My CBS All Access stream cut off before the preview. Anyone have a link to watch the episode 6 preview?

Someone needs to sell me Starfleet pajamas.
Take my money right now
Now with rank insignia.
"I may be an Ensign on the bridge, but I'm always the Captain in bed. Rawr."
My guess is that they will use Starmets since he seems to them to be fine, although the final scene tells the viewers that he is probably not.
this must be when they started actually hiring dudes with red shirts....
I fucking hate everything and anything to do with Klingons and shifting appearances.
Did Stamets forget to turn off his holomirror?
Rainn Wilson is OK but I'd never guess he was Mudd if they didn't say it outright.
People are surprised that Stamets applied the DNA but it was foreshadowed in the last episode that he always wanted to converse with his shrooms. While it plugs him into the network I'm not quite sure how that allows him to navigate it.
I'm sure this probably marks me as a bad person but I hadn't noticed how much Tilly fills out her uniform.

Because they were showing a normal every day thing.
That makes no sense.
Maybe they aren't toothbrushes. Maybe that's a tool for 23rd century humans to express affection.
Yes, the scene all about oral hygiene
5/10
This was a close call, I made a decision to cancel CBSAA if this episode fell below 5/10 and it turned out to be the best episode yet. Interestingly enough it came after Orville's weakest episode and for the first time they almost tied in quality. So I guess I'm going to continue watching both for now.
I enjoyed the pace, a significant improvement on previous episodes, probably because we didn't get 20 minutes of mumbling "Klingons"
The science is still iffy, but at least it's been explained a tad bit better.
The characters are, I'm shocked to say, coming together. I still don't get a feeling of the crew as I have with every Trek series and my disdain for the michael-point-of-view has only been reinforced. I want to see the crew as a team and it's also time to kill off Michael and change POV to Lorca.
The Mudd scene was okay, which is substantially above of what I expected.
Still don't like the underlying long arc format, but it had a bit of an episodic feel to it, which is great. Overall it still feels like a StarTrek movie instead of an episode, which is not a good thing, I've always felt that movies were all worse than most of the episodes, but in STDs case it's a very slow dragged out movie.
StarTrek was often mediocre and STD achieving mediocrity with this episode is no small feat, I was pleasantly surprised.
I still can't imagine how and if STD is going to be able to pull off a great episode of 8/10 and above, but I saw a glimmer of hope in this one.
