- QuizLycia Naff provides the voice of Captain Sonya Gomez, having earlier played the role in two second season episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). In those episodes, Ensign Gomez is a rookie engineering officer aboard the Enterprise-D.
- BlooperCaptain Freeman says that she will tell sickbay to "brace for hangovers." Starships in the late 24th century serve synthehol, which does not cause hangovers.
However, the celebrations mentioned would be planetside. The Laperians probably still ingest alcohol, which is what would cause real hangovers.
- Citazioni
[Tendi & Rutherford are waiting for Boimler to surface from the Cetacean Ops officers' water tank]
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: He should have come up already.
[Matt & Kimolu, two cetaceans, bring an unconscious Boimler up from the bottom of their tank]
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: Boimler!
Lt. (j.g.) Kimolu: [squeaking] He's not breathing!
Lt. (j.g.) Matt: [squeaking] His blowhole's broken!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: He's in arrest!
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford: We have to get him to sickbay!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi: There's no time!
[She starts CPR on Boimler]
Lt. (j.g.) Matt: [squeaking] Don't let him dry out!
Lt. (j.g.) Kimolu: [squeaking] Spray him with water!
With Boimler (Jack Quaid) reassigned to the USS Titan, the remaining crew of Lower Decks are getting used to life without him, but his time on board Will Riker's (Jonathan Frakes) all action Starship is a stressful change of pace. The Cerritos becomes embroiled in the politics of the planet Pakled, negotiating a ceasefire whilst dealing with a spy and later discovering that the leadership has been supplied Veruvian bombs by a third party and intend to use them in a war against Earth.
As I say, the second season is better than the first because they've settled into the tone of the show now. They've arrived on affectionate parody, which is probably the sweet spot. The episodes have genuine stories to them, that from another point of view would be series - but is undercut by a sense of humour. The series also likes a deep cut reference. The Tom Paris one is fairly standard, but I did not remember who Sonya Gomez was, and had to google that one when it was clear I wasn't getting the joke. Bringing Alice Krige back for a single short scene as the Borg Queen was a nice touch too as well as a non-Star Trek but still in-joke of having June Diane Raphael voice the mother of Paul Scheer's Billups character.
I still don't feel that the series has crossed the barrier from good, to great and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't already a "Star Trek" fan, but I'll be back for the third run.
