The writer's political bent is close to my own. In my own Balkanized America universe, Texas has degenerated into a corporate oligarchy and the most common source of problems for my players.
I absolutely love how LD handled the ship combat scenes. That breen torpedo impacting the front of the saucer section was epic. you could feel that impact.
Before organic crews are rendered redundant in Starfleet in this series because of this new ship class: it will either go like the M5 computer into murderous insanity, or AMIGUS and/or Peanut Hamper will take over at least one and wreak havoc until the Cerritos crew can stop it.
Nah, it can't do research tasks the way organic crew can. It seems good for border patrol but I wouldn't trust it for anything that requires diplomacy, which is Starfleet's real bread and butter.
Soooo... Starfleet did not learn from its previous disasters with automated ships, good to know... That might tell us what the season finale is gonna be about.
@@MeNoOther Highly unlikely since one was invented before the other, but might be retconned into being that. A lot of folks didnt like the synth plot, me included, so i'd applaud them for making a move like that.
Something never explained that despite the end of the war. The Breen attacking a federation starship would have been a violation of the Dominion War Accords.
I don’t remember who said it but someone pointed out that these are not Confederacy ships but rather pirates.

and it was proven that automated ship with a skeleton crew does indeed work considering the protostar unfortunatel lower decks is like 4 years and prodigy is 1 year before the Synth attack on mars so that may have proven to be a problem
I am surprised to see how well Lower Decks is following the asthetics of 90s Trek (as opposed to Discovery and Picard). It's actually making everything even sader as theyvery obviously can follow the style of my favorite Trek period but actively decided against it for some cheap looking new asthetics (where the defelctor shiel is purple instead of blue and so on...)
It almost seemed like the people in charge of Discovery and Picard followed JJ Abrams' thought process and decided they were "too good" for the material. I mean stuff like the bridge window makes sense but the redesign of the Klingons does not.
@@Mourtzouphlos240 Discovery and picards were such terrible shows, given how kurzman had an sjw agenda , she wanted to make discovery a female exclusive series. the latest season how they tried to draw in fans by putting the old cast was just poor taste, additionally, using pahwraiths and changeling was a cheapshot at best. Apparently gates mcfaddeen was the center of attention for season 3(she has her own sjw agenda for star trek). no wonder showrunners tried to get rid of her. strange new worlds something disc and picard is lacking, but overall i think the forced acting is so jarring for the series.
the last season of Picard was so cringe, i dont think the "old -cast" is going to save it. you know disc,picard and snw ran out of ideas when they use the same scene again and again(the 2 fleets warping in)
I have one foot in a transporter bay and the other in an X wing cockpit, so I gotta say; the breen and the new cannon deathtroopers really look smiliar, right? Am I the only one noticing? Garbled voice, green and dark aestehtic, the helmets....
A good way to get killed in a boarding action is to announce your presence with the sound of a transporter beam several seconds before you can actually move and do anything, thereby alerting all nearby crew to your position and giving them time to take aim. The boarding party can move *immediately* once that breach is active. Still dangerous, but less so than transporting over.
A planet full of parasites exploiting their neighbours by feeding them super-addictive chemicals and making them do all the work for them, like growing crops. In short, not nice people.
I know this is nearly a year late but they slaughtered the population of Bekka. When Picard first met them it was basically a planet wide drug dealer for a nearby world.
*@King Crypto ~* Depends upon which starship(s) you mean. But to cover bases... *:)* 1. *_California-class_** Utility Cruiser* (USS Cerritos) *~* The _California_ UCs are multi-Role starships, roughly the same size and multi-function as the _Miranda-class_ Light Cruisers (USS Reliant from *[ST(-02): The Wrath of Khan* (1982) *film]).* The _California_ UCs are the "workhorses" of Starfleet, not built for speed, firepower, &/or damage resilience, but for _Reliability._ 2. *_Breen Interceptors_** ~* Breen Interceptors are essentially Destroyers, swift and heavily armed. Breen Interceptors are moderately larger than the _Defiant-class_ Tactical Escort (USS Defiant), but just as swift and maneuverable despite the larger size. 2. (4:05) *_Texas-class_** Escort(?)* (USS Aledo)... - a.) (3:06, 3:15) ~ It is difficult to tell because of the chaos of battle and the changing camera angles, but it appears the USS Aledo to be smaller than the USS Cerritos, which would make sense since there is no crew. - b.) *'Escort'? ~* As said, the Breen Interceptors are roughly the size of the _Defiant-class_ Tactical Escort, and the _Texas-class_ appears to be a bit smaller than the Breen Interceptors. So for now, as of [LD 3x09], I am going with 'Escort'; until we get an official codification via *Memory Alpha Wiki* &/or *[Star Trek Online* (2010-present 2022) *MMO-RPG].* ;) Hope this helps explain/clarify. *:)*

