#r/LowerDecks ...

... your home for discussion on the animated comedy as it begins its final season on Thursday, Oct. 24!

With nods to every corner of the franchise -- the more obscure, the better -- Star Trek: Lower Decks has wormed its way into fans' hearts just like Ceti eels worm their way into ears. Yes, there is consternation that Paramount+ is ending the show while it's still going strong, but there are ten more episodes of churro-flavored goodness to enjoy. May your bananas remain hot and may the Cerritos keep on trekkin'.

Other active subs in our network:

r/StrangeNewWorlds (third season coming in 2025)

r/TrekAcademy (for the upcoming Starfleet Academy series)

r/StarTrekS31 (for the upcoming Michelle Yeoh movie)

I know a lot of people didn't like how the Androids became so people like and that there is a Android God creature that helps out Robots who need it when Mankind and Life kind treat them like the devil.

But with Data dying but coming back for his send off, The Vulcans that praised the Obolisk and seen it as a warning because of the last time that Artificial Intelligence was abused by Biological life. Them being defeated, I still see them as a way for Androids and Artificial Intelligence to contact old other universe peoples Defenders and open up travel with them for A.I that want to leave. For people also that are wanting to leave too that like Picard are Biological but Artificial Intelligence, Android Picard.

Then with The Borg and The Dominion. The Borg were out there and wanting to wipe everything out but it happens, I believe that they just want their collective back because Janeway hit them incredibly hard.

The Dominion and the virus fallout. They became locked in bodies from a virus that would stabilize their nerves the more they focused and once there the pain and inability to just be made it worse. Then they started becoming bodies more later on in Picard. Because the virus was causing them to start to Cartilage them and nerve them and they would have to take shapes that allowed them to still move easier since weird mutations.

The Cure for them and the Borg. It's Taking the Changelings and dissolving them back without Pain Killers or pleasure enhanceers so they can still hive link. They can be Done through since the Changelings would be going backwards to Liquidity state of Gel. The Virus would dissolve their Cartilage and because Changlings in worse state would have bones and more. The virus would have to dissolve them to a gel mass of nerves that's self contained like before just gel and the person.

The pain from being separated so long and then in pain from the cure, treatment they wouldn't be able to link right because of the emotional states both and more would be in. But dissolving a human down to the nerves and brain only and then them going around it and a second virus to dissolve the brain and nerves as the changelings feed on them kinda like trils do.

They'd be able to relink as the changelings would have their bodies fixed and the Donation neurology broken down and become normal part of the changelings it would be like if Section 31 helped them and they studies each others biology and seen that Humanity and them like others in the universe aren't that different. We came from one that seeded the cosmos.

The Borg could broker a Peace Treaty between The Dominion and the Federation and also Stop their Time war. The Dominion able to be saved without wiping out earth. The Borg and Omega, And perfection and The Federation. I believe that the Borg and their time travel efforts with Earth over so many Hundreds to Thousands of years and Earths with their Time wars and them.

The Borg could and would probably come to Help people kinda like Terminator A.Is that became normalized and would use them to find and perfect Omega Particles with how they stabilize and areas of no warp space to see them easier and use Transwarp Containment to Harvest Omega Particles Seven of Nine and her seeing them would help more than I could. But Honeycomb stuff to contain them. And The Artificial Intelligence from the Obolisk they'd probably destroy each other. The Orion Syndicate and Peace with them. I believe that they would be brought into the Federation and it allowed for them to have child slavery like they pick a kid and raise them a slave to be sold.

Why? Because the federation finds ways to invite and work with any culture of peoples. Like the Borg Queen wanting a Person who is hers wholey and only. And just hers. The Borg Locate one through their networks and either make a Deal with the Federation for them or steal them through idk Transwarp Containment stuff. nano bots in space! We're all Borg. We just don't know it yet. Part of the Deal being the Federation forced to Bow to the Queen and her consorts request,s. That being she takes them and forces the federation to Perfection of their own Charter by Defending such a Stark Cultural Species difference and allow from them one thing that would be the straw breaking the camels back and the only thing I can think of from Discovery that stops total Galactic Peace. Because With the Borg anything is possible if the Q don't do it.

Borg bring peace with Love, Q with Snaps.

#On July 1, all 20 episodes of STAR TREK: PRODIGY season two will drop on Netflix!

Join us in r/StarTrekProdigy for any and all discussion surrounding this acclaimed animated series! It's the continuation of Star Trek: Voyager in many ways, thanks to the presence of Admiral Janeway, Captain Chakotay, and other legacy characters. A perfect vehicle to get your kids interested in Trek and a way for adult fans to rediscover their love for what makes the franchise the endearing, inspirational behemoth that it is.

Of course, because all twenty episodes are dropping at the same time, there will be spoilers posted in that sub. Our rules there are the same as elsewhere in the DISCO Network, but if you want to stay spoiler-free until you have a chance to watch it all, please unsubscribe for a bit and then rejoin when you're able.

###July 1 (3 AM ET/12 AM PT), Prodigy is on Netflix! Join us!

PS: And while we're at it, there are other subs in our network you may enjoy if you like it here:

• r/StrangeNewWorlds (season three coming soon)
• r/LowerDecks (final season coming soon)
• r/StarTrekS31 (for the upcoming Michelle Yeoh movie)

Maybe I'm just being dense but this line by the Queen never made sense to me ("the vindication of both our species - to take back from those who live like shattered glass)" and then it occurred to me: what if the experiments done on the individual changelings meant they were unable to link.

The Borg and the changelings are very similar: though separate, they exist as one. To take the Queen's metaphor, they exist as a solid pane of glass, whereas humanity lives like shattered glass: the same but individual fragments.

What if the Queen were promising a way for Vadic and co to be able to link once again? Essentially that would mean both the Borg and the changelings were on the same journey: each seeking the restoration of their collective which Starfleet had taken from both of them.

Just a thought.

I have rewatched Picard now for the 5th time. Amazingly done! All of it! But the care that was taken to give us some of that old school magic …would have it hurt to keep Markel’s voice as the computer voice ? Also the ENT F… really man ? I’m sure this rant has been ranted many times but just felt I needed to get it off my chest!

The last episode…SO SO WELL DONE !

Initially when we are introduced to the USS Titan-A bridge crew there is a glaring omission of the Chief Ops officer. But thinking about it more it’s pretty clear that Ens. Esmar is doing all the Ops related functions. So why brand her as the Communications officer?

In late 24th century Starfleet ships Comms was usually a tactical function, which never really felt right to me. Makes more sense for Ops to handle Comms also.

The Ship:

The classic ship we all know and love, made into a super cute Lego model that makes the perfect desk companion. For this size this is simply the most accurate model out there that I could see and it is VERY swooshable!

The saucer section is faithfully reproduced including impulse engines, while the warp nacelles elegantly extend from the engineering hull. Notably, this model also highlights the saucer separation feature, a awesome capability of the Enterprise-D allowing for swift tactical manoeuvres and emergency situations.

Microfig Crew:

Now, onto the crew of the Enterprise-D, portrayed as block-built microfigs. From left to right, we have:

• Doctor Beverly Crusher • Wesley Crusher • Lieutenant Worf, Son of Mogh, House of Martok, Son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane of the Duras Family, Slayer of Gowron • Counsellor Deanna Troi • Captain Jean-Luc Picard • Commander William Riker • Lieutenant Commander Data • Lieutenant Geordi La Forge • Special Guest: Guinan

EXTRA!

I've also included a few extra pieces in order to build a hidden character from season 1. This is not documented in the instructions. Clue: they have a skin, and it's rather evil... If you figure it out, post pictures in the comments to see if you're right!
