@ValueSubtracted I know it’s a minor point and there’s not a lot to be done about it but Boimler is one of the shortest main Trek characters and Jack Quaid just towers over everyone else on the Enterprise.
Just finished this episode and it may be the best of the season, and thats not saying much. I love lower decks, its what got me to watch and fall in love with TOS and SNW season 1 was just god tier. this entire season has been joss whedon story telling with the females just harping on pike and spock at their expense. the actors, the production, the characters its all there...the writing just didnt show up to this season at all. at least, i think so.
I didn't really want to post this, because I think it's unnecessarily negative and people here seem to enjoy it.
But now that the cat's out of the bag... I hate this type of humour so much. I feel like too much of it has already spilled into SNW, it makes it a difficult watch at times. The episode before last, for example.
