Well God knows I could do with some cheering up right now so it's time for this week's Lower Decks and a hot chocolate. With marshmellows. And a dash of Baileys.

Yay it's Ma'ah and they're showing Qo'noS! I see he's from a farming family like Boimler. Very Targ. Fresh Ghagh!
Is this scene a riff on Picard's retirement at his vinyard?

Klingon accordion!

Aww, he got demoted... Is that whatsername from his old ship, Korin?

Oh God Boims baby tache is even worse. Guess he's in his Klingon fanboy arc.
"Oh yeah we get fed to a bear."

Ooh more of Migleymo's people! Klowakahs are Food-jerks.

"EXPERIENCE BIIJ!"
"No, YOU experience Biij!"
[Gowron intensifies]

I'm really loving the in-depth Klingon exploration in this episode. The visuals all look so good and the attention to detail is a delight.

EDIT: I missed the Klingon Honor Guard uniform from #StarTrekOnline the first time! It's a great looking armour outfit (I have a Klingon swanning about in iit).

Alien blobfish :o

MEGATARG!

The little bow ties on Tendi and Rutherford are a nice gag.
Something fishy about those Klowakhans.

Epic Klingon duel time. It's mandatory y'see.

Aaaand there's this week's interdimensional portal. Artificially-created, you say?

They were tasteless, those Klowakhans.

I suppose now Ma'ah has to work his way back up to commanding a proper ship. The demotion is the start of a character growth arc. Maybe that's it for him this season (and series...). I like Mariner's Klingon-linked past being relevant to her diplomacy and growth.

I can't believe this series is ending. I know it's not the end of the stories for the characters, but still - I wanted a Season 6 and on.
Sigh.
Anyway, I'm going to watch ep1 right now and save ep2 for tomorrow or the weekend.

So, let's see what we have for our final season opener:-

Oh it's one of those trader guys from The Most Toys... hrm the woman looks vaguely familiar.
Oh, that's because it's Tendi in disguise. Go Go Mistress of the Winter Constellations!

GIANT GREEN HAND! V'Ger?! Tholian webs (maybe)!

The Cerritos animations are looking lovely as always. T'Lynn is in this one \o/

Aww, Rutherford isn't doing well. Someone give him a hug, stat!

"Boo, interdimensional portals!"

Oooh pretty TMP effects. It's the parallel universe episode teased in the trailer! How handy that the uniforms are slightly different shades to tell them apart.

A rogue archaeologist playing both sides? I wonder if it's our old friend Petra...

King Billups 😵 And Rikerified Boimler! Otherford seems to have lost his personhood.

Green Or-eye-on queens versus the Blue Or-ee-on patriarchy! Some nice TAS-callback development of the Orions. Wonder if we'll see the orange bunch at some point?

Eeeevil Becky Freeman and her riding crop. Authoritarianism doesn't suit her.

The Ransom pair arguing whilst complimenting each other is a good gag. Carol Freeman ending up at Starbase 80 is both a relief as it seemed like she might have died, but also a big oof because STARBASE 80 YIKES.

Did Rutherford ask Otherford if he was OK with being reprogrammed? Otherford trusted his prime counterpart enough not to flinch when Rutherford began messing with his implants. Not sure if I missed something here.

That Orion medical ship is pretty nifty looking. Wonder if it'll be added to STO?

Heh, other Boimler's PADD (swiped by Prime Boims) has a magazine cover with "The Boimler Effect" on it. Geeky #StarTrekOnline moment: that's the name of a widely-used Trait in the game that was added in after LD Season 1.

Orion civil war arc!

Aaand that's it for ep1.
