STD is making the slug aliens from TNG S1 episode Conspiracy into the Big Baddies. I also haven't seen Lt. Uwu or the other helmsmen in a couple of episode. This concludes your weekly recap of STD.

Tilly attempts to run, falls, sadly is not eaten by the slug aliens.

At least we learned her first name an episode before she fucked off because there's still PT requirements in the 30th or whatever century. And who the fuck is that blonde woman who has a line or two an episode? She just showed up randomly last season with no name or explanation.
Another important update:

Mikey Spock is well on her way to becoming dummy thicc.

Idk it kinda seems dumb if everything you do can just be erased by someone going back in time and pouring bleach into the primordial soup. Trek time travel works well as an excuse for one-off adventures, but doesn't benefit from people thinking about the implications too much.

You know, I think a show about a 'temporal cold war' could have worked a lot better if we were watching it from the perspective of one of the actual participants.

You could totally get away with changing/entirely removing core members of the cast from episode to episode because they/their entire fucking race now never existed.
Only to bring them back, perhaps even totally different after another change occurs in the show. I'm not saying that this *would* be done well, but if it was, I could see myself enjoying that show.

Obviously, none of this is ever going to happen... so just consider all of this to be the musings of a drunk man. @_@

The bridge officer played by the woman who was the robot/cyborg/whatever in the first season? Yea, who knows. Seem to get a bunch of reaction shots of her looking confused. Oh, wait, I'm watching the episode now. Captain what's-her-name says "Commander Nielsen" and it cuts to the blonde woman, so, she's Commander Nielsen I guess? IMDB and subtitles say "Nilsson" whatever. Apparently was a Lt earlier in the show. Every other Trek would have made a big deal of her promotion and we'd have heard her name. You could replace the entire bridge crew and I don't think anyone would even notice.

Edit, holy fuck. In looking up Nilsson I came across a still of Tilly from one of the the first episodes:

I hate those STD uniforms so goddamn much.

I think the only thing worse than the base uniform is whatever the hell armor/shiny uniform they have when they're doing random stuff, like Tilly and what's their name on the exploding space station, and now the away teams on this episode.
 
STD's latest episode was about evacuating a colony, and Burnham and boyfriend, the two blacks on the show, made it priority #1 to evacuate the maximum security prison, which for some reason only had only 5 people, and of course the prisons were "guilty" of things like "stealing food to feed their children" cause all criminals are innocent, all cops are bad, etc. The governor of the colony at the end complained that Burnham decided to put the prisoners and civilians in a room together with no safety measures and Burnham threated to airlock him if he didnt check his privilege.

The episode should have been realistic, and had the prisoners just start murdering and raping everybody peacefully protesting.

Lower Decks have naked characters showing their crotch. Sure, is censored, but until either Discovery or Picard do that, then LD is the most cancerous.

Yeah, when I first saw a clip of that I thought it was pretty bad too, but in the context of the episode a character is entering a training simulator where the crew has been striken with a virus that removes people's inhibitions similar to the TOS episode The Naked Time. LD is a comedy so they tried to make a joke out of no inhibitions = giant orgy, plus I assume the fact that everyone gets naked is a play on the original episode's title. I'm not going to argue it's great writing, or that there wasn't someone working in production beating off to it, but it is 100% consistent with Star Trek lore.

*Edit* I also completely forgot about the TNG episode where they find a bunch of people who literally died having an orgy when they were infected with a similar virus. You can say it's low-brow and not funny, but you can't say it's not totally consistant with previous Star Trek series:

I turned around on LD when they went on the collector's ship and the skeleton of the giant Spock clone from TAS was hanging from the ceiling. That's a deep cut right there. Their references to previous stuff are on point even if the characters are terrible. I have to give credit where it's due.

Wait... are you serious? Are they really bringing back the bluegills?

Dear God it is all the tie-in novel fan-ficers in charge.

It sounds like they just went on the Memory Alpha wiki and mashed "Random Page" to see what they could reference.

This seems like a good premise for an episode in a better sci-fi show: you need to evacuate a colony, but you have limited space and need to make hard choices. How do you proritize the space that you have? How do you explain to people that you have to leave them to die? How do you stop your ship from being overrun wheb everyone learns that they all can't be saved?

...wait, this is just Naomi's plot thread in "Cascade."

The premise/lesson of this episode was the opposite. Everyone tried to tell Michael she couldn't save everyone and to leave the 6 most maximum security prisoners, but she showed them.

In earlier episodes this season, the President of the Federation tried to tell her she "still had more to learn about leadership" because she doesn't believe in making tactical sacrifices and thinks she can win everything everytime. Federation President tried to quote Needs Of The Many, IIRC, to which, no joke, Michael in offense retorted that she doesnt have anything to learn and can save everyone everytime, and went on to brag about how many times she's saved the galaxy, and that everyone's needs can be met if President White Lady would just "Do Better" like Captain of Color.
