He's what Klingons should be... not like his old captain, who's more what they had become during the corrupt era. But it's a definite plus he's not able to fight on par.
Probably varies by ship. Support ships in-federation allow them, exploration ships know what sort of insane nutcasery ground crews can pick up, and thus disallow them for safety purposes.
@kdrapertrucker Things starfleet officers need in the wild, they can replicate up a bag or belt holster or something to take it with them. Things starfleet officers bring back from the wild, they can put in a clearly labeled pouch or bag, so that if something goes wonky they know what it was. Starfleet officers finding a cool rock and bringing it back with them has a nonzero chance of being an episode's inciting incident.

Actually, there IS a planet in real life that rains glas... and has winds that make the strongest hurricanes on earth look like a light breeze so you get sandblasted to death. I heard the weather is very nice this time of the year 😁
As the other guy said, there are actual planets with hostile weather like that. IIRC, Uranus also has diamond rain, but it's a gas giant so in between the difficulty of getting close and getting back out you also have to deal with winds that make a Cat 5 look like a still day. Not to mention places where the surface temperature is in the high hundreds (celcius, farenheit, take your pick really) but due to pressure and atmospheric conditions it's actually a snow-covered wasteland. Planets are scary when they don't have stable orbits and magnetospheres.
@@BlackPsionicI mean, planets have such diverse environments that pretty much any planet other than the one you evolved on, or one that evolved life forms very much like yourself, is gonna be scary af. So it's really only fair to compare class M planets with one another - anything outside of class M is gonna be inherently scary. (Sherbal V is definitely on the scarier side of the class M range.)
@@kaiserzaiser5002 Same here. Ma'ah is a noble, reasonable, smart, cleaver, and honorable Klingon warrior. It's a good thing he got his revenge on his traitorous former crewmates by Klingon means... by brutally dispatching and killing his former friend G'reck, the betrayer.
I want to see a match of ambo jitsu between them! Before, he either stabbed her with a battle blade in the foot to save her life, in his opinion, or she hit him to get the god-like energies out of him or hit him at his request to get teeth for Moopsy bait.
@@daveh4334 so did Ransom in the Vindor fight. Saying since she saw how Ransom did it effectively in a real fight. she has no reason not use it if the opportunity presents itself.
I like the detail in the fight scene of Ma'ah always winning contests of strength between the two and being able to use his weight against her; he's clearly bigger and heavier, and the show doesn't have Mariner miraculously overpower him. Instead, she holds her own through agility and tenacity.
From Ransom's fighting on Gelrak V and against the Pakleds' boarding party. To Mariner's use of it in this fight. It's some of the best kirk fu in the series.
I think Klingons are better at discerning between mating rituals and proper duels to the death otherwise everytime they fought they'd be worried about mixed signals
There's an exoplanet where high winds blow silicate particles at 5400 mph and it also possibly rains molten glass sideways. By comparison the knife rain seems pretty tame.
Remember that Klingons do a lot of hand-to-hand fighting in confined spaces... as foreplay. Things would get very awkward very quickly if he tried to wrestle Mariner in that cave.
I kind of assumed the writers were having fun with the trope 'then I took an arrow to the knee' But in the future, a person could be fixed over and over.
What really sucks is that Ma'ah had NO one. Every other Captain who was marooned at least had their 1st Officer with them. Literally everyone on Ma'ah's ship betrayed him.
And now look at him. Head of a whole defense fleet. Loyal targ at his side. Beautiful woman as part of his bridge crew? Dude is living his best life, all because of an insanely klingon-like human woman he had an impromptu therapy session with under threat of glass rain.
I finally figured out what Mariner at 0:53 reminds me of....Tom Cruise in "The Last Samurai" when he's truing to get that one guy to shoot a musket at him, loading under pressure (and pretty much failing). Both seem to have a bit of a death wish. The internal anguish over Sito we find out later has reached it's peak in this scene. I honestly think she wants to die here to end her pain.
Because it's probably how they call to a strong "wine" alcoholic drink. I mean, in Spain we have a drink called "Sangría" (bleeding) because it kind of resembles blood in a way? Though it's just red wine tempered with soda.
Archer himself asked "What's it the blood of?" It isn't necessarily Klingon. For all we know they ferment grapes (oh god now I'm picturing a Klingon Picard on a vineyard on Q'ronos) and they just refer to all fruit juices as "blood"
Not really happy, no (but resigned to accept it). It's only ever been pink in Star Trek VI. Every other time it's been red. It was only pink so that the movie could keep its PG-13 rating.
Worf explicitly restrains himself around humans because once when he and another boy head butted in a soccer game, he broke the boys neck when he had barely felt anything.
Ma'ah got JACKED.
It's really cool to see him again.
He seemed both smart and... well, honorable.
He totally got huge!
He's what Klingons should be... not like his old captain, who's more what they had become during the corrupt era. But it's a definite plus he's not able to fight on par.
I totally want Ma'ah to be a regular. Dude's a rare sight.
A genuinely honorable klingon.
so how do you feel know?
@@ThomasBravoGaming At peace.
“Teach me how to tap dance Beverly crusher” such a classic boimler quote 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm glad to see the guy wasn't really killed off 😊
Me too. I liked him a lot in his short. I hope his Targ is okay. I really want to see it again.
Omg, me too!
I wanted him and biomler to meet and realize how much they have in common.
Ma'ah isn't going to die like some p'takh.
Are we just ignoring the elephant in the room? Starfleet uniforms have POCKETS!?
Probably varies by ship.
Support ships in-federation allow them, exploration ships know what sort of insane nutcasery ground crews can pick up, and thus disallow them for safety purposes.
Why wouldn't they? Clothing for exploration tends to have lots of pockets, especially large cargo pockets for things you need while out in the wild.
@kdrapertrucker Things starfleet officers need in the wild, they can replicate up a bag or belt holster or something to take it with them. Things starfleet officers bring back from the wild, they can put in a clearly labeled pouch or bag, so that if something goes wonky they know what it was.

