I'm giving it a 9 just for Jeffrey Combs alone. I enjoyed his attempts to "re-animate," the shuttlecraft. ;)

I'm giving props to Boimler for starting to come into his own here. First for wanting to be part of Ransom's giant centipede mission, and then for putting one over on Mariner (Physically and Mentally) for letting her and Agamus think that he was manipulated by Agamus, only to be connected to the dimmer switch and used to send out a distress call. Boimler has always been a competent Starfleet officer; In Temporal Edict he was able to take on a group of those crystal guys singlehandedly while still completing his assignments on time. He's come a long way since Envoys where he was ready to quit Starfleet.

Is Mariner still going to therapy, she needs to put some work in on her abandonment or whatever issues she's still holding on to. I get it, he went to the Titan, but he got transporter duplicated and now he's back. Just be happy your friend is back. and quit trying to mother hen him.

They kept the fan service to a minimum this week, which was good, I think Data's head was the only thing they mentioned. and I agree that doing the Kirk style circular logic on the computer may have been too much fan service, I liked how the outcome turned out.

I was saying a few weeks ago, that we need more Billups, and we got more than we expected. Did not expect the Troi/Luaxana angle. I liked that the Cerritos crew were basically, Ok she's back, you know what to do here people

Are these humans that settled their own LARPing world? Or are they their own thing? They just like to make everything sound like magic. LOL Kinda reminds me why I don't get into things like Game of Thrones. Though, that female Knight/guard that was going to be part of the Billups three-way...Nice!

Billips...still a virgin, I get the whole reasoning why. Is that a subtle jab at Laforge for all of his unfortunate dating attempts? Geez Geordi, you knew Dr Brahams was coming over, clear your browser history.

Starfleet on a giant bug mission, Hmm I'd like to know more. ;)
 
One thing I will say for the writing staff of this show - they do a pretty good job of telling 2 running plots to satisfactory endings in 22 minutes <--- And that's not easy.
indeed. I’m convinced they actually employ a time-dilation device that allows them to cram 40+ minutes in 22.

That and having characters speak at 2x.

TOS where they'd find a gangster planet or Nazi planet that somehow developed naturally.
those didn’t.

The rome planet, on the other hand…and those two planets with copies of the Earth cultures, down to the flags and, in one case, the continents…
 
The side profile of the Queen's ship almost looks like the Orville :whistle:

Well
9k.png

And somehow twice as attractive. :cool:
 
That was my thought, too, though I could have done without the "hurr, hurr, Ren Faire nerds are virginal losers" angle. (Seriously, if he manages to have sex he automatically becomes king? Come on.)

Gepard, not a Ren Faire guy but respects the enthusiasm.
Huh? The Ren Faire folks seem to like having a lot of sex. Billups was the anomaly in their culture. He wasn't a Ren Faire nerd. And I'm pretty sure people get laid at Ren Faires.
 
This one was okay, but really not my cup of tea. I gave it a 4/10.
2 of those are for Jeffrey Combs, who is always awesome.
 
A human-derived star-nation independent of the Federation, governing itself as though a riff on the SCA. Makes me wonder how long ago Hysperia started out. Certainly, they must be as old as the colonies in the Alpha Centauri system...?
 
It could be a 22nd century Earth colony that retreated to a medieval or Renaissance kind of lifestyle but used modern technology. Early human colonies of the Warp Era aren't that well known and even Zefram Cochrane relocating to Alpha Centauri was expanded upon only in non-canon novels and reference books. The Vega Colony gets only a few mentions in "The Cage(TOS)" and ENT and we never see it.
