Idk if this has been done (can't remember if I've seen it anywhere) so I made a thing--

Red Exocomp: Hi I'm Almond Basket!

Lady: Awww, you're sweet.

Blur Exocomp: Hi I'm Peanut Hamper!

Lady: Hello human resources?!

if i had a nickel for every time i cried after watching star trek because a little android died tragically i'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

Am I literally tearing up because one baby robot sacrificed itself so its two other baby robot siblings could escape a radiation field?

Yes I am. And you shut the fuck up about it.

So it’s strange. Lower Decks ends a fantastic, surprising high-note, and the jump really is from episodes six to seven, as though the production team consciously chose to make six shit episodes of television all up-front to get it ‘out of their system,’ so they could rear-load the latter half of the season with all the non-shit. I am excited to see season two, when four episodes ago I was surmising that I’d see season one out out of a sense of obligation and write a very long screed  questioning the collective wisdom that Lower Decks was any good. But then it just... stop being bad overnight in a way that leaves me flabbergasted and puzzled, intensely curious as to what, if anything, changed. Was there a weirdly-balanced production gap, with six episode in the first batch and four in the second? Did it take six episodes before someone at the network watched it and was able to give constructive notes? Was it all done on a dare? Anyone know> I don’t know if season two will keep the high going or revert to form. I hope it stays on the good side, as would anyone. The end of season one isn’t perfect—it left a bad taste in my mouth to see an exocomp member of Starfleet and then have them so blithely, pointlessly used—but that’s a minor point in a surprisingly good run of episodes. If season 2 holds itself to that standard then I’d argue it’s good television. I’ll let you know how it goes.
