We probably get our best look at penal rehabilitation in Lower Decks' "A Few Badgeys More"

We learn that Daystrom Institute has a facility dedicated to evil robots, but through therapy, and exploration of art, sports, and other hobbies and psych-evaluations they may earn parole, and from there re-enter society.

Peanut Hamper made it to parole, initially as a ruse, but actually ended up taking it seriously.

Agimus is lagging behind her, but also shows signs of sincere reform.

Honestly, while a lot of it was played for laughs, I really appreciated how it really was Star Trek's optimism at its peak. People can be reformed, and are not sentenced to life in a cubical if they are capable of earning it.

Vaguely reminds me of “The Batman” Batmobile.

Also, why is the lighting poor in every shot?

Damn! It’s Aaron Waltke himself! Will do my part good sir! 🫡

The article implies the self driving feature may be a significant contributor.

Considering relatively few other brands have similar autonomous driving, and that autonomous driving technology is still very much in its infancy I'd wager just having a classification of accident currently unique to Tessla is enough to put it in the lead.

Covid vaccination is at an all time low since roll out, we have new strains, and everyone is back from sharing bugs with relatives at Thanksgiving.

Christmas is up soon.

While I’m personally not a fan of Khan, I’m glad this series is going to see the light of day. If this old Variety Article is to believed, it was originally going to be a full streaming series. And we’re almost on the cusp of Academy.

The handbook covers a lot of essential ground for new crewmembers ranging from the senior crew, the different divisions and shifts, tech, guide to other species, as well as different scenarios laid out by Badgey. What was your favorite part to tackle?

Chris Farnell: So many candidates here. Shaxs’ "W.O.R.F." method, the poolside rules for Cetacean Ops, and the (not entirely reliable) history of ships to bear the name "Cerritos." Like any sensible person given access to a starship, my first question was "What can I get away with?" and the answer was "A frightening amount”

I had already preordered this months ago. And I have less than no regrets.

Hmm… Lower Decks tends to deal as reverently to Trek stars as it does one time TNG minor characters.

For a minor character cameo… I think I’d like to see one of the TNG S1 chief engineers. I bet they have a story to tell about working on the Enterprise then.

For a major character cameo… how about Chakotay? I’d like to see the Protostar prior to its launch and tie forward instead of backwards.

Glad to see this show sprouting on another platform. Easily the most underrated Trek of the new era.

Po-tay-to

Po-tah-to?

It’s kinda odd in retrospect. There are many words to describe Romulans… but violent isn’t really amongst the top ten.

But the mystery ship is already built… implying they’ve had him for quite a while now. Why search for something they already have?
