I say "alleged" because this has not been corroborated by any other sites that I've seen, but this site's track record is pretty good.

Excuse me, Twovix? This is going to be great

[–] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if it's just going to happen again or if it's gonna be like tuvok and neelix have a dirty little secret where they turn themselves into tuvix every once in a while. It'd be great if it just happened again but tuvix remembered everything from last time and just went nuts.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As long as Ethan Phillips and Tim Russ are involved, I'm on board. Boimler doesn't have a Neelix plate yet 😉

[–] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Lol oh snap I forgot about that. I hope they bring that up for consistency.

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Yes! I'm not even going to try to imagine how LD will handle a Tuvix situation, but I'm betting it will be good. If I had a list of things that would never be LD episodes, that episode title that's a play on the name of a Harlan Ellison short story, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream," would be on that list. Mr. Ellison's short story is the antithesis of humorous. But, LD continues to pleasantly surprise me.

Rolling with those are LD season 4 titles, oh, there's more Badgey. That he was still around was set up before, but this is a possible confirmation. I think Badgey and Peanut Hamper have the most out there performances. I'm both intrigued and appalled at the possibility of a new Badgey appearance. I can't tell from the titles, but I'm hoping for a William Boimler appearance in season 4.

They absolutely better have a William Boimler episode this season. I will be very disappointed if they don’t.

I’m hoping for a fun romp where William takes Brad along on a dark op. With Tendi. Cause her dark op sequence was just terrific. I love seeing that Orion pirate it up.

[–] Nmyownworld@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

I think Tendi is always great. The moment of her going full on Orion Pirate was absolutely wonderful. "That thing has a tooth remover?" "Shh. I'm pirating! Let's go!" (s3e6)

Fix-It Felix makes a great villain, doesn't he?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

I noticed while looking through an app that it was using the same names for scheduled episodes. Checked into it and it's pulling data from The TVDB. So they've got the same episode list now, for what it's worth, although I can't tell what their source is. Very well might just be that site.

Appreciate having @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website post this as mod, and confirming the source as usually reliable.

It’s been trending in Trek-related communities for a day or so.

These all sound intriguing, with the usual LDS potential for integrating and sending up any number of franchise tropes.

At first I thought Twovix could involve 2 vixens (in an Orion sense) or somehow some need to do the opposite of Janeway and remerge the 2 Boimlers, especially as the shot of William Boimler is an outstanding issue from last season.

But with LDS it could be anything and that’s one of its amazing qualities.
