"Rikerised" Boimler doing a reverse Riker maneouver.... that is it ! no way they surpass that gag !
It was AWESOME!!!
I came here to see if anyone else noticed.
Can't believe they missed that!
@@madrabbit9007 Like, they showed the SCREENSHOT; think he just forgot to mention it?
@@EmperorSteele I think they just missed it but I bet the next video will get a mention on this.
Jack Quaid giving you a “latinum up” must have been so surreal! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Came here to write just that!
Bearded Boimler doing the Riker maneuver (putting his leg over the chair) was just chef's kiss.
I'm surprised that he didn't point it out.
BACKWARDS!!!! he did it backwards!!! Even more awesome!!!😂😂😂
I loved that backwards Riker! 10.0
Just watched episode and missed this, what time was the backwards Riker?
@@starhawke380 It's in this video at about 28:56, if that helps.
Dude, Tawney casually just dropping DS9 episode names is something I did not know I would appreciate about her. But really, there has been some real acid trip storytelling at times in Trek, and being so self-aware that is what Lower Deck's true strength of the show is getting to experace the truly wild and wacky shit you would never see an actor like Patric Stwart do in live action is the best. That really shows you have actor here who not only understand the material but want to love, respect and protect it.
Yeah Tawney is dang cool. I'm glad that whatever happens with Lower Decks going forward she'll at least stay involved with Star Trek through the Starfleet Acadamy show if in a different way.
There was a special she and Eugene Cordero did for Star Trek Day a few years ago where she knew *all* the _Trek_ lore (and he knew none). She's a hardcore Trekkie, and I love that about her.
I love the intro when they add EVERYTHING to that Borg fight! It's like "This is probably gonna be our last season! So we're gonna add EVERYTHING!"
Props to *Prodigy* too. It's also animated and a demonstration of younger folks making a difference in space. I love them both!🥰🖖
I loved this episode. I literally screamed about V-ger being in the intro.
That was marvelous. Love it so much
I noticed the green hand from Who Mourns For Adonais was new and missed V'Ger. It wasn't until the Ups and Downs I noticed it.
I always appreciate how positive this show is.
Dude you are just a hater. Discovery has its ups and downs like any other shows. He’s been doing this for years before they got cast recognition. He also genuinely likes Lower Decks. I genuinely like Lower Decks.
LOWER DECKS!! LOWER DECKS!!
TEAMWORK! SPIRIT! COMMUNITY!!!
LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS! ❤🎉

Animators: How many references do you want for the final season intro?
Mike McMahan: Yes.
I was surprised there wasn't a mention of the the Easter Egg of the actual fifth-season title card since it was prominently showed during the discussion about not skipping the intro. The reference is that the title logo now has those weird light streaks behind it just like the fifth season of TNG's intro had. So it's a very season 5 franchise-specific deep cut.
Yup yup, good eye 🖖
Season 5 and ONLY season 5. This is exactly what I came here to say.
Yup. The deep cuts are real.
Good eye. I thought there was something different but couldn't put my finger on it thanks for helping me figure it out
LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS!
GIVE US MORE SEASONS! GIVE US MORE SEASONS!
I can't believe Sean didn't notice Other Boimler doing the Riker maneuver, pretty sure his beard is a homage to Riker too.
Throwing rocks at starships?
Sean w/ the 1701 gripped by the green Apollo hand and "Star Trek is so stupid." made me do a spit-take. Absolutely! We love the silly, the dumb. The "Shatner Ham." We love it all. Welcome back Lower Decks, and thanks again to TrekCulture and Sean for the best recaps in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants!
As much as I love Lower Decks (and Trek in general), THIS is what I have been waiting for! UPS AND DOWNS! UPS AND DOWNS! UPS AND DOWNS!
"…I'm _not_ gonna cover up my insecurity by becoming a screaming despot. I'll just… I'll just be the kind of commander I wish I had."
That quote alone shows that Mariner's growth from Season 4 is going to stick. And I appreciate that.
Man, Lower Decks keeps giving us the most reverential experience of all of Star Trek while being as silly and irreverent as possible at the same time. The best of many worlds. These characters have earned their emotional connections to viewers, every single one. The writing, the acting, the support to make this a reality every season we've gotten, thank you all.
And, I can find no fault in every up and down Sean gave. On point.
I love that the verb "to Fairhaven" was instantly understood on first hearing it. That the outdoor sets for Fairhaven were reused for The Good Place is just a cool fun fact and seems somehow appropriate to me.
I did not know The Good Place used the Fair Haven sets. Eleanor Shellstrop would tell me I'm basic!
“I miss my wife” - one of my favorite LD quotes
William Shatner mispronounced the word Orion, that's the origin.
