.

You should see The First Duty episode of TNG and also Lower Decks episode of TNG... It would help you understand the rest of the season so much better. Especially if you are interesten in the story of Beckett Mariner. You can watch LD without any star trek experience, but here we have very important continuity. It will hit in very different way if you know.

This to me is the minimum. I know the show won't end forever, but I want them to be able to craft a satisfying conclusion, and (I hope I'm wrong) I'm worried we may not get that now, because they'd already made some or all of season five when the announcement came, so probably weren't expecting it to end.

Did the SNW crossover reaction early release get blocked? I’ve been so excited to see that one! Thought it was supposed to have been out by now, but maybe I misread. Also, if you haven’t seen ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ yet, you should 100% do reactions to its first season during the LD hiatus; one of the best Treks of the modern era, and certainly an even more earnest love letter to Trekkies than even LD. Always look forward to Mondays thanks to this channel; LLAP!🖖

During the restaraunt scene, there is a (conveniently censored) naked Ferengi woman sitting at a table in the background. Until late in DS9, Ferengi women were forbidden from earning profit, speaking to non family, leaving the house, or even wearing clothes, which all changed late in DS9. So while Ferengi women can do all that including wearing clothes, it seems they don't *have* to wear clothes!

I’m gonna have to skip this one. This episode is not fun for me, as it gleefully steps right up to the line of callously throwing away the possibility of aromantic asexual Tendi. It makes what was previously an easily viable interpretation of her character into one that seems like a stretch, simply by having her suddenly act completely differently out of nowhere. I do ship Tendi and Rutherford, but as a queerplatonic relationship.
