So we saw that snw take place just 6 months (at least s01 EP 1) from end of disc (2258) season 1 has to be early 2259. And season 2 still takes place in 2259 (assuming near the end of 2259) basing each episode is 1-2 weeks apart so this means it's been 20- 40 weeks since EP 1.

We saw that Starfleet was still issuing the blue uniforms to personnel with even admiral cornwell wearing the blue uniforms with only the constitution class being issued the "new" tos style uniforms. Even then those uniforms look different than the uniforms we see In snw.

Then in snw we see Starfleet personnel mostly in snw/ tos style uniforms admiral April the crew of the uss peregrine (Sombra class) etc are also wearing the snw/ tos uniforms. So what happened to the blue uniforms they couldn't already be phased out entirely its not enough time. What do you think? (I'm just referring to in universe theories not real life explanation)

I just noticed that the pants have 2 stripes running along the sides of the pants. Looks different than the tos pants not bad or anything. Do you like the snw pant stripes?

I heard a snippet of this song on a recent episode of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me during one of the show's segments transitions, and my ears perked up because it sounded like the SNW song "I'm Ready." Similar? Yes, no, am I going crazy? 🤪

Just thought this was pretty neat all the ladies of trek with snw ladies animate kind of tas/retro Disney style. By artbykristele

#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'.

From TrekMovie:

Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers said during the panel that Darby is playing “a character that will be familiar yet completely new to folks that know Star Trek.” He added “If you know Star Trek, you will have a lot of fun with him and we had more fun than I could possibly imagine with him.”

So who (or what) could he be?

My fear? Q. Not John de Lancie's Q, obviously. But a different Q. I don't want that.

Please. Let me hear other theories to push that one out of my mind.

I wonder if it would be too much to hope for to see a continuation of the story thread from Discovery S2E3, New Eden. Pike explains to villager Jacob that the Earth did indeed survive WWIII after his people were wisked off planet by the Red Angel to a different quadrant in space. They part with those words about seeing each other again.

I am a huge sucker for Star Trek storylines that deal with first contact, especially those that have a character who feels out of place in their own world, hopeful for the magic of finding truths and the grand wonders of the universe.

Like the TNG S4E15 episode First Contact, where scientist Mirasta Yale requests to leave with Picard after it was decided her newly warp drive capable planet would not agree to revealing the larger universe to its populace. Her desire to be part of something grander shook me to my core when it first aired. I am still a little sad to this day that we never saw her again.

I still think about how sure Jacob was with his answer to Pike that they would see each other again, and how completely marvelous it would be to see that happen. To see Jacob be able to reconnect with humanity as a whole, to not be stuck in a basement fiddling with a power cell. I know he said that just knowing Earth was out there was enough for him, but it would be really satisfying to see that promise to meet again fulfilled. I've sadly given up hope for Mirasta Yale.

The horrors of this episode are so eternally relevant, the shock value of the ending was truly emotionally resonant, there wasn’t an attempt to present a fanciful solution and it didn’t undermine the idealism of Trek in order to do that, it harkened back to classic Trek in terms of presenting a morality play in a sci-fi context... Unbelievable that it was just the sixth episode of the first season.

How do you feel about this episode? Are there other episodes that have also grown in your estimation?

I am so surprised and disappointed in the Big E's security and defenses. Also from a numbers game, hundreds vs? And a super human's lack of competency.

How might SNW be if say Yeoman Colt, Jose Tyler, and Philip Boyce were involved in the show? I love it how it is, but it's an interesting thought.

Look, as Star Trek fans we are notorious for remembering that once 20 years ago a particular planet was mentioned as being a particular amount of light years from another one. Let’s also remember that Rebecca RomIJn’s name is NOT Rebecca RomJIn

I didn't notice until my latest rewatch, but I'm pretty sure La'an burns through sedatives faster than she should and that there's more to it than a high metabolism.

In S1E1, she chooses to be in pain rather than take a sedative in front of her new boss. In S1E3, when everyone is sedated due to the light virus, La'an wakes up and is aware enough to override the warp core.

Most people wake up from sedation and can't tell you what planet they're on. I once thought I'd eaten a fairy and they were coming for revenge. But she just pops right up like a zombie and overrides every safety precaution on the ship.

We know she carries some of Kahn's augmentations (S2E2, Neera says "...you carry your family's augmentations" and she doesn't bother to correct her. She just kind of nods.).

So what do we think? How augmented is she? How can she serve in Starfleet? I'm mostly wondering if there are any cool fan theories out there. Canon will answer the question eventually, or won't, and we can have fun speculating.

This thing sure looks scary.

How we go from this to the phaser rifle of tos....the starfleet engineering Corp must have really been running out of ideas lol
