TOS s2e9 “The Apple” and LD s4e2 “I Have No Bones, Yet I Must Flee”
So the title is based on a cyberpunk short story called “I have no mouth and i must scream”
There was a point and click narrative video game made based on it.
Rather dark story.
Did a quick dive and… fuck. Shit’s dark. Like, O’Brien level dark.
The best part of Lower Decks was all the little deep cut references to obscure concepts from old episodes. Especially referencing things from the Animated Series, which had introduced a lot of things that were never brought up again until Lower Decks.
Are we sure the bottom ones aren’t just Dulhanians from LD s3e2 “The Least Dangerous Game”?
Star Trek sure has a lot of ruddy blonde scantily clad alien species.
I get what you’re saying.
What tips me toward the TOS species is the purposeful presence of a child. That detail would likely not have been included if it were not on purpose.
Whoa I didn’t make that connection. Thanks!
I just noticed it myself during an all Romulan chronological run, but only after seeing that TOS episode the first time earlier this year. The reverence and attention to detail is astounding on LD.
Is that Mick Fleetwood in the last panel?
I was hoping someone would call that out. Thanks.
