Star Trek: Lower Decks
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2 Quotes
Freeman: Did someone buy an alien mood-altering plant on the station of something?
Mariner: Maybe everyone feels like they should know more about what's going on on the ship. Like need-to-know stuff that they don't know, y'know?
Unless we figure something out, first contact is gonna be us crashing into that planet. Okay, that's enough existential dread.
Captain Gomez
Mariner: I heard the captain's getting a promotion.
Boimler: Woah. Really? Good for her!
Mariner: Bad for us. I don't want a whole new captain. We could end up with some weirdo with a riding crop.
Ransom: Uh, this booth's full ensign.
Mariner: I get it. Yeah, I know, and you want to maintain the illusion of command.
Ransom: It's not an illusion. I'm your commander.
Tendi: I saw her delete me from the system.
Rutherford: What? No way! That's crazy. You're like the nicest person in sickbay.
Tendi: I don't think that Dr. T'Ana cares about being nice. She's more into hostility. Argh, I should've been more mean!
[crying] They always tell you not to get too attached to your ship, but how could you not?
Tendi
I know Cali class isn't afraid of getting its nacelles dirty. We just don't want multiple ships approaching at once, or the Laaperians might mistake first contact for a first invasion.
Captain Gomez
Boimler: Captain Freeman Day's only a week away! My decorations HAVE to be the best.
Rutherford: Isn't that a craft day for toddlers?
Boimler: Not anymore.
This is huge for your mom. She gets to dive into the unknown on a whole new ship! Gah, I never get to dive into unknowns.
Boimler
Boimler: Then we get to line up in the hallway, right? And then we all applaud while the captain walks off the ship for the last time.
Tendi: Oooh, that sounds great.
Mariner: It sounds like betrayal. But with clapping.
So you ARE leaving? Why didn't you tell us? You're lucky I'm so spiritually-centered, or I'd snap!
Shaxs
Freeman: You can't just bully your way into whatever you want. Why do you act like this?
Mariner: Because I'm a Kirk-style free spirit who kicks butt and super-intimidates people. You know that. That's why you've always protected me from being court-martialed
Freeman: You're not a Kirk. Kirk was confident.
Mariner: So am I!
Freeman: You used to be. But now the only thing you're confident of is that everything has to be a fight. You have to drop your defences and make some allies!