Noelle is so much cuter irl than Tendi 😍🥰❤️
I definitely related to what Rutherford said. After my dad passed away, my boss offered me a leave of absence, and I preferred to keep working so that I have something to focus on.
"Alright. You can be crummy Universe A, and we'll be Universe 1." -Turanga Leela
Or, "The Mongooses" is a cool team name... "The Fighting Mongooses!"
Yes! 😂😂
"What in the Kzinti f**k" had me laughing out loud and I completely missed the rest of the quote 😂
Sean I simply love your enthusiasm and energy when you're presenting. It always brings a smile to my face.
My favorite part of the Vulcan salute scene was Mariner says almost verbatim what her mom said to her when she did it in season 1.
so much of today has been spent refreshing YT waiting for this...
a life well spent
I was almost as excited for the ups and downs as i was for the premiere itself. I watch them immediately after every elisode
I can’t say enough about how excited I was to see what they did with the opening titles this season. It did not disappoint, from the TNG Season 5 “Superman” streaks on the actual title to the VERY packed space battle. I didn’t even pick up on the whole V’ger “blaster beam” sound right at the end of it until the second episode! Genius!🤣👏Special mention to the little background thing after the initial meeting with the two Cerritos crews. While Mariner and “Becky” are talking in the corridor, the two T’Anas are behind them, hissing and screeching at each other before chasing each other angrily.😾🤣👏
We’ve reached the point in the existence of Lower Decks where its own previous episodes are now the references it is lovingly calling back to with its Easter eggs.
So much better than screen crush…it’s a breath of fresh air when RUclips presenters enjoy the content!!!
The Lower Decks credits are now using the TNG season five effects with the streaking letters.
Also, no upvote for Other Boimler's reverse Riker maneuver?
Cetation Observation: I cannot believe you didnt point out the Riding crop is the call back to Mariner complaining about substitute captains might be some weirdo with a riding crop. Which itself was a reference to Captain Styles from ST3.
As a fan since the beginning TOS, I love all the callbacks and easter eggs from the series. Boimler is my favorite character!
This is the greatest show for us old school Trek fans!
The slightly darker uniforms was a smart touch.
“Animators are wizards”
Yes. Yes they are.
Signed an animation editor.
Thank you for what you, and many more animation teams create. Art that takes us on a journey, it can make us laugh, and cry 🖖
I always watch Lower Decks with my youngest brother. We rarely skip the into sequence. Especially not on a new season.
Futurama proves that with a dedicated fan base NO series death is ever final!
Boimler with the "Riker"Beard, gold
Lower Decks was the arrival of fire engine co. #1 to the dumpster fire that was the year 2020 for me. I remember watching the original trailer three times in a row and before I knew it, this show had become (and still is) my second favorite Trek after TOS. "It's five year mission, to boldly go..."
Rutherford not asking for consent was reminder/callback I felt to Tendi not asking for permission when trying to get fix Rutherford. Get's an Up for me not a down.
give an up for the shirt with the best star trek pickup line ever
Sean rocks some awesome shirts!
The intro battle is epic. Each season they keep adding more stuff, and this season they added ALL the stuff! The giant green hand, V'Ger, and the Tholians made me crack up, and that is on top of everything else that was already there (and i'm sure I missed something!)
Blink-and-you-miss-it: there was a Breen ship chasing a Klingon bird of prey.
@@Bil-k8c yep... i blinked. Now I have to look for that one!
I am SO happy that Lower Decks is back! Can’t wait for Upper Decks season 1!
I don’t want Lower Decks to end 😢. It’s my favorite of the streaming era of Treks. Could easily go for 10 seasons!
I think the most batshit crazy thing about Lower Decks in general is that because this is an actual Paramount production, everything that happens in the show is CANON 😂
Crossover to SNW = automatic canon! (I mean, if ST V is canon...)
Ngl, I was waiting to see what gets added into the intro battle and my expectations were surpassed. They went all in with it
The whale probe in the opening as well was brilliant haha.
The whale probe was in last season also
@kwachter74 Just me being blind lol
Yeah! The Riker Maneouver! I only noticed it in the Cetacean Observations in the screen shot that was placed when Sean mentioned Boimeler takes command of his ship for the arrested of the captain. The leg over the chair image. Cheers to you all, loving trek, loving lower decks, and loving trekculture….. this from a Star Wars fan!!!! Haha.
the Intro feels like they packed everything they were going to load into the intro as the show went on. Mariner's shout 'of BECKETT!' WAS SO MUCH LIKE Carols shout in the same situation earlier. i am so sad this is the end of the series but i am glad we get a final season.
