While we both enjoyed it, LT gave it his lowest rating of the series so far.

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!2021-10-262h 42Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTLDP 019 - wej DujBrian and LT talk through Lower Decks S2E9 titled wej Duj.

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.2021-09-211h 37Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTLDP 015 - An Embarrassment of DooplersBrian and Kyle talk through Star Trek: Lower Decks S2E5, titled An Embarrassment of Dooplers.

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!!!2020-10-121h 56Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTLDP 009 - Crisis PointBrian, Kyle, and special guest LT talk through Star Trek: Lower Decks S1E9, titled Crisis Point.

We all thought this was the best episode of the series.2020-10-061h 24Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTLDP 008 - VeritasBrian & Kyle discuss Star Trek: Lower Decks S1E8, titled Veritas. A departure from previous episodes, we thought it was the best of the season.

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. Instead, the Cerritos gets a substitute Captain, and it's an Academy classmate of Mariner's, Captain Adira Ramsey.2020-09-211h 18Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTLDP 006 - Terminal ProvocationsBrian & Kyle discuss Lower Decks S1E6, titled Terminal Provocations.

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.2020-08-101h 15Star Trek Picard Talk ThroughStar Trek Picard Talk ThroughSTPC 018 - Patreon Call-in 8/1/2020This is our August Patreon call-in show, recorded on August 1, 2020.
