I have started yet another Lower Decks rewatch, currently on season 1, episode 4.

I think I’ll see about getting one of these next year. Probably not worth that much, but the novelty is pretty neat.

Are there ever any articles that aren’t disingenuous posted in this community?

This hits very close to home. I’m completely different around people I know well.

Greetings from Johnson County!

I have not yet read this one. Would you consider it a good read?

People have a bad habit of downvoting communities they see in the All feed, when they should either just block the community or scroll passed it.

Sorting by new for me brings up threads that are hours old, so it isn’t just you!

I don’t have an answer to your pronoun question, but hearing somebody else’s voice in the log jumped out at me as well. If it has happened before, it is pretty rare.

I wasn’t expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn’t see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his “powers”.

I’m not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn’t Wesley Crusher. I didn’t hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.

The Loom are terrifying. We’ve seen “getting erased completely from history” before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.

I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the “oops you aren’t supposed to know that” regarding the mycelial plane.

Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.

What a ride these two episodes were.

A few of my favorite moments:

• Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
• Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
• The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
• Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions

I do have a question though. I have been getting “these two people seem to want to get together vibes” in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode “Cracked Mirror”. Was this just wishful thinking on my part?

Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality… Those were the Enderprizians from “All the World’s a Stage”, right?

Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting “Living Witness”), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.

I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode “Shattered”.

I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.

I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I’m sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.

This is pretty cool and I’m encouraged that county leadership is already looking into ways to get it done.

This show was on every day after school on my local PBS channel. I watched it well into high school because I loved it so much. I love how it introduced you to a ton of different stories you may never have heard of otherwise.

No hard feelings! I just see it a lot in a serious manner and you know how well sarcasm carries over the internet.

I honestly understand why people would feel that way, too! The government here is pretty shitty and you always hear nothing but awful stories.

I contribute a bit and as far as I know the only editor that lets you upload pictures is MapComplete, but even then what you can upload them for is very limited. I do not believe OSM actually has an image database. The pictures I’ve uploaded are all stored on Imgur.

There are a lot of people here that aren’t able to leave. I generally don’t like when people trot out this line.