The way Sean kept saying (TAS) Orions, was waiting for a mention of the two known El-Aurians, Guinan and Dr Soran.
you guyz should know, I enjoy these videos as much as the show itself! Thanks for bring some joy into our lives!
Anyone else notice the title of Lower Decks Season 5 matches the title of TNG Season 5 with the animated streaks? LOVE IT!
One other "Observation": ...when Prime Captain Freeman asks where her counterpart is, Otherverse Ransom simply says, "It's really nice to see you again." ...that is TOTALLY a reference to TNG's "Parallels" where Parallel Captain Riker says the same thing to Prime Captain Picard over the viewscreen.
For me the opening credits Borg Battle Royale deserves the Latinum UP!
I hadn't considered the negative aspect of Rutherford turning Otherford's emotions back on. Sure, it worked out for the best in the moment but you are right. A radical change to a person's mind without consent is both uncool AND has possible unforseen consequences.
I also didn't think of it as a negative until Sean gave it a down (and his perfectly logical reasoning). And that kind of bothers me. I should have realized it was a question of consent. Now this is not an excuse or me trying to make myself feel better, but LD is such an upbeat and funny show that I guess I wasn't even in the right mindset to see any negatives of that magnitude.
I’ve loved every episode of Lower Decks.
This was an awesome episode. A very good start to the season.
I cannot believe you missed Boimler doing the Riker Maneuver when he went to take over captaining the other Cerritos! I have never laughed so hard!
He did it in ST:SNW too 😆
I can't describe how much I enjoy this show! I bought all 4 finished seasons on digital, and will buy season 5 when it is available!
The Reverse Riker Maneuver killed me.
I loved how at the end, on the Other ship: "Boimler, you're acting captain" has him doing The Riker Maneuver over the chair to stand up.
Im loving this season so far!!
One thing I think you missed is the confirmation that the 'Mariner' is indeed Beckett's middle name.
I loved the crossover, too, we got to know the actors behind the voices. I loved everything about this show and I was a StarTrek fan from the beginning (TOS). More PLEASE!
I laughed so hard at Boimler doing the reverse-Riker. I can't believe Shaun didn't mention it 🤣 I literally noticed it straight away and screamed out "Riker!"
I'm SO glad lower decks is back! Love the show. Great video you're a great, and funny presenter. Love the video!
We all have a place in our hearts for Lower Decks ❤❤
It’s my favorite Star Trek series and that’s coming from a formerly preferred deep space nine fan
The opening battle... as I started the opening and remembered to look out for the new thing, the idea of the giant ship-grabbing hand did occur to me! But I discounted it becauae we had the giant ransom hands in 2x01. Then I was marvelling at the Tholian web so much I didn't even notice V'Ger!
The Orion vessel also looks like the D'Var from Those Old Scientists, which was honestly the most beautiful version of that ship to date.
so happy to be watching your ups and downs again! I've missed you!
Loved the "warp effect" on the logo for season 5. Great Easter egg!
My theory is that Becky is the version of Mariner who kept the season one promotion and got promoted to Lieutenant Commander in season two. We've seen that a Lieutenant Commander can jump straight to captain, so she probably would have been being offered a small command (like a tiny science vessel) when her mom got into trouble and assumed command of Cerritos instead. I presume Ransom didn't get promoted because he was neck deep in whatever shenanigans got Carol sent to Starbase 80 and was only saved from a similar fate because Becky chose to keep him on as her first officer.
It’s back! I’m so happy it’s back! I’m so happy you’re happy it’s back! I’m happy we get to do Ups & Downs again because IT’S BACK! 😃
@12:20 You mentioned the Shaxses complimenting each other without the contrast of the T'Anas hissing at each other. It was so perfect.
I loved it when Becky Freeman did the exact same sarcastic Vulcan salute 🖖 as Beckett Mariner when she did it to her mom in season 1, and Beckett responded the same way.
Someone else mentioned it in a reply but a lot of people have missed in the Intro Battle: A Breen Interceptor chasing a Klingon Bird of Prey. They fly by in the foreground right to left, then you can see them reappear way in the back as the Cerritos turns to leave.
Anyone else noticed that since Ransom asked if Boimler drinks alot of coffee, Boimler is always seen drinking coffee in 10 forward?
I love the "slightly darker shade of red" for the uniforms
Jack Quaid likes animation? One of us! One of us!😮😮
So glad I got my Cerritos Eagle moss ship from its liquidation sale!!!
Another awesome breakdown as usual! Live long and Prosper...Lower Decks, Lower Decks!
