They are the perfect villains for Starfleet's 'less-than-best.'

I don't have a big enough helmet for that.
Did this episode not address your exact criticisms from the previous post though? There was clear character movement/ development, Tendy went a little awol, and Mariner was shown to definitely not be a burnham.

Great episode, I enjoyed some good laughs. Couple of good digs at Riker, thought the nano bot spill was going to result in something worse as a throw back too.

WTF is up with the borg-pakled-klingon-romulan battle royale from the intro now?

when Rumdar asked for a tour of the crimson force field, the episode could have just ended there and I would have been satisfied.

Ya, I watch it the first time on all shows. That's good enough for me.

Lol!

Yeah...welcome to Starfleet.

I am shocked that Lower Decks brought back the down syndrome aliens. It seemed not cool in 1990, but now. Wow!

I love that they're willing to go there, to point out the absurdities of Star Trek's 'lore' (not Lore... you know what I mean).

The multicultural lower decks episode was hilarious.

That was the most lower deck episode yet of Lower Decks, and probably one of the best of the series. They've really seemed to have found a groove now vs the first season

The first season took some time to find its feet, but that last episode was hilarious! I loved it!

It was all great. The concept of a 'Bridge Buddy' is hilarious.

I don't like having a sympathetic bridge crew. I liked it better when they were a collective of d-bags.

The Borg lower deck crew during the closing credits was the best.

I was going to say that, just because I just kept waiting for something to happen. I was wondering if the voice actors that played the other lower decks crews were the same as the main cast because that would be brilliant.

That one space battle was better than all of the battles in Discovery and Picard combined. The best part about Lower Decks is that I always feel like I’m getting rewarded for being a longtime Star Trek fan. The other series seem determined to punish me for it.
