Star Trek: Swimsuit Edition
Chris Fenoglio, artist who worked on the Lower Decks ongoing comic book series, recreated the iconic pin-up of X-Men in swimsuits for the Lower Decks crew. Even some non-crew got featured (to fully recreate every detail of the original).

Everyone has a crush on Tendi. Especially Rutherford.
Everyone on lemmy is Rutherford
Are you a masochist with a unusual amount of pain tolerance?
Do I have a Vulcan implant and one eye? Nope ❌
Am I a Filipino man? Yes ✅
🤷♂️ Close enough.
Everyone on Lemmy is what the result would be like if Rutherford and Boimler got Tuvix'd.
Rumler or Boimerford?
Just Boimford
Hard disagree.
Bradmanthan Rutherward.
Rutherler
I wish I was Rutherford. I'd be a guy that couldn't pass Starfleet Academy (not sure I'd even get in, they reject applicants right? I don't actually know)
Starfleet Academy is basically just going to higher education right? That's how I always saw it, you would complete your required education and then if you wanted you could go to university, and one of the options was Starfleet. So presumably anyone who graduates is essentially automatically eligible to join.
Presumably some people don't join though, they only go to the academy to learn how to be an engineer or a pilot and then go work on the civilian ship.
It has some sort of admissions lottery since we see wesley being rejected the first time he takes the test.
He wasn’t rejected. He failed the entrance exam. He was literally competing against multiple other people and didn’t score the highest. Not a lottery.
Go watch Orange River.
I get that it's a 'bit' and all but it has gotten to the point of creepy bullshit involving Tindi to the point of pure cringe.
What is Orange River? I can only find results for the river in Africa.

Generally a solid channel that's mostly star trek but has covered blade runner, halo, mass effect, and a few other things. It's simply the tendi bit that grates.
THIS IS AWESOME
Badgey in a speedo... lolllll... Tendi smokes.
Billups no! Stay away from that Horga'hn!
Was looking for the two in the back, than realized they are the dolphins.
Beluga whales, not dolphins.
Oh, right.
The Many and the One
Thanks I was wondering what the book Boims was holding was about. It’s a very nice touch.
I figured it was a memoir. Six month prior to this episode’s release, The Autobiography of Mr. Spock by Una McCormack had been published. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/577045/the-autobiography-of-mr-spock-by-una-mccormack/
It's (almost) Naked time!!!
(Yes I just watched this episode again)
That is ambiguous. You could be referring to three different episodes.
Ransome looks like he's pannicking. wonder why.
Also everything going on and Tindi just out there vibing.

OOooooo.
Yeeeaaaa. Ransom. Billups. Step away from the fertility idol.
Well the Risian seems to be shocking him.
I do not like the implications that Badgey wearing a budgie smuggler has.
This is specifically a homage to the X-Men swimsuit special. It would be only appropriate.
I see Horga’hn!
To the person who downvoted your comment:
It was probably that guy reading a book by the pool while still flashing his horga’hn.
Picard: This "whore gone" is defective.
I seriously wonder if he knows Riker asked him to get it as a prank.
I did not get the impression he did at the end of the episode, which is a definite "hilarious in hindsight" lol.
I love it ... and seeing how I always wanted to collect comics in the 90s as a teen but could never afford it, this is amazing.
The only thing lacking is the amount and prominence of torpedo breasts.
I would like to think we have evolved in our degeneracy over the decades since. Breasts of all shapes are to be appreciated.
Agreed ..... it was just a nostalgic thing. We analyzed those comic women like a science when I was in high school. We even studied among ourselves how to draw them. At first it was sexual (and it stayed that way with a lot of my friends) but a few of us became obsessed with trying to emulate the art style. Surprisingly it isn't easy to draw proportionally perfect body parts without making a character look weird or badly draw. The one thing it did teach me was to appreciate human anatomy more.
Oh it gets even worse when you're trying for dynamic poses and angles.
Glad to see love of comics sparked an attempt at getting artistic.
As someone who owned the original Marvel swimsuit comic, I approve.
Dr Katz should also be flexing :)
Also, who's Ransom with, and who are those three in the x-men universe? Don't recognize the woman next to Ice Man and the one riding Beast either.