After season 4 began with the horrendous "Twovix" we got a damned good opening with "Dos Cerritos." It's a shame that, for all intents and purposes, Lower Decks will be signing off after this season though, if such is the case, I like to think it is better for a show to sign off with you wanting more than to keep going along until you feel it has worn out its welcome.
I raise a glass to the USS Cerritos and say "thank-you."
I don't really know what more I can say which hasn't already been said, but a huge thank-you also to Sean for being the best damned host of these Ups & Downs. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to deliver these breakdowns and interpretations, especially when the opinions shared aren't the most popular, and Sean has done so magnificently. I second the latinum Up.
Didn’t know how much I’ve missed Sean. Yay!
Oh no! You forgot the dancing Orion! I loved that part. You are forgiven as I love your Ups and Downs.Oh yeah! And the little third Otherford hand!
I love the GIANT green space hand on the Borg cube😃
Lower Decks is by far my favorite Star Trek show.
Lower Decks and Prodigy both have demonstrated how much Star Trek benefits from animation. You can do all sorts of things that would be prohibitively expensive, difficult or impossible in live action. Things that were always supposed to be there, but we rarely if ever actually saw. Just the variety of aliens alone makes it worthwhile.
Not to take shots at the legacy actors, and not singling out which have or haven't aged well, but with animation we can see how the characters aged as opposed to how the actors aged (Voyager actors on Prodigy, DS9 on Lower Decks). If only Star Wars could have benefited from that in some way. I'm sorry but Picard (the show) and the Disney trilogy was a bit sad and distracting. Not quite as bad as Helen Hunt in the new season of Mad About You (go ahead, rip me a new one for my comments about... well all these iconic actors, I don't, don't deserve it).
I don't know how I missed the fact that the Cerritos design for Otherverse is also different (specifically in the nacelle design, at least I think so?) until watching this. Wild.
I love "The Riker Manuver" that Boimler did when he got up from his chair when he said "I'm on it!"
Literally me during the opening credits battle "Oh, we got Klingons now, and OH MY GOD THE HAND... AND V'GER... AND THOLIANS!? AHHH!!!"
The Orion ship resembles the one in Those Old Scientists closer, but yes both are derived from the TOS Remastered one
my favorite part of new seasons is seeing what they added to the borg fight 😁
A friend of mien got me the Enterprise/Green Hand ornament. It's just awesome.
I WILL CONFESS! of all the StarTrek "series" , Lower Decks is my favorite!!
When the two Cerritos's first meet each other is clearly looks like that TNG episode with the other enterprise
The two connected Cerritos reminded of the ST TAS story Time Trap with the Enterprise and the Klode class Klingon ship, the Klothos...
Lower decks so epic, and didn’t need special effects the animation was amazing.
Boimler pulling a Riker with the chair… loved it.
I ❤ how she referenced DS9, not once, but twice, so close together.
I missed the V'Ger cameo in the Borg battle! LMAO!!!
(edit)
Also, I don't know if this would be an Easter Egg but when the beginning starts with "yet another spatial rift" and Mariner calling them space pot holes, it made me think back to a TNG episode where some scientist is trying to alert the powers that be that gallavanting around at high warp speeds is wearing thin reality in certain places and Picard later says that Starfleet has limited ships to a maximum of warp 5. I have to now wonder if these spatial pot holes are a reference to that episode only Starfleet knows how to patch them.
On the 'Orion' and 'Orion' naming, lots of fun around the world with this. I imagine its they are from the Orion Nebula or something, but irl on Earth we have Turkey/Turkiye, Czech Republic, Czechia, and other places divided by history and language tweaks ever so slightly, such as N and S Korea.
I do actually wanna see the mirror universe version of our Cerritos crew…. And have it be nothing like what the characters or most of the audience expect.
Instead of a comically evil Imperial ship, the Cerritos is a battered and falling apart rebel ship populated by equally battered former slaves fighting desperately for liberation from the Alliance, aided by a Shax who took sympathy for their plight despite his people’s loyalties (or maybe he’s evil and hunting them down)
The crew are faced with versions of themselves that sure, have some funny inverted quirks, but for the most part have been through absolute hell. Maybe our crew is distrustful of them and expecting a betrayal, only to be proven wrong. Maybe Mirror Mariner snaps at the prime universe crew and gives them some cold reality along the lines of “we don’t just sit here and twirl our mustaches all day, we have our own lives. We don’t exist just to make you feel better about how heroic you are.”
Finally I can see the whole shirt, and its awesome.
The Latinum Up for me was Quaid having done the research and knowing who he was being interviewed by. 10/10!
I loled during the intro when V'ger showed up, trying to remember if they talked about the Orions in TOS anywhere other than Journey to Babel and The Menagerie/Cage
