MODERATORS
@Donebrach @Madison_rogue And they better hurry. You never know when Paramount might just arbitrarily decide to remove the ability to watch it.
Yo ho ho, mateys! Never let corpo greed hold you back! 🦜
@Piecemakers3Dprints The crossover ep isn't available in port yet. I'll drown my sorrows with grog until the morrow.

Well, as it happens Crave customers in Canada have only until July 31st.
After that, it will only be available on the CTV Sci-fi channel - at least until its new Canadian streaming home is officially announced.

And what of us who need more Lower Decks?! 😭💀
There is a Lower Decks comic series with the same art style. You could read those.

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I would have waited until Thursday to watch it if I hadn't seen this here.
Not to be one of those people that yaps on about that aggregator site that makes money leaching off of content provided and moderated by users or anything, but this would be my first instance of hopping onto something posted to the Fediverse that was unexpected and awesome and so much fun!
I'd have dully waited until Thursday, too.
Holy shit, thank you!
Definitely a treat! You're welcome!
I love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.
This show was great, this season is amazing.
HYPE
It was so hyped for so long. I was beginning to fear that it couldn't possibly live up to expectations.
I was pleasantly surprised.
How important is it that I see Lower Decks first? I keep hearing good things about it, and I will get to it eventually, but I'm not familiar with it at all beyond the premise.
Haven’t seen it so I can’t say for sure, but I would at least watch a few episodes to get to know the characters. You may end up getting hooked and binging it, it’s a great show.
@Fuzzy_Dunlop
It's more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you'd probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn't written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.
I'd also like to know if there are specific Lower Decks episode(s) that should be watched first to fully appreciate the crossover.
Almost every anachronistic reference the Lower Decks characters make are references you'd catch from DS9, TNG, or Enterprise. You probably won't enjoy the campy silliness as much as fans of Lower Decks, but it's a great episode regardless of the crossover.
None. If you haven’t watched it it’ll make you watch it
I have watched a chunk of the first season, but for some reason it didn't click for me. Which is weird because I love The Orville. Loving Strange New Worlds so I'm looking forward to this.
It gets better, they were still finding their stride in the first season.

What?!? Hell yes! Just about to start my weekend and the wife is out watching Oppenheimer. This season kinda started off sluggish with the opener, but every episode since has been solid
This is one of the rare times that I wish we had Star Trek on Paramount+ in Canada.
I guess we’ll just have to wait until Thursday.
FWIW, "this episode is live on Crave," someone noted at: https://startrek.website/post/460864
We’ve got CTV Sci-fi channel which means our other Trek content won’t be vanishing in August.
Who knows, perhaps CTV will add it ‘On Demand’ early.
~~Space~~ CTV Sci-Fi has a "special presentation" on the schedule tonight - I'm guessing it's this episode.

This episode was amazing.
Agreed, it was so much fun!
This season has been great, but I have been hanging for this episode!!
From someone who hasn't watched any Lower Decks - that was absolutely fantastic. Felt like great Trek mixed with the Orville :)
Geez, go watch lower decks.

I'm locking this because it's turning into an episode discussion, and we already have one of those.
That's awesome!
Since it came out early, does that mean there will be no new episode this coming Thursday, or will the season end earlier than it was going to?
It appears that episode 8 will drop next week given Subspace Rhapsody, episode 9, is announced for August 3rd.
Which does make for an earlier end to the season m.
I don’t suppose anyone knows how I can watch it in Japan without making like an Orion?
As this episode will remind you, it's rude to assume all Orions are pirates.
Some of them haven't been pirates for at least five years!
Wholesome, fuzzy and (somewhat) plausible, Worf's Honor! :)
I loved that they drew the intro!
Kudos, kudos, kudos.
