I have started yet another Lower Decks rewatch, currently on season 1, episode 4.

Are there ever any articles that aren’t disingenuous posted in this community?

Sorting by new for me brings up threads that are hours old, so it isn't just you!

I wasn't expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn't see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his "powers".

What a ride these two episodes were.

A few of my favorite moments:

• Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
• Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
• The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
• Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions

I do have a question though. I have been getting "these two people seem to want to get together vibes" in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode "Cracked Mirror". Was this just wishful thinking on my part?

Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality... Those were the Enderprizians from "All the World's a Stage", right?

Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting "Living Witness"), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.

I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode "Shattered".

I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.

I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.

He might be, but he is having issues due to all the numb tongue!

I would begrudgingly accept a novel series like we got with Voyager post getting back to Earth. I know we are getting Star Fleet Academy, but I want this time in the universe to be greatly expanded on.

I have seen so many callbacks and connections in various Trek media thanks to Jörg Hillebrand's posts. I would highly recommend him as a follow on the Fediverse.

What a neat story.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was nice knowing that the scientists from the mirror universe were able to make it to Starfleet.

I am curious about the ISS Enterprise however. Does the problem that Georgiou had due to the drift between the two universes not effect the ship? Outside of wear and tear from sitting in that nebula, it looked fine.
