I had never seen a drone before.
CNN is still doing amazing, independent coverage. Think about how much we will miss this if it is destroyed by the upcoming merger.

The episodes are bite-sized. But the visual gags and callbacks to things from previous series (ALL of its previous and contemporary series, BTW) mean that the number of jokes per minute approaches S1 and S2 of Community.
A SHITLOAD of jokes.
I just really love it. I hope you do, too!
Some rings + an old clay pot with mold growing in it

I’m not promising you’ll like Lower Decks. There are some Trekkers who strongly dislike it.
I will say, the episodes are short. Most are half an hour or less.
At least get through the second season before reaching any strong conclusions. “Wej Duj” may be one of the finest episodes of the series.
Actually, I think I should have said low-fill lighting. There’s a flare off Picard’s dome, isn’t there?
#TNGSunNight
It’s been days or weeks since he was released before we see him on the bridge again. Probably an extensive debriefing and recovery period, all elided by one cut.

Lower Decks is *by far* the best of the NuTrek series, IMO.
Did you have an objection?
#TNGSunNight
#LowerDecksSunNight
I can only agree.
Lower Decks is Peak NuTrek. I’m hardly the only one who thinks this.
If you are put off by the fact that it’s comedy—let me tell you, it did not have to be as good as it is to succeed. And it surpasses that low bar by a wide margin.
Don’t wait. Watch Lower Decks.
#TNGSunNight
Wait, wait wait.
Hold up.
You haven’t seen ANY of Lower Decks??
#TNGSunNight
#LowerDecksSunNight
It’s an interesting contrast between TOS and TNG how far the show goes to humiliate Picard, isn’t it?
#TNGSunNight
I must say, I’m surprised how many Jellico stans there are in the world. He is not a good character in my reasoned opinion, and I don’t think the show presents him as one, either.
#TNGSunNight
Something Captain Jellico forgot—if he ever knew it at all.
Glad Picard is back, and Jellico is on his way home.
Get that fish BACK in the ready room!

When sci-fi meets sci-fi.

I *strongly* disagree that Troi gets it.
#TNGSunNight
It just strikes me—we don’t really get to see Jellico and Worf interact.
I have a strong feeling they get along. 🙃 Because of course they do.
#TNGSunNight
LOL
#TNGSunNight
Why do I hate Jellico? Well, there’s the obvious authoritarian iron fist thing. But remember that Jellico has a second era in Star Trek, and, well…it doesn’t get any better for the man. 🙃
I am anti-Jellico and pro-Choo Choo Dance.

#LowerDecksSunNight
Jellico could never pull this off, everyone. All Jellico can do is bully Riker. (And everyone else under his command except Data)

CRUSHER HATES JELLICO
ALMOST AS MUCH AS I DO, EVERYONE
#TNGSunNight
All this to-do between Picard and Madred, it makes you wonder what the Cardassians did to Crusher and Worf. From DS9, one assumes that they come back to the Enterprise missing a tooth, each.
#TNGSunNight
PHEW.
Cardassian intelligence even knows about the liaison—even if only platonic—between Picard and Crusher. And they’re more than willing to use it.
Diabolical.
“Are you choosing to stay with me?”
#TNGSunNight
The low-key lighting continues in this episode.
It’s yet another step away from Gene Roddenberry’s strict vision.
#TNGSunNight
Jellico never has a single line that even comes close to this line of Picard’s.
Fight me.
#TNGSunNight
Does this analysis by Geordi indicate that the “wings” of a Cardassian ship are its nacelles?
#TNGSunNight
I AM WITH YOU, SPOT
#TNGSunNight
I would prefer Sciences Blue, and I can’t apologize for it.
HE’S THE SPOCK OF TNG
#TNGSunNight
I believe Madred’s daughter is the first Cardassian woman/girl we ever see. She’s missing the blue neck joint that Cardassian women tend to have.
#TNGSunNight
Do they ever show a Wompat on Trek again, I wonder?
