All the posters are pretty good except season 1’s was kind of underwhelming and not as good a pastiche of the TMP poster. I think it was also how the noses were shaded.
Like pretty much everyone here, I’ll miss Lower Decks as well. During my various watches, I realized that Bradward Boimler is probably the most relatable Star Trek character for me. I think to be a Boimler, you have to want to be another character, then realize you are trying way too hard to be that character. For instance, I thought Data was the ST character I was most like (and Rutherford the LD character), and then I slowly realized I was more so a Boimler.
Awesome poster. Sucks it’s the final season.
It’s really sad, they totally grew on me. They rarely missed the tone of past trek, including it in episodes.
I’m just a little salty about how they portrayed Rom.
I’m curious about what your issue with Rom’s portrayal was.
My impression was, that they somehow ignored Rom’s character development he had in DS9, he became the Grand Nagus because of his ways of doing things.
In the LD episode he really only did silly stuff, while his wife handled the more serious stuff with the captain.
Or i remember his development on DS9 much deeper than it really was.
I think it might be time for a rewatch of the series.
You should definitely rewatch that episode, he’s playing dumb to test the Captain’s ability to swindle and swindler.
My interpretation of Rom’s portrayal was that he was playing up the simple earnestness of the character, as a ploy to lull Admiral Vassery into accepting the terms of deal as part of a test to see if the Federation had the lobes to be viable allies to the Ferengi Alliance.
Ok - I’ll have to rewatch, some things definitely flew over my head in this episode.
That was entirely it.
Lower decks is the only star trek my kids give a damn about, we’ve watched every season together. The only reason they even considered watching SNW is cause they knew Mariner and Boimler were in the episode.
I’m going to really miss it.
