Buckle up, ensigns, we’re going to STARBASE 80! *horrified shrieks* This episode is canonizing Roddenberry’s fever dreams. Mariner and Captain Freeman might be on track to swap places. Laugh along with Jim and A.Ron as they embark on another truly funny and adventurous episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks!
lo’taHvIS, be’nI’puqloD! Jim and A.Ron are now on the Klingon homeworld of Qo’noS catching up with Ma’ah. Check out some of the deepest cuts Jim and A.Ron have experienced in all of Star Trek. The Klowahkan food critics are real jerks. Experience Bij!
Don’t worry, Jim and A.Ron haven’t seen The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) either. This episode of Lower Decks takes Boimler, Mariner, Rutherford, Tendi, and T’Lyn to a vacation planet. But it’s not all fun in the sun! Mariner and Jennifer’s relationship status is unclear. Boimler is terrified of Ransom. And there’s a rogue icosahedron.
Here’s a Bointer for you, join Jim and A.Ron on their exploration of Lower Decks for maximum fun and enjoyment of the series! Tendi is bringing her StarFleet sensibilities to her pirating people. Boimler and Mariner are trying to figure out their leadership styles. Did you catch that cameo at the end of the episode?
Take off with Jim and A.Ron as they explore the new season of Star Trek: Lower Decks! We join back up with Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and Tendi right where we left them. When the entire Enterprise gets pulled into a mirror dimension, the crew (our version of them) have to face the people they may become…for better or for worse. Jump in on this fun start to a promising season!
Lets get back into it one more time before we put season 5 to bed to hear your final thoughts on the season.
It’s the season finale of Fargo Season 5, did Noah Hawley pull it off? The overall plot and the character of Munch gave this season a Grimm’s Fairy Tale feel. This was one of the best episodes of the season, Juno Temple gives a great performance and Roy is finally taken down. Hear Jim and A.Ron’s thoughts and your feedback as we sign off on this season of Fargo.
The tides are turning on the newest episode of Fargo. Roy is fully a nightmare. We’re starting to feel sorry for Gator. Ole Munch walks off into the mist. And Dot’s true history comes to light. With the ending of the season in sight, Jim and A.Ron are wondering what is true and what is all a “dream”?
Jim is still down with covid so my buddy Ron Dawson (author of “Dungeons ‘n’ Durags” and host of podcast of the same name) joins me to break this episode down. Does Dorthy feel repressed guilt about the fate of Linda? Will Gator find redemption? Is Lorraine a villain? And what the hell does “Blanket” mean, anyway?! All this plus feedback including a fascinating email on David Graeber’s “Debt: The First 5,000 Years“.
Just as Jim and A.Ron were getting back into the Fargo saddle, tragedy strikes! Jim has fallen ill and so A.Ron turns to Pete Peppers to help break down all the puppety action this episode. What does Dot’s dream escapades tell us about her inner conflict? What kind of unholy vengeance does Ole Munch have planned for the Tillmans? And holy hell, Gator is almost 30?!? We’ll get fully caught up with this week’s episode and feedback with another new host by the end of the week! Thanks for your patience as we reroute things to cover for Jim in his hour of need.
