sh9000 Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 I've enjoyed 6 out of 6 episodes of season 2 so far. Can't wait for episode 7. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Episode 7 will be streaming today on Paramount+ at 4 PM PST. Episode 9 promo. Edited July 23, 2023 by sh9000 Quote
azrael Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Ep 7 "Those Old Scientists" dropped early. SSDC folks got to watch it at the convention. It was hilarious. 🤣 Spoiler Mental warning: Consumption of Orion Delaq may cause psychedelic and hallucinogenic side effects. Caution is advised. Drink responsibly. Effects may be compounded with other alcoholic beverages. Also Spoiler Gotta live the fanboying & fangirling Pike's command crew did with Archer's crew and ship the way the Lower Decks cast does. Ah the parallels and the memories. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Excellent episode 7! Great interview. Episode 8 looks like it's going to be good. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Looking forward to the musical episode... it kind of reminds me of an old novel from the TOS era How Much for Just The Planet?. Of course, that story had the planet of the week putting on impromptu musical numbers just to mess with the visiting Federation and Klingon delegations. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Been watching SNW, and immensely enjoying it, but this latest episode with the LD crew dropping in was great. Boimler will be Boimler and the shit they cause was funny as hell. They were definitely an influence on the SNW crew. Quote
Dobber Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Loved the Lower Decks episode but I am dreading the musical episode. I have yet to see ANY regular show that did the “musical” episode well for me. It’s always so out of place and I end up avoiding/skipping said episodes on rewatches. Chris Quote
Tking22 Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 CW's The Flash did it right, Music Meister just makes that happen, they should've cast NPH but oh well. I'm really looking forward to the musical episode, it looks like a ton of fun! Quote
sh9000 Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Episode 9 was good. Looks like episode 10 is going to round out a very good season 2. Quote
Thom Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Leave'm wanting more! Already up to 10 and I am sad. Five more episodes per season, just five more! Anyway, I watched 'Under the Cloak...' and 'Rhapsody' as a double feature, and really enjoyed both ends of the dramatic/whimsical spectrum that was displayed. This crew really can handle it all! Seeing the musical numbers was like watching one of those movies from the 30s and 40s, and I really liked the explanation for it. I also liked how the Klingons felt dishonored by singing their feelings. Thinking about it, I'm surprised they were able to function without killing each other! Then 'Under the Cloak...' That was a good one! And very ambiguous at the end as to What the Heck Happened?! Did Mbanga murder him? Did Chapel lie about what she saw and didn't see? They certainly lied about who owned that knife! Definite total gray-going-on-black area. Not to say that the guy didn't deserve it, but there had been better ways up until that point to handle the situation, but there was clearly a lot of stress and PTSD going on. What a way to leave it too. Now, I just need more of those types of episodes rather than too many fun ones. They did teas in the premier that there was growing tension with the Gorn, but then there was nothing else, which is a shame. Edited August 4, 2023 by Thom Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 I watched the musical episode and I couldn't take it seriously. It was dreadful. Quote

Lolicon Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 Didn't care much for the musical episode as I'm really not into musicals. The season finale more than made up for it though! Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 You know, after all that weird hype around the Roddenberry Archive, and those "765874" clips, I'm really hoping that they introduce Yeoman Colt in this series. I was thinking it would be fun to see them translate some of the comics with her alternate future trip into a several episode arc, but they would have to adjust the timeline quite a bit, since she'd already left the crew, and was well on the way to getting her own command by this point. If they're following the original events leading up to Pike's accident, they've got seven years in-universe before that's supposed to occur, based on what I'm reading, but I don't know how closely they're sticking to that, if at all.

Roy Focker Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 Minor spoiler from the season finale. At the very start of the episode: "We're visiting a settlement where the settlers have built a community recreating a town from the 20th century American Midwest." This reminds of the original series. Building locations set in the future is expense. Let's write an episode that uses an old set from another movie. Quote

VFX is expensive with CGI Gorn. 😁 Quote

sh9000 Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Excellent season finale. I'll be sure to get season 2 on blu-ray. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Season 2 on DVD and Blu-ray is now available to preorder. Quote
wm cheng Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Here was some of my design contributions to this great series! (they didn't use my Klingon BoP for the J'Gal episode due to budget 😭) Quote
Thom Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Some great art work! The Kelcie Mae is a beautiful oddball! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Was the decision to have a Crossfield/Discovery-esque saucer-look an idea from higher-up, or were you guys given fairly free-rein? (it was mentioned in dialogue, so I wondered which was first) Quote

(it was mentioned in dialogue, so I wondered which was first) It was scripted to begin with (mostly because we could shoot in the Discovery sets so it made sense to have the saucer from Crossfield class) - other than the saucer, we were pretty much given free range as long as it didn't visually look too much like the Enterprise as you want to instantly distinguish between the two during the fight in the rings (my first version had the nacelles up and the dish below the saucer but it looked too smiliar to the Constitution at first glance).

azrael Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 I like that the "Crossfield" was a kit-bash. It does fit with the story. The TMP-era Bird-of-Prey...interesting choice. Quote