Hard to notice but the Dominon War grey uniforms had pockets too.

She did the kirk punches like ransom

@@CS-bu7lo that's how you end up with a destructo-nookie scenario
I'm pretty sure Mariner said _"Kirk!"_ with each punch.
@@daveh4334 so did Ransom in the Vindor fight. Saying since she saw how Ransom did it effectively in a real fight. she has no reason not use it if the opportunity presents itself.
You'd think a planet with knife rain would be a Klingon paradise.
Do not fight the storm, Spyrofan.
Storms have no honor!
Facing certain death for no gain isn't glory. It is folly. There isn't even an enemy to defeat.
@@bthsr7113That said I can absolutely see them wanting to borrow that planet for survival training.
@@singletona082 That could definitely work. If they add some wild animals that thrive as apex predators.

Goddamn! When it comes to fight scenes, Star Trek has come a long way since the infamous Captain Kirk vs Gorn fight!
From Ransom's fighting on Gelrak V and against the Pakleds' boarding party. To Mariner's use of it in this fight. It's some of the best kirk fu in the series.
You realize that, from the Klingon's perspective, Mariner might be initiating a mating ritual.
She's smart, sassy, does NOT back down, and heads into danger for the sake of those she cares about.
She's a klingon dream girl.
I think Klingons are better at discerning between mating rituals and proper duels to the death
otherwise everytime they fought they'd be worried about mixed signals
Love how the two handed punch will forever and always be a "kirk punch"
0:49 AND MA'AH WITH THE VERTICAL SUPLEX!!!
"Lower Decks" has Glass Storms, while "Adventure Time" has Knife Storms. Definitely something to keep an eye out for.
Don't try to catch those on your tongue.
Death from above.
KNIFE EYE ATTACK!
Or else you'll end up like General Chang.
There's an exoplanet where high winds blow silicate particles at 5400 mph and it also possibly rains molten glass sideways. By comparison the knife rain seems pretty tame.
"It is too confined for proper combat"
I mean he's right.
Remember that Klingons do a lot of hand-to-hand fighting in confined spaces... as foreplay. Things would get very awkward very quickly if he tried to wrestle Mariner in that cave.
Makes sense for both Mariner and Ma'ah to fear a glass storm; it's a terrible way to die for both of them, but for completely different reasons.
Mariner,please have a doctor look at your shoulder. I think you got a magnet or something in there.
I mean seriously, back on Orion none of those knives were even aimed at her!😂
@@GhostBear3067 right? And this razor rain just gets her shoulder?
I kind of assumed the writers were having fun with the trope 'then I took an arrow to the knee'
But in the future, a person could be fixed over and over.
@@ericwilliams1659 yeah, still think they should check for magnets though. It can’t be healthy either way.
After the third time I would just have the doctor reroute all of my major nerves and blood vessels to go _around_ the bullseye.
This scene has an extra nerdy Easter egg. There is an actual exoplanet where it rains glass!
Its a trip that the KLINGON BLOOD IS THE SAME COLOR AS STAR TREK 6😂😂😂
"Klingon blood runs as reddish-pink as ever."
What really sucks is that Ma'ah had NO one. Every other Captain who was marooned at least had their 1st Officer with them. Literally everyone on Ma'ah's ship betrayed him.

Anyone happy to see pink Klingon blood again? Now it got me wondering how come Blood Wine is red if their blood is pink 😅

@@Rassilon001Or it's simply the name of the drink, without them needing to call "blood" to fruit juices.
They seem to have multiple blood colors? Maybe it's a dietary thing, who knows.
Not really happy, no (but resigned to accept it). It's only ever been pink in Star Trek VI. Every other time it's been red. It was only pink so that the movie could keep its PG-13 rating.
Ma'ah gained muscle from being stuck on this planet and also the typical Klingon nasty character.
Ma'ah may be smaller, and weaker, and slower, and smaller, than many Klingon officers, but he has a warrior's spirit.
@@daveh4334 He's not so smaller now
@@RagnarKorg3141 Definitely
What are you talking about? By Klingon standards, the guy's a total sweetheart. 😆
@@Brasswatchman In its beginnings no doubt, but now sweetheart is no longer relevant
I lowkey ship Ma’ah and Mariner together. I think they would be a good couple.
Worf explicitly restrains himself around humans because once when he and another boy head butted in a soccer game, he broke the boys neck when he had barely felt anything.
Mariner is practicing Klingon diplomacy.
0:56 The animation stepped up.
It's called razor rain.
Mariner wasn't effective cause all she was using is Kirk punches. You need Spock in order to have effective Kirk-Fu
Rain of glass ... Hmm i love it
I’d ship it lol
Y’all a glass storm is a painful way to die
Good for executions, thougth. If Boiling Water is good enough already...
Glass Storm? Wow, I don't want to live on that planet.
We've come a far way from Kirk with the gorn.
So much there friendship back In Season 1. Then again this abandoned him and Boilmer before so nothing new
This is a different Klingon then the one from season 1. He's the Klingon who killed his captain for supporting Pakleds
@@warhawk9566 Sorry It's honestly been awhile since I've last seen this show.
I'm just surprised by Mariner's revelation of a friendship with a certain Ensign who met an unfortunate fate.
Different Klingon. They don't look anything alike, and the voices are completely different.
