I snapped a picture of that scene and sent it to a friend. He’s Mariner. I’m Boimler. ---

> [@Llama\_Llogophile](#): > > Just watched the first episode of season 3 and really liked it. I thought it was a decent episode, although I sometimes feel it’s kind of hokey to have one season end on a big cliffhanger and then resolve it in the very first episode of the next season. ---

I appreciated that they returned to the basic joke of the series, The Lower Deckers really have no idea what is going on with senior staff. Everything worked out despite their shenanigans. (I admit to tearing up a little at Magic Carpet Ride.) ---

Creator Mike McMahan explained in _The Ready Room_ that with so few episodes in a season they didn’t want to waste time getting the Captain back. ---

Everything worked out despite their shenanigans. Yes, complete with exposition about the extremely dramatic events that happened somewhere else entirely. And nice to hear Mr Cromwell again. ---

I lost my shit when I saw the “Thirst Contact” drink stand. And of course the statue, right where Geordi said it would be. ---

Today I learned that if a Klingon rips your arm off and beats you to death with it, it is not an honorable death because you have died by your own hand. I also learned that Martok has a sense of humor. ---

The season 3 premier is available on youtube (some ads (and some are skippable) but less than broadcast TV). Liked Bradward being oblivious to flirting, the theme park, and lots more. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzHJnvBVpro) Brian ---

Allright…i’ve been paying for CBS or Paramount plus or whatever this is on for a month now…you all have convinced me to watch. ---

Happy Star Trek Day to all. 56 years ago Star Trek premiered. Paramount+ is having some sort of special day for it. In honor of this I have added a new tag. [paramount-star-trek](https://boards.straightdope.com/tag/paramount-star-trek) ---

New episode of Lower Decks was fun. I feel like the storylines are improving and they’re keeping up the fun. 2 Cali-class ships working on an away mission together. What can go wrong. ---
