A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.
If my memory is correct, this episode contained more than half of the scenes from the trailers, most of which were theorized to be from different episodes.
That leaves two possibilities:
-
this episode is the most interesting episode, which would be unfortunate but not unheardof for Paramount
-
the best is yet to come, and we have no idea what’s coming.
I choose to believe the second, for now, and I’m excited.
So, I used to work in TV marketing at the network level and I can tell you typically trailers are made up of the first three episodes or less. No real secret why though - usually the show is still working on the other episodes.
In one of the panels Anson Mount was saying that if you think the Lower Decks cross-over episode was the craziest thing they’ve done for season 2, we would be surprised what else to see, so yeah, I think we are in for a good treat.
