Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x10 - "Old Friends, New Planets"

[Commander Richard]

"The last couple of episodes for this season are a big swing and I am really proud of them and I cannot wait for you to see them. We held them off [from the press] because I don’t even want a breath of what happens in them to get out. And it just feels like the ultimate Star Trek, the ultimate Lower Decks." - Mike McMahan

Let's see if some of those fan theories come to pass. Any direct tie-ins or developments involving "The First Duty" and "Lower Decks" would truly make this two-parter the ultimate Lower Decks.

We got a compelling set-up. Now for the follow-through.

I’m not ready for the season to be over.

This has been a great season for Lower Decks and I will be sad when it ends. I'm actually a little surprised we still don't know what the title is. This episode is making me anxious.

I Second This Emotion.

 

[NCC-73515]

Old friends, new planets

 

[tomalak301]

Of course they won’t post this episode early. It’s probably the most anticipated episode of the season.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Off to watch the ep =D

 

[Aragorn]

If they want a really deep cut, Locarno should be working for a character voiced by Genevieve Bujold.

 

[NCC-73515]

Nick and Nicole

 

[Markonian]

Imagine Paris and Locarno getting tuvixed and becoming… Geneva.

(Bridge should be further left)

Josh, the guy who was killed, seen on the right for the first time!

 

[gweeps]

Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!

:\

 

[NCC-73515]

I've been there

 

[NCC-73515]

Our first glimpse at...

...a Steamy bridge

 

[gweeps]

Robert Duncan McNeill must have had a blast.

 

[NCC-73515]

Mutara action!

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Holy crap, the Trynar

Spoiler: Trynar Shields that cover a ENTIRE Friggin Star System!!!

That is literally game changing tech, the fact that the Binars have that level of Shield technology is crazy, imagine the power requirements needed to cover the surface area of a Star System's outter borders with Shields.

#_#

Also, throwing massive objects at shields seems to really work, laws of physics & Kinetic Energy and all that.

Throwing a freaking BattleShip at a Trynar Star-System wide Shield that normal StarShips can't punch through
=D

TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN!
I loved this episode SO MUCH! It had everything! Mariner's really starting to mature now.
And Locarno finally, finally got what he so richly deserved.
And Boimler was an acting captain with T'Lyn as his Number One.
Also more T'Lyn, and you know how much I love her. Word of god has it that she's going to be even more prominent next season. Gabrielle Ruiz as a regular, anyone?
I am also quite sure that Tendi's storyline is going to be quite interesting.

I want Boimler x T'Lyn as a couple.

The California yacht is very similar to the Sovereign one
