Rutherford tries to impress Tendi while Mariner and Boimler help out an old friend. Join your holodeck-wary hosts as they discuss the varied philosophical foundations for justifying rule-breaking in Starfleet, debate the value of character development versus creative plotting, and bask in the reflective glory of an unseen chu-chu dance.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: Boimler goes through an awkward phase in his life in ‘Much Ado About Boimler’ – the seventh episode of Lower Decks’ shenanigan-filled first season!

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
