Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLycia Naff provides the voice of Captain Sonya Gomez, having earlier played the role in two second season episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). In those episodes, Ensign Gomez is a rookie engineering officer aboard the Enterprise-D.
- GoofsCaptain Freeman says that she will tell sickbay to "brace for hangovers." Starships in the late 24th century serve synthehol, which does not cause hangovers.
However, the celebrations mentioned would be planetside. The Laperians probably still ingest alcohol, which is what would cause real hangovers.
- Quotes
[Tendi & Rutherford are waiting for Boimler to surface from the Cetacean Ops officers' water tank]
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: He should have come up already.
[Matt & Kimolu, two cetaceans, bring an unconscious Boimler up from the bottom of their tank]
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: Boimler!
Lt. (j.g.) Kimolu: [squeaking] He's not breathing!
Lt. (j.g.) Matt: [squeaking] His blowhole's broken!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: He's in arrest!
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford: We have to get him to sickbay!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: There's no time!
[She starts CPR on Boimler]
Lt. (j.g.) Matt: [squeaking] Don't let him dry out!
Lt. (j.g.) Kimolu: [squeaking] Spray him with water!
So how amazing to have the ep almost immediately supplanted barely a week later by new favourite wej Duj.
Only to see THAT now surpassed by First First Contact!!!
Holeeee this show has gotten goooood. My head is spinning.
Like some folk on here, I should admit that it took me a while to catch the vibe. It wasn't until mid S1 before I was properly warming to it.
Since I, Excretus I've been unabashedly telling everyone to get on it!
Kudos to the creative team. The show is wonderfully coco ever and really well written. Titmouse have lent their immense visual talents while staying true to the Trek aesthetic, spotting the familiar is always a fun part of each ep. And the cast...well they are just perfect.
Keep 'em coming folks.