The Texas class being basically sapient guns is...... appropriate.
Umm please don’t. Just the show for the show.
It’s a bit immature by the show’s writers doing the California vs. Texas thing. But for the most part this show has been very good.

@@IsaacBeImont except that is in reality California.
@@timesthree5757 honestly its both of em really
its basically do you want liberal hell or conservative hell because both are equally shitty
The Breen interceptors are incredibly high quality models compared to the usual art style and that looks really cool
Not to mention they’re actually REALLY competent for villains! How many times in trek do you see ships using PD and destroy torpedoes?
@@rightsideup6304 it’s weirdly insane lol
I absolutely love how LD handled the ship combat scenes. That breen torpedo impacting the front of the saucer section was epic. you could feel that impact.
I like the little touch that the Aledo never *quite* gets the hero music. It gets close several times, gives bits and pieces, but never completes it.
Breen captains like "Wtf is that!?" and the other officer just goes "Idfk"
if you pay attention it kinda sounds like they're saying that through a heavily garbled filter. 'What the hell is that?' and 'I don't know sir'
the breen stacked up for breach looks dope.

oh that makes sense. Peanut and Amigus are gonna steal those ships.
It’s Star Trek, of course the AI is going to go crazy and try to murder everybody that’s like the thing that AI does in Star Trek
@@comandantegorrion7271Data and the Voyager EMH is the exception
Turns out making space-faring guns have AI with murderous daddy issues is a recipe for disaster.
Sure, the show does a good job making the Breen look scary and badass, but Migleemo calling his Meema is just too funny. 🤣
And what’s more Carol knows who she is by name so this obviously isn’t the first time.
well i'm sure the doc just wants his mema to see him and be proud. plus its nice that he takes the time to call her.
Soooo... Starfleet did not learn from its previous disasters with automated ships, good to know...
That might tell us what the season finale is gonna be about.
This episode takes place 3 to 4 years from the Synth mars attacks in Picard
Perhaps the Synth attack is caused by the Badgey code?

The Tesla of starships
Means it works initially, but ends up turning and attacking you in the end, just like Tesla

The breen used that energy weapon to short out the Cerritos systems but not the Aledo? What's up with that?
They didn't get a chance
Captain Freeman is very intuitive.
Seriously, they left their Troi in charge? Short of a catastrophic emergency, that is plain unnaceptable.
THE BREEN!!
Breen ships, uniforms and helmets haven't changed in 20 years. Seems legit.
I have one foot in a transporter bay and the other in an X wing cockpit, so I gotta say; the breen and the new cannon deathtroopers really look smiliar, right? Am I the only one noticing? Garbled voice, green and dark aestehtic, the helmets....

why didn't the breen just transport abord as shields were down

Starfleet has kinda become really militant post Dominion war. Starships controlled by AI, have they learned nothing from the M-5 trials?
The Ultimate Computer
They covered the spread.
I feel sorry for those crew members that got incenorated.
Who did the Breen massacre?

Its about the size of an Ambassador class.
Yea the Texas class is about the size of the Defiant
good.. human is too precious to be wasted in some pointless space war

And then they should go back to your house and bang your mum like a salvation army drum.
