Star Trek Lower Decks: Shades Of Green In this episode of Make It So, we discuss the release of the new episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Joined by Baz Greenland, we explore storytelling techniques in modern and legacy Star Trek shows, compare Lower Decks to Prodigy, and reflect on arc structures from series like DS9, Buffy, and Doctor Who. We analyse the 'Shades of Green' episode, focusing on Tendi's storyline, her dynamic with her sister D'Erica, and the cultural tensions between Starfleet and Orion pirates. We delve into Starfleet ideals, Tendi's character development, and the post-scarcity world concept. The episode also highlights Boimler's leadership growth, his humorous mentoring attempts, and the challenges of balancing work and social life, with insights into Vulcan humour through T'Lynn. 00:00 Welcome to Make It So: Star Trek Legacy Podcast 01:06 Comparing Storytelling in Star Trek Series 04:29 The Evolution of TV Arcs and Cancellations 08:12 Tendi's Storyline and Character Development 22:17 Exploring Post-Scarcity Economics in Star Trek 27:40 Starfleet and Beyond: Exploring Federation Dynamics 27:56 Boimler's Growth and Leadership Journey 29:53 Boimler's Moustache and Leadership Challenges 31:37 Rutherford and T'Lynn: Character Development 32:34 Humour and Ineffectual Terrorists 41:24 Podcasting Plans and Future Projects Host/Editor Kurt North Guest Baz Greenland Make It So on socials: https://linktr.ee/makeitso Film Stories Twitter: @filmstories Facebook/Instagram/Threads: Film Stories Website: www.filmstories.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.
