I liked the little look into the lower decks of the Orions, especially the plagiarism line; but the mysterious ship is getting less mysterious in the not-so-fun way.
Boimler and Rutherford are absolute dweebs. It was different having such a low stakes B-Plot. I feel like their story was missing a little something though. Still good fun.
Really enjoyed the A-Plot. Tendi does such a great job balancing being sunshine and rainbows and underworld assassin. I’m a little surprised her ride home wasn’t stolen/stripped for parts.
It was weird seeing T’Lyn, not just admit, but volunteer that she was friends with Mariner and Tendi. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a Vulcan do that. I mean, sure Spock and Tuvok have admitted they were friends with their respective captains, but only ever in some form of private non-sexual intimacy. But, as established, T’Lyn is a rebel, so it somehow fits her really well.
I'd like to see T'Lyn go more and more renegade through association with the LD crew just eroding her Vulcan discipline. Then have her parents show up and accuse her of acting like a Romulan or something.
Oh that's absolutely perfect. I'd love that at the end of this season or the start of the next.
T'Lyn is fitting in perfectly. The way she deadpanned "losing" her notes and then immediately explained her choice as a straightforward matter of ethics was fantastic.
Fifth most powerful family in the Orion crime syndicate. The people who are above Tendi in the social hierarchy don't need it, those below probably like living.
What was revealed about the ship? It always does the same thing.
That it's not immediately blasting every ship it comes near. It was either oblivious to the Orions' presence or ignoring them outright, until they were foolish enough to threaten it.
