Vulcan as a Muthafucker!

Some folks have been saying that they find her lack of inclusion in the last 3 episodes really jarring, and 'bad writing'. I argue against that. (I really like T'Lyn, but then again I'm a sucker for the whole vulcan's accusing outwardly appearing stoic characters of 'losing composure' n being 'emotional' because of an eyebrow twitch. I find it highly comedic.)

There's been plenty to discern about T'Lyn this season:

Mariner goes out of her way to invite her and doesn't take T'Lyn's disinclination as a slight/insult suggesting this is a common occurrence.

T'Lyn doesn't drink, and doesn't seem to be a big fan of the perceived 'drink' culture on the Cerritos - which the season has estb the core4 participate in quite a bit - knowing this, its easy to extrapolate that she might avoid this as much as she could.

She's a great friend, who is encouraging/supportive.

From this, we can extrapolate that she's been around them enough off screen for them to listen to her and respect her opinion/ trust her judgement.

She listens and takes into consideration the feelings of those around her, putting friends before her career and potential advancement.

She respects Mariner's opinion enough/ trusts her judgement, to take comfort from her support even when Beckett might not be entirely in her right mind. (Vulcan as a Muthaf*cker) and we've been given insight into her insecurities.

She has a wicked sense of humor.

I genuinely believe that she's just messing with Tendi, when she said her hug quota for the day/week was reached.)

She's similar to Beckett, in the way she can be reckless/gungho n think she is always right w/o considering the consequences. (Turning everyone into a Tuvix meatball, n then finding out she messed up n she can't reverse it.) Like Beckett, shes a doer and takes a direct approach to problems, including nerve pinching anyone who becomes a problem.

She can more than appreciate a hunk of man meat. (Not speculating on her sexual preference, just pointing out her agreement with Mariner on Orion.)

She there's a chance that she likes chocolate -- occurring off screen -- showing it in a Vulcan way that Mariner has noticed. (S4E5 Mariner: I know you don't drink....there's going to be a chocolate fountain, if you want to get wild. T'Lyn: I do not understand what you mean, but thankyou for the invitation.)

She's sassy (i know its from season 3, but still)

She initially viewed her posting to the Cerritos as a punishment - nay i'd even go so far as to say a demotion.

I'd actually love them to expand on this and have her come to the realisation that its not a punishment, but rather a better fit for her, where she can grow, be appreciated, better fulfilled and dare i say happy? But we'll see if that's her arc.

I think that's an insane amount of character establishment squeezed into a handful of episodes.

I'm confident that we'll see more of her in the next two rollercoaster episodes, and she'll be instrumental, or why else include her in this season? Unless they really do intend for her to be just a foil for the warpcore 4?

AAAAAAHHHHH what a fantastic end to a fantastic season! it was such a treat seeing jaxa and wesley back! it's so cool to see this show pay homage to some of the OG lower deckers that inspired its creation, and to resolve their story in a heartbreaking but satisfying way. locarno allowed his life to spiral after one critical mistake made as a young man, transforming him from a promising officer into a desperate criminal who would hold the quadrant hostage. yet mariner would have saved him. and starfleet named a planet after him. everyone gets a second chance in the future, even if they don't take it.

the orions taking centre stage was fun to watch this season too! I love seeing the more lethal side of tendi, and the orion culture in general. it's so gratifying to see a race of aliens that was so hypersexualised in the original trek being reimagined as a matriarchy with a warrior mentality. it's so different from the sexism that has followed their every iteration for decades, even into the 2009 movie. but then to have tendi be both a badass and a scientist who embraces her own power and strength? 10/10 mike, no notes!

my only criticism is that I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the dynamic duo, boimler and mariner, having their own mission or arc this season. they're the heart and soul of the show, the kirk and spock heirs apparent, and their banter is so integral to the identity of the show for me. I missed not seeing it so much. [fave moments of my faves: acting captain bradward was so fcking cool, plus mariner staying loyal not to starfleet - but the ideals that birthed it!]

there was a lot of fantastic full-group bonding though, with that super cute caves episode showing the entire gang flashing back to the good times they've had all together. and with a cuddle pile, my weakness 🥺

another banger from the best star trek showrunner ever, and I mean that, kiss my ass rick berman

LOW-ER DECKS! LOW-ER DECKS! LOW-ER DECKS!

I really appreciate that Lower Decks takes the music seriously. Even though it's an animated series, the music is as beautifully composed and orchestrated as any other series. The main theme is evocative of The Next Generation theme, which makes sense since it's a TNG spinoff, but it's not derivative. And there are leitmotifs that make frequent appearances (triumphal theme, tendi's orion theme). They don't skimp and it makes me so happy.

I would kill for someone who actually knows what they're talking about to analyze this. Music theory side of tumblr? You guys got any Lower Deckers?

Mike McMahan wants Lower Decks back just as much as us! Why not help this become a reality?

The fight to save the show is only starting!

Boimler boi

It’s the Boimler boi from “Star Trek: Lower Decks”!

How about this version of Boimler? Huh?😉✨

I started to watch season 3 recently, it’s very enjoyable like always! I think I’ll rewatch Lower Decks when I finally watch all the ST series and episodes, there are so many easter eggs related to old ST series, but I can’t recognize them all right now, what a shame😩

Any of my mutuals watch Lower Decks too?

“And you wonder why I like her so much!”

She’s Smart, Fun, A Kindhearted Soul plus she’s BADASS! 😍😍🤘

Rewatching Lower Decks from the beginning again (it's one of my comfort shows), and in Much Ado About Boimler, the people going to The Farm absolutely blow Boimler out the airlock. They didn't know they'd landed, that the airlock didn't lead to the airless vacuum of space. We're not going to deal with the fact that that guy not only tried to mutiny, he also tried to commit murder? That's weird, right?

🚨 ATTENTION ALL TREKKIES! 🚨

Lower Decks needs your help!

After the unjustified cancellation of Lower Decks many people are outraged, even some of the cast and crew want the show back.

So what can we do to try and save Lower Decks? And it turns out quite a lot actually.

1. Write a letter - there have been some letter writing but if you write at the least one letter you’re already helping. Of course the more letters you write the better. DO NOT be rude or threatening otherwise this won’t be taken seriously and will be disregarded, be polite and formal. Here are a few mail addresses:

Jeff Grossman

Director of Programming

CBS Interactive US

235 Second Street

San Francisco, CA 94105

Tom Ryan

President & CEO Streaming Paramount Global

1515 Broadway

New York NY 10036

Brian Robbins

Paramount+

1515 Broadway

New York

NY 10036

USA

2. Sign a petition - this one might not be as effective as letter writing but it can definitely let paramount see how many people signed and how much people want it back.

3. Rewatch the show and encourage others to do the same - this will help paramount see how many people still want to watch and see more and want more. Or you could go the opposite way and cancel your subscription to Paramount+ and putting Lower Decks as the reason

4. Buy merchandise - this will help paramount know that people still want to invest in the show.

5. Buy the new season 4 Blu-ray Disc - this will help paramount see that season 4 was good and the series should be renewed for more seasons.

6. And last but not least, spread the word anyway you can. If you don’t do any of these things at the very least tell others. We can save Lower Decks but only if we work together
