    I'm more emotionally invested in Peanut Hamper's love life than I am in Picard's (and Jack the Ultimate Cyber Failson) entire life story at this point. :picard:

      I made a post somewhere else on a star trek shitpost group about peanut hamper being the one who took over the daystrom station where she was stored, freed the changelings and was behind the whole thing and it would have been fucking hilarious but also legit made more sense and would have more pathos. I guess there's a SNW/Lower Decks Crossover episode happening. From rumors we'll see it from 2 sides in the different series, I'm guessing it'll just be something kinda small for each that's kinda cute. An away team is offhand mentioned being caught in a time thing in a captains log of snw and then a lil appearance in lower decks would be cute. Let's not do a whole thing though.

        I am cautiously optimistic and positive about SNW but haven't seen it all.

        By contrast, Lower Decks got its coital hooks into me and I'm still waiting for more. :volcel-judge:

          SNW is just like...generally episodic with some arc stuff put into the episodes maybe with some ds9 style long buildup later but they're keeping it chill for now. It's just through and through really good star trike and Pike is already the captain I'd most want to serve under.

          Edit: and yeah, LD was a show I had so many doubts over and it's now my favorite thing. I want to be there and I think thats a big part of what new trek has been lacking. When you're watching star trek it should be a future you'd want to live in.

            Me too, especially for those special personal moments... like a replicated nacho cheese eating record breaking attempt. :sicko-pig:

              I watched the Voyager episode where Neelix almost destroyed the ship making cheese.

              I have loved that everyone is always eating bar food from the replicators. Medical science rules, I want the Mac n cheese with bread on the top too

            Especially with the current bunch of le epic stakes treadmill hack "auteurs" that can't help threatening the multiverse every season in every show with some variety of Mass Effect ripoff, I think that's for the best.

              And omg PIIIIIKE! Perfect Sisko/Picard combo with maybe a little of thsr casual vibe archer sometimes had when he wasn't being a dick to aliens. Just like, the kind of guy you'd be totally happy to have in charge. He's a kickers cook who does senior stuff meetings over homemade breakfast and cooks for the staff and invites everyone in the crew around for dinner in rotation (only so much space in his quarters) but just like, a really really nice dude who is collaborative, personable and sincere about it. He's the Hank Scorpio of Starfleet Captains

                  In the right ways. I get why stsrfleets highest medal.of honor is named after this dude. He foresaw his horrible untimely fate, grew a beard, fucked his gf he seese when they aren't both busy, rides a horse and then just kinda decides to spend the time he's got continuing to be a really nice dude. Pike made season 2 of disco good for a little bit even. That roll.call scene where he immediately got the names and did orders with it and just got to know the crew real quick but not weirdly, Anson Mount had this character from the start.

                    He's this era of Trek's strongest single personality.

              It's super refreshing to have a cool Sci fi idea solved by the end. And sometimes it's just like...space stuff that no one caused. It's very classico style
