Kev & Rob approach the impenetrable barrier that is the end of Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season Four, "Old Friends, New Planets”, and talk about other barriers in space, including "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (TOS), "The Tholian Web" (TOS), "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG), and "The Galactic Barrier" (DIS). Stay after the credits for a brief debrief on "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier".

Jeffrey Combs better known as Weyoun, Brunt, Shran and many others - how do you say his surname? As in what you use to detangle your hair? Or more like Cooms?

Apologies for the stupidity of this question, but I’ve only ever seen his name written down.

I really don't like Lower Decks. Before you downvote, I would never tell anyone it's bad or that they shouldn't like it. I just really can't figure out why most people seem to like it so much.

Similar to what I've heard many fans of LD say, I don't like Discovery or Picard either but I love Strange New Worlds. That seems to be pretty common among the Lower Decks fandom. Yet no matter how many times I try to watch LD I always end up borderline hating it. I don't even like the crossover episode with SNW.

For reference, the things I specifically dislike are: I don't find it funny; I think that the characters are too cynical, hyperactive or doe-eyed; and I'm normally a big proponent of 2D animation but I don't like LD's art style either.

It's cool that they have brought back so many characters, actors and details from the old days, but to me that's not enough to get over the things I don't like. I'm also not one to notice that they faithfully recreated a minor detail from the classic series without it being pointed out to me.

Is it just that my sense of humor and other tastes are too different, despite sharing a lot of other opinions with fans of LD? Or is it the deep Trek references that people love so much but often go over my head? Or is it something else entirely that I'm not getting that makes so many people love this show?

Whatever it is that's lost on me, I'm glad so many people are getting their joy from LD. I just need to convince my coworker to stop recommending it to me. :P

(I also spent over an hour editing this before posting it to make sure it sounds as diplomatic as possible, so hopefully I don't still manage to piss everyone off with my heresy.)

I didn't recognise it at first tbh. As always I could give you the instruction as pdf if you didn't manage to get one of the advent calendars

I’ve recently been looking through this unbelievably detailed list/history of the chairs appearing in all the different Trek series/movies. Thought you all might enjoy!

It should also be found at the official site, but the actual clip doesn't seem to be working right now.

Whenever there's a storyline with quark, they talk about money/latinum.

I remember in one of the next gen episodes that there was discussion about money and Picard said something about how they've moved away from money.

So do Starfleet get paid now?

Update: thank you for the quick responses. From what I'm gathering the tldr is that the following is the answer

  • Ferengi love for money/not being a post scarcity society by design
  • Bajorans being so near their slavery times and not post scarcity yet
  • Quark creating an atmosphere of camaraderie/gambling/upgraded replicators/actual food

All this requires some form of currency.
