Oh cool, ty! I was wondering.

Yeah, honestly so much is lost with the shorter seasons. And wrt LD in particular, I get that filming 28 episodes a year was hell on the actors/production, but surely doing VA is less time consuming than live action acting?

Omg yes! That scene was so good. I feel like Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis would have enjoyed it most of all lol.

These episodes were both great. I have shipped Mariner/Ransom since s1 and, well, honestly, this new dynamic of theirs probably makes it even less likely than it ever was lol. But they were fun episodes. I do wish Lower Decks had more episodes, since they're only 20 min/ea.

Oh thank you, that makes sense.

I love this moment in LD, but also I am not sure when it was meant to have happened. Were Kirk and Spock friends prior to being officers on a capital ship? Or was it meant to be that they were invited to the other party but left because it was boring?

I really don't understand why they have to do this whole Chapel/Spock thing. :( I like T'Pring more.

Lol this is such an optimistic perspective. Thank you. :)

I feel bad about all the mean things I said in my own head about Paul Wesley as Kirk. I was deeply incorrect.

I really like both Keiko and Molly. Honestly I prefer many of the Keiko/Molly/O'Brien episodes to the standard "O'Brien must suffer".

I enjoyed the episode a lot, but I do agree about the product placement. It really was unnecessary and jarring.

I agree about Pelia! Also Iiiii think I must be bad at TV tropes because I did not see Kirk dying until the final second of him smiling at La'an after inviting the Romulan lady to find out if he was bluffing lol.
