COUNTDOWN TO LOWER DECKS SEASON 5 5 WEEKS – Main Cast

i need those thinkpieces of how you can't actually be evil in datv to stop.

it's not the point of the game to be evil and they never claimed you could be evil. it's three different flavours of hero, the same it has been in all bioware games.

bg3 did claim you could be evil and it had to add those evil storylines in about a year later bc it was literally devoid of consequences other than npc = dead.

no one complains that you can't join the wild hunt in tw3, no one complains you can't bash in atreus's skull in gow, no one complains that you can't join the reapers in me.

i am so tired of this double standard with datv by people determined to bash it for clout and who haven't engaged with it genuinely on the basis of what it is: a bioware game in a long line of bioware games.

there are legitimate faults with the game that we can talk about all day (lore inconsistencies, retcons, writing quality of dialogue i.e. my personal pet peeve of using the word 'okay' in fantasy settings and far more egregious examples, the secret ending, etc), but bashing it for something it never claimed to be is utterly idiotic.

I saw someone on Reddit call our Best Girl tm

Harrow, The Human Clowncar, Nonagesimus

And I never truly recovered.

She plays a game of hide and seak mixed with soul hitchhiker at a frankly Olympic level.

pov: you just got symbiote concussively forced out of you by the spider-men, the tanker down the street is probably about to explode, you can’t feel your left leg, another squadron of hunters is approaching from a jet even though their leader got chomped a couple days ago, and the spider-men are doing a meme

Can't re-watch without overthinking, there are parallels with Xu Shanshan 's story?

this is ep 8, season 1 where Xu Shanshan comes as a customer in the time photo studio. Lu Guang asks her why didn't she ask Dong Yi herself afterwards if she cared so much?

Xu Shanshan answers : It's because I care so much, that's why I couldn't bring myself to ask. I'm so afraid that the answer is not going to be what I think it is.

Lu Guang stares for a while, our gaze is focused on Lu Guang and then he declares that they are gonna 'help'. Xu Shanshan came as a customer, Lu Guang after some consideration decided to 'help' without taking any money for exchange. After re-thinking a lot of other parallel stories, I can say this is one of those moments where Lu Guang feels the personal tug to help. It resonates with him.

Later Cheng Xiaoshi while diving in Xu Shanshan 's body converses with Dong Yi and when Dong Yi says

Dong Yi : I still have to choose to leave eventually.

Now we hear Cheng Xiaoshi saying, 'Leave?'

While watching this section, I could feel one thing, the original emotion may belong to Xu Shanshan but Cheng Xiaoshi really mixes it with his own subjectivity, it's not really Dong Yi directed anymore (actually it was never Dong Yi directed anyway, Cheng Xiaoshi was reluctant to dive because they were not getting paid for this). The song Cheng Xiaoshi sings...I am pasting the youtube link below.

I am mentioning a few lines from the lyrics

There are still endless words to say But the wind reminds us to go Only laughter and tears will be left behind Left behind in the summer of this year Regarding the future, there is too much doubt left unanswered About bread, about ideas There is also the ordinary and the mighty Just like that, we depart Goodbye ,to those of you who are in a hurry like me ... Time will give answer to growth ... River will give answer to wave Together we leap into the sea of people And be a surging wave

The melancholic yearning mixed with the concern of time and the ocean and wave imagery makes me think that this song goes more with Shiguang.

Let's just reminisce a few lines from OPs and EDs

Dive back in time

All the heartaches and the smiles never faded I know you'll be by my side when we make it

The Eye

I wish that I could tell you the truth

The Tides, Vortex, The Eye have multiple ocean/wave metaphor.

Also, there are some interesting shots that appear on the screen when Cheng Xiaoshi is about to begin singing

This seems to be Guidu's basketball court.

I don't think either Xu Shanshan or Dong Yi have anything to do with that scene. It's Cheng Xiaoshi's memories getting triggered by the word 'leave' and it also echoes the themes of the song 'Mao Buyi'. Now, after watching Yingdu episode 1, we know what basketball symbolism is in the context of Shiguang.

Lu Guang is really really moved. Look at his face, his expression screams that he very much understands that melancholy. And it is Cheng Xiaoshi singing so...I can't fathom (😭) what Lu Guang might be feeling at this moment.

Now.

There are a few lines Lu Guang notes from Dong Yi's speech to Xu Shanshan :

No matter how hard the future might be, I want to stay. Because leaving you, hurts more than anything else.

Either Yingdu episode 1 is making me hallucinate or this really is the reason Lu Guang stayed with Cheng Xiaoshi and promised he would never leave.
