Thankfully there is only one more trekless Thursday until Lower Decks
That’s a great observation, thinking back on it that’s absolutely what it was like!
I never really thought about it but you’re right. It isn’t a federation station… it’s a Bajoran station the the federation are helping run.
Why doesn’t it have a Bajoran name?
I agree with most people here. Great episode as long as you kinda ignore the fact that only Chapel survived in the saucer section and neither her nor Spock made any attempt to look for anyone else or even acknowledge it.
Rest of the episode I loved and I’m now just a bit sad we are going have to wait so long for the next series.
That being said, I absolutely support the strikes so I’m not complaining about the wait.
So happy that we are getting these updates and bits of positive news.
I really want to be able to series 2 at least… but I wish it could continue properly, my little boys are too young for the show at the moment but I’d love to be able to watch it together and introduce them to Star Trek when they’re that little bit older.
That’s a fair point - Does that just encourage companies to cancel… get a burst of sales.. renew and repeat.
That being said - buying the thing you want to watch isn’t the same as buying all the merch.
Could also just cancel the streaming service (and buy or rent the individual shows that you want).
I’m sure as hell not subscribing to Paramount+ as “the home of trek” if it cancels or splinters the shows so isn’t the actual home of all trek.
Doesn’t hurt to be optimistic.
Also doesn’t hurt if we are all supporting this show both by being vocal online and (if people
can afford it) supporting with our wallets. Physical blu-ray (my preference after how much digital and streaming has messed us around) or digital sales.
I normally avoid trailers and clips but couldn’t resist this time.
I was grinning through the whole thing! So happy that it’s looking so likely that we’re going to get the second season.
Big thank you for posting this
What an absolutely fantastic episode. Loved every second of it! As soon as it finished I just wanted to watch the whole thing again (but couldn’t because of stupid work)
Good article, I just went and ordered the blu ray (although it needs to be imported to get here!)
Oh man that really sucks. I really enjoyed prodigy, it was doing something different (but good different!).
Had been looking forward to watching it with my son when he was sold enough… I really hope they find a new home so we get more than just one season.
Absolutely loved this episode! I don't think I have much to add to the discussion that hasn't already been said.. but yeah, loved it!

Spoiler Warning (of course)
I loved the first series of SNW. Thought it captured “proper trek” (if there is such a thing) easily my favourite of the new live action shows (by a long way).
I have high hopes for S2
Yep, I like this. There’s plenty of room for lots of Klingons styles… makes the Star Trek universal feel bigger
The big problem with the joke here is it’s totally the wrong moment. They’ve disobeyed orders and “stolen” the enterprise but haven’t actually gotten away yet… don’t just sit there messing around!
I’d normally agree with you but I don’t think they were trying to fool the audience in this case. It was more about shocking Spock’s emotional reaction.
Still, there’s better ways of showing that than the almost dying trope.

Nurse Chapel is in TOS - so there wasn’t really any risk that she was going to die here.
Really glad to find this place, looking forward to being part of the community,
Regarding donations though: Would you be able to share details on costs and how any Patreon money is spent?
There was Areel Shaw from S1 TOS - Court Martial
Just fresh in my mind as I watched that episode not too long ago (slowly making my way through TOS)
Enjoyed pretty much everything in this episode except the magic super steroids. The sequence went on for so long.. I assumed that I had forgotten something from last series because there’s no way they would have had this to hand the whole time and never thought to use it during any one of the many life and death emergencies?
That aside. Loved the rest of the episode and looking forward to where things go from here (plus really really happy to have weekly Trek again!)
