The New Next Generation Lower Decks 5x10

My favorite part of the Lower Decks finale:

Tendiford: What are you talking about, we don’t have romantic feelings at all!

T’Lyn:

Combine that with Mariner calling Boimler handsome and it’s clear the writers had us shippy fans in mind, giving us these valuable crumbs to work with.

I’m gonna miss this show. Engage the core, Cerritos crew. Engage the core…

For any Marinler fans who may be feeling dejected by the mutual celebration of friendship during the finale, one of my acquaintances shared this with me and a few others earlier this week and I believe it’s important to remember for these two characters:

With everything that’s transpired between them this season and even prior, it’s obvious they are more than “just friends.” That is the foundation of who they are together, not the extent.

There’s gonna be tons of jokes circulating Starfleet about how the Cerritos needs two officers for every job. Two science officers, two first officers. If they promote Rutherford to co-Chief Engineer the whole gang will be part of the redundancy.

"You know why Boimler's weird death faking clone sent that cosmic wave at us? Because he knew we kick ass. And I'm not just talking about the five of us. The whole Cerritos crew is stacked with amazing officers. Yeah, there's a lot of ships in the fleet that are bigger, fancier; they have engineering sections that are attached to the main part of the ship. And honestly, those crews are way more professional. Hey, I should know, I've been kicked out of half of them. But this thing we do doesn't require perfection. We're explorers. We live for the unknown. You can't prepare for that. Nobody on the Cerritos is even close to perfect. We're a mishmash of people and creatures that don't fit in anywhere else. But we're a family. That's why I love it here. We believe in the mission and in each other. My mom might be gone, but she handpicked this crew. Which is why I know we're gonna be okay. This isn't the end of the story, it's the beginning. We're gonna make her proud." - Beckett Mariner, Lower Decks S05E10 The New Next Generation

I loved this soliloquy from Mariner. BTW, did people notice that the guy who ascended in season 1 turned back into an ordinary human and was the person who fell to the floor in sick bay?

Also, I checked and Skydance's acquisition of Paramount will be completed in the first half of 2025. Who knows? Maybe the new CEO, David Ellison, will undo the stupidity of the previous execs.

When you think about it, between the three of them they almost started a war between the Klingons and the Federation, almost got the earth blown up, almost killed a future leader of a Klingon fleet and almost got the prime timeline destroyed. And then they all died.

Basic Bitch family.

[quasi-normalcy]

I was glad that Ransom got to be captain in the end. The last time Freeman was up for reassignment, they said they were going to bring in a new captain from somewhere else, and you know what? That meathead has earned it.

[rosalind-or-ganymede]

I absolutely loved the Lower Decks finale, except for one thing. I’m so pissed that they included Rutherford having a crush on Tendi now that his implant is gone. It feels like they’ve undone all the amazing work they did up to this point, and I’m fully planning to ignore it forever.

Lower Decks didn't decanonise shit.

First Lower Decks isn't in charge of canon.

Second, the Disco Klingons maybe from an other timeline but it doesn't mean they don't exist in the Cerritos' prime timeline either.

Unless you think the Freedom, Oberth, Miranda, Galaxy and Soveriegn classes don't exist either.
