“When we decided to de-master Deep Space Nine and Voyager we knew we owed these shows no less dedication Our crack team of Fiverr employees canvassed yard sales and flea markets for weeks, all across the United States, until we found a pristine set of both series on VHS still in shrinkwrap. The problem, according to Paramount executive and self-proclaimed devoted Star Trek fan Moore Moonves, is that Star Trek: The Next Generation looked too good compared to what fans were used to. Furthermore, the company has its own theory on why the TNG Blu-ray release didn’t sell well. Paramount has seen this trend and wants to take advantage of it. VHS sales on eBay are growing, while sales of DVD and Blu-ray products are reportedly falling year-on-year. Sales of vinyl records have been rising for the past few years.
In and of itself, this isn’t an insane hypothesis. Specifically, they like old TV, they’re nostalgic for the past, and they’re rich enough to spend money on collectables of dubious value. Paramount’s decision to pivot towards, shall we say, alternate forms of physical media with this release is driven by the belief that TNG-era Star Trek fans occupy a unique nexus. Haha, get it?) Plus, losing them would diminish that crowded party effect the episode was going for.It’s a well-known fact that the Powers That Be were unhappy with sales of the TNG Blu-ray remaster when it was released 10 or so years ago. You could argue that the Boimler and Shaxs stuff could have been cut to make more time for stories of greater interest, but they still work. Not much time is given to these plots mostly they’re here to set up long jokes that pay off at the end of the show. Good humor here, and some nice romance that leaves you going “me n who.” Lastly, we have some minor stories with Boimler gambling and Shaxs arguing with an old ally on DS9 over who owes the other a favor for saving each others lives so many times. Then we have Mariner’s storyline, which involves her meeting Jeniffer, her approaching-serious girlfriend, and her friends. The tension between them gives the episode a solid emotional core the resolution not only has a nice moral, but plays a major part in wrapping up the main conflict as well. In her story, Tendi meets a fellow Orion, Mesk (don’t hold me to the spelling on that one). If this is an accurate depiction of him,, I’ve got something to look forward to going into Deep Space Nine (some day). The negotiations with the visitors from the Gamma Quadrant provides the perfect central conflict that everyone else branches off from. Looking at each storyline, I don’t think there’s a bad one in the bunch. Party on Deep Space 9 in Star Trek: Lower Decks The dialogue can come off a bit bare-bones, or rather, straight-to-the-point with so many stories, there’s only so much time for each one to settle. Bouncing back and forth between so many characters in different parts of the station is a great choice and effectively conveys the idea that this is a crowded place there’s lots to see. The main plot element is that the Cerritos is tasked with docking at Deep Space 9 so Captain Freeman can negotiate with visiting diplomats from the Gamma Quadrant, giving the Lower Deck crew a chance to branch out on their own. The show gives itself a lot of balls to juggle this week, and for the most part the writers handle it well. Ominous diplomats, pirate ships, pillow parties, and high-stakes gambling in this episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, “Hear All, Trust Nothing.” By Richard Urquiza 1 week ago Follow TweetĪ visit to a popular destination at the edge of Federation Space, Deep Space 9, has the crew of the USS Cerritos’s breaking off for many individual adventures.
