I believe you're thinking of Slusho. That's the JJ 'shared universe' drink. Slug-o is very much of DS9 origin.

How is going through the data up to that point not related to finding those two?
It's clearly stated that Zora is already tracking Moll and L'ak, so there was no need for Rayner to do it. He was doing it to avoid the crew and because he was avoiding working through and accepting his demotion.
And again, Rayner has dealt with them before and has better insight on those two than a machine that has never actually encountered them before. His knowledge of them is absolutely a resource. And there definitely was a need for him to be there.
If it was really about tracking Moll and L'ak, there's no reason he couldn't have done it from a station on the bridge, or assist Zora by providing his knowledge of Moll and L'ak's behaviour. He does none of those things and instead locks himself away in a science bay. And in the end his efforts were kinda useless, because Zora was accurately tracking Moll and L'ak and knew where they were long before Rayner did. He just didn't want to interact with crew and this was his excuse.
Yes, that's it. Slurp
It's the weakest of season 3 but I wouldn't go that far.
Picard didn't do all his work, analyzing, and thinking on the bridge. Neither did Sisko. Or Janeway. Or Data. Or Chakotay. Or Tuvok. Or Riker.
Him working in private makes sense. There might also be information that he has access to, by way of subspace, that others on the bridge are not cleared to see or hear. He has been on seven red directive missions and been the lead on 4 of them, and given the high clearance necessary just to be even involved in it, the best thing he could have done was go over the data in private.
And he likely has not worked with a computer like Zora before, so he wouldn't be telling it what he knows because as far as he knows, it's a machine that is there simply to provide the data, while he goes over it and thinks. I see no problem with that.
Wow, really enjoyed this!
* We need somebody to post Pundus images with class/registry numbers of the Starfleet ships at HQ, like PIC did.
* I enjoyed the household drama of T'Rina and Saru. It made my chuckle on the inside because I imagined it as a modern version of those 1980s family/couch comedy series.
* I only noticed on the screencaps that we don't see space ships after traveling to Trill.
* The breakup between Adira and Gray hit right at home. Adira carried Gray within them and ensured they'd get back to life. Now Gray is done with both Adira and Tal (who doesn't get mentioned, ever) and off to do his own thing. I remember breaking up with somebody I had moved mountains for, hoping they'd say "oh no, we gotta try to make it work!". Instead they weren't committed anyway and just waiting for it to end.
* Enjoyed Jinaal as a person. Whimsical, not-so-cynical, personable - very Trilllike.
* I think I like this episode even better than 5x01 and 5x02!

He didn't want to engage with the crew. which was evidenced by the whole scene at the end where he finally decides to actually break the ice and spend time with them. Chasing after Moll and L'ak was just an excuse.
I'de be a dick too if I was sent to work with that lot.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
Those transporters are amazing insta-teleportarion devices...until they're not.
In three episodes, we've seen them stymied by rocks and...sand. Just sand.
1000 years of progress undone by sand. Anakin was right!
I have only been talking about the utility of him going through the data. We have seen him as very mission driven, and going after those two is the mission. So of course he will prioritize that over getting to know the crew.
I never said he was fine with getting to know the crew... and that has nothing to do with what I am talking about. I simply am saying he put the mission first and is made the priority over getting to know the crew.
So while that may seem like just an excuse, it really isn't.
After the Sandman encounter they are more hesitant.
He really ought to have been working with a team, but in the end, he has the leverage to determine how to use his time, not Tilly. in the end, this is one of those Jellico moments: he sounded like a dick about Troi's uniform, but he was correct.
Kovich must have stressed to them the importance of NOT transporting when surrounded by sand or rocks or, maybe like flys. They could get caught up in the transporter beam and merge with the user. Kovich is an expert on this.
Wait ‘til you’re pushing 80!
