No Trek series is complete without a character who would hide knives in the walls and swords in the ceiling.

TOS: Sulu and Chekov 100% have swords stashed in the walls somewhere

TNG: At some point some poor Ensign opened up some paneling to do repairs only for a dozen knives to fall out all labeled "TASHAS DO NOT TOUCH"

DS9: Both Kira and Garak definitely have hidden weapons all over the station.

VOY: Tuvok says it's for easy access in case of emergency.

ENT: Malcolm has so many guns and knives squirrelled away in strategic locations that it could arm everyone twice over. Some poor Ensign tries to take over his station while he's in sick bay for a cold and nearly gets their fingers sliced off by his Workstation Tape Shurikens.

DISCO: Mirror Georgiou has definitely hidden axes and swords and daggers everywhere in her room in case of assassination.

LOW: Mariner canonically does this on the regular

Lower Decks!!! “Lower Decks” is an all-time fave TNG episode and I could NOT be happier about how someone said “okay but what if we did that but it was Futurama” and then they MADE IT INTO A REAL SHOW.

First takes on my new loves:

  • The USS Cerritos: You always wondered where the people who graduated at the bottom of their academy class ended up and Now You Know
  • Mariner: One-woman PARTY BUS meme
  • Boimler: Hecka Eager Cadet Nog in that episode where he can’t stop bitching about Jake leaving his clothes everywhere, but with the intelligence of one Philip J. Fry.
  • Rutherford: I’ll see your half-Vulcan and your human raised by a Vulcan, and I’ll give you a human with a Vulcan bluetooth headset!
  • TENDI: MY LOVE. MY HEART. THIS SWEET BABY ORION CHERUB.
  • Dr. T’Ana: “Let Pulaski Say Fuck”
  • The first officer is like… you know how sometimes the only way to express a thought is in the style of an SAT question? Ransom is to Riker as Pop Culture Jim Kirk is to Actual Jim Kirk.
  • Captain Freeman: I am HERE for all the Freeman-Mariner Family Nonsense
  • Cute Spotted Ensign whose name I didn’t catch and I’m NOT going back and watching zombies a second time: I love her please bring her back immediately as the girl that every single one of them tries to date and it’s always a disaster.

Other thoughts:

  • I strongly DID NOT love the a-plot because i am BIG SCARED of zombies (it is always the first on my list of blocked tags FYI PLEASE TAG YOUR ZOMBIES), and I’m still shaking an hour later,
  • but I love one (1) crew entirely comprised of fuck-ups so much that I watched whole minutes of zombies for them and that is LOVE.
  • From the font and the holodeck design I think we’re meant to assume this is happening concurrent with TNG, and I’d like to pretend that there were multiple times when the Cerritos and the Enterprise were docked at the same station for repairs and the Enterprise crew just collectively has a moment of Oh No Not These Fucks Again.
  • “I was once in a Klingon prison where i had to fight a Yeti for my own shoes for no reason! He was just being a dick!”
  • “Do you know about Spock? Dude came back FROM THE DEAD.”
  • PLEASE let them revisit some of the weirdest planets from The Animated Series.
  • The best part about Lower Decks is that people are going to make fanart and we’ll have no way of knowing whether or not it’s a spoiler image from a future episode or not.
  • In short I love this and need more episodes ASAP so I don’t need to watch zombies again to get my fix.

Freeman and Mariner | STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS

[Image Description: Two gifs of an interaction between Ensign Mariner and Captain Freeman in Star Trek: Lower Decks. Mariner walks backward out of the room, making a backward Vulcan salute with her hands, and the dialogue goes as follows:

Mariner: Well, live long and prosper.

Freeman: Don’t you give me that sarcastic Vulcan salute!]

random lower decks thoughts:

i love that lower decks just straight up used the tng credits font for the credits and stuff

THEY ACTUALLY MENTIONED CETACEAN OPS wonder if we’ll ever actually see it.

“computer load program ‘all nude olympic training facility’ ” “wow this is a really detailed program”

a lot of people are saying “for something that’s supposed to be a comedy it’s just not funny” and idk what their idea of comedy is but a malfunctioning replicator throwing scalding hot bananas at people is hilarious [banana, hot] [banana, hot] [banana, hot]
