This episode originally broadcast on September 12, 2024. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2024/09/binary-system-podcast-424-lower-decks-mayor-of-kingstown-kaos-and-somewhat-careless-snake-people/ Okay in some respects it's just business as usual around here: Kathryn and Elizabeth have both been watching season 1 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, four years after it first came out, that tracks. But Kathryn just watched the first episode of Mayor of Kingstown season 3, only three months late, what the heck? And Elizabeth just watched two episodes of Kaos and that's not even three weeks old, WHAT'S HAPPENING WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE CONSUMING CONTENT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? Ahem. We like all of those things, of course, and we also discuss heatwaves, restarting your Netflix account, ridiculously charming smiles, and certain people who got in the news for getting snake bit. (We hope the guy recovers, but man alive that really was the shortest line between Fuck Around and Find Out.) But we do start the episode with the news of James Earl Jones' passing. RIP, James, we hope you know how happy you made all us nerds every time we saw you. This week's outro is a clip from Snake Charmer by Synapsis. Correction: Kathryn says the revelation about Ensign Mariner at the end of Lower Decks season one was surprising. She meant at the end of episode one. (There's a pretty fun reveal at the end of season one too but we won't get into that now...) Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

An accidental portaling causes Ensign Boimler, of the USS Cerritos, to travel back in time to Pike's Enterprise. Boimler is ecstatic to meet his heroes, but they are more concerned with him not screwing up the timeline.    An attempt to send him back is thwarted by Orion scientist/pirates who steal the portal. Once that's back, a second attempt is thwarted by Ensign Mariner coming through to rescue Boimler -- using up the last of the specific element the portal needs to work.   Cerritos/Enterprise mash-up ensues. Orion hurricanes, Vulcan laughter, and a whole lot of shenanigans. 

On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek Lower Decks, Moist Vessel (Season 1, Episode 4). He will examine the leadership approaches of Captain Freeman and Ensign Mariner. If we only did things we love to do at work, they wouldn't need to give us money to show up. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy those things that make you feel like you're earning your paycheck. As Freeman continues to mismanage her crew, Mariner decides to find joy in the garbage tasks she is being given. Jeff breaks this down and shares how you can do the same.

We know you're as devastated as we are for this season of Lower Decks to be over, but we've got something that we think will make you feel a little bit better. That's right, we have Ensign Mariner herself Tawny Newsome. And while Mariner might go out of her way to make life on the Cerritos as chaotic as possible Tawny goes out of her way to make life at her abode as enjoyable as possible for all her guests. That's right, Tawny Newsome loves hosting guests! She spills the dish on her lovely property out in the middle of nowhere (her words not ours) and everything she loves about hosting her friends and family and even spills the tea on who isn't' invited back and why.

On this episode, Jeff Akin reviews Star Trek Lower Decks, Envoys (Season 1, Episode 2). He will examine the leadership approaches of the Command Team of the USS Cerritos, and Ensign Mariner. Ensign Rutherford is thinking of changing his job. His journey is a such a scathing reflection of our professional cultures - it is actually a joke that his managers are supportive of him! This fun, seemingly light-hearted episode of Lower Decks does an amazing job of demonstrating what a supportive work environment looks like.

Brian, Kyle, and LT talk through the Lower Decks season finale, S2E10 titled First First Contact. Like last season, the last three episodes ended up being the best of the season, and these were even better than last season. We see an old acquaintance from the Enterprise-D now make it to captain, and the Cerritos saves the day, but not without some twists and turns and an unexpected ending. We can't wait for Season 3!

Kyle and Brian are joined later in the podcast by LT and the three of them talk through Lower Decks S2E6 The Spy Humongous. This one was good, though it suffers a bit from the issue that is the Pakleds. They are funny, as long as you don't overthink them. Once you do, they don't make a lot of sense.

It's strange energy indeed, as we return to life aboard the Cerritos with Ensign Mariner and her mother Captain Freeman. Things are going great – and they both secretly hate it! You would think they could talk about it, but it seems like they can't. It takes Ransom heading down to a planet and getting blasted with "strange energies" and become a young, narcissistic godling for them to admit it to each other.    Also, Tendi thinks Rutherford's cybernetic implants are malfunctioning and will stop at nothing to fix him! A new season of hijinks and shenanigans is in the offing. Huzzah!

The USS Cerritos cements itself as the most extreme ship when it comes to photonic technology as Ensign Mariner hijacks Boimler's interview prep ship simulation into an intense homage to the legacy of Star Trek on film (and some accidental therapy) on...

Brian, and Kyle talk through the season finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks S1E10, titled No Small Parts. Now that Boimler knows Mariner's secret, it doesn't take long for the rest of the crew to know, too. With the last several episodes being outstanding, we had some trepidation about this episode. Would Mike McMahan and crew stick the landing? We think YES!!! THEY DID!!!

Brian & Kyle discuss Lower Decks S1E7, titled Much Ado About Boimler. From the title, you may think this was a Boimler episode, but his character was very much a part of the B story this week.

Lower Decks Review - "Temporal Edict" "Star Trek: Lower Decks" gets comfortable this week with its usual A and B "Ship Story" and "Planet Story." The former finds the lower decks "buffer time" policy going awry, whilst the Cerritos' first officer and Ensign Mariner tangle with conflicting ideas about protecting the crew. Grace, co-host of the "Women At Warp" podcast joins the trio to look at the jokes, characters, and all things animated in this third episode of the newest Trek series. What was your favorite moment?

Brian and Kyle talk through the third episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Temporal Edict. The end of Buffer Time on the USS Cerritos brings a frazzled crew; a second contact for Ransom & Mariner goes badly and leads to deadly combat with a new Federation world. We both enjoyed this one, maybe a little less than the last but still good and we're getting used to the show as a whole.

Brian and Kyle talk through the third episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Temporal Edict.

We are unfortunately several days late this week, but we talk through the second episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Envoys. We both liked this one a lot better than the first episode. It had some real laugh out loud moments and some interesting character development. We're enjoying the series so far and look forward to the next one.

My TWDTT/FTWDTT co-host Kyle McAdams and I bring you this new animated show on CBS All Access. Ruthie will be back for Discovery in October. This episode, we talk through the first episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, titled Second Contact. This one was pretty much a split vote. I loved it and thought it was very respectful to the TNG era of the 1990's. Kyle had a lot of issues with it, especially the pacing and format.
