Kinda weird to have Tendi suddenly so friend-thirsty for T'Lyn one episode after they did an adventure together and it never came up.

I dunno, it fits with her general character.

I loved this episode, but then I've been loving this whole season. The sneaky Romulan joke really landed with me. Was a little surprised that Caitians used to eat Betazoids, although that means a whole 'nother branch of fetish fuel for a certain community. Expect even more Dr. T'ana fanart.

This episode overall struck a great balance of funny and heartwarming. I'm loving the dynamic between Mariner and T'lyn. That Mariner Eyebrow Raise was Chef's Kiss.

Is that your way of saying, ''it kind of came out of left field?''

Is there some joke or reference I'm missing out on?

Me too.
I got nothing to say here.

In other Lower Decks stuff the most recent Very Short Treks about Holograms is actually worth a watch.

Though I can't believe I'm saying this, and it might be heretical to say such a thing on this forum, but I think it would have been better if it had ended on Neelix :D

Apparently a lot of reviewers are missing out on the neurodivergent angle of this episode. Did that seem as obvious to everyone else as it was to me?

Certainly seen a whole bunch of other people pick up on that so they all saw it as a theme too.

Seems par for the course for most reactionary leaning Trek fans.
