I imagine Boimler will be back as a lieutenant on the Cerritos.

Also of note: Admiral Picard was pictured with Baby Thad on the Titan in 2381 (according to background sources). Are we going to see this in action? Is Boimler taking that picture? McMahan hinted that we would see some references to STPicard in the future, and that could be one of them.

Well that made the Vulcan chick's antagonism with Mariner all kinds of interesting.

I mean, I figured she was. I just don't care.
To be fair, there are a couple of instances where Mariner remarks that another woman is hot. For me, that wasn't really enough to make the determination that she's bi, but there is at least something already there for the writers to build on.
I KNEW IT! Mariner is confirmed bi!‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ EP Mike McMahan On That TNG Cameo and LGBTQ Characters in Season 2

They could've done more. They could've made her a little more flirtatious with Captain Ramsey. They could've tossed in some strategically naked women in the Olympics gymnasium. They could've had her talk about how attractive she found Deanna Troi (oh wait, they did).
Maybe they were just being careful for the first season, and the second season will be a little more "bold" in its portrayal of non-straight sexuality. Maybe she and Jennifer can hit it off for a few episodes.

Maybe there will be no romance.
LOL at how well Lower Decks is doing international even though it is not officially released. CBS really dropped the ball here.
I love how in the season finale:
1) The show paid homage to TAS by showing Kirk and Spock in a picture, and the art style in that picture was straight out of TAS!
2) The Titan crew was still wearing First Contact/Insurrection/Nemesis uniforms and combadge. Up until now I've always wondered if, once Starfleet issues new uniforms for all Starfleet personnel, they all had to start wearing the new uniforms at the same time or if they just said "Everyone has to start wearing the new uniforms by so-and-so date" (I'm not counting variations of the same uniforms, like the turtleneck versions of the TNG uniforms as seen in DS9 seasons 1-3). Now I have my answer. I know it's a minute thing to wonder, but I love small things like that.
Also I just wanna say one more thing: even though I now think this show is canon, I still think that if another Trekkie told me that a certain Trek show or movie wasn't canon to them but that they had no problem with anyone who thinks all Trek shows and movies were canon I would just say "Cool. You do you." I certainly wouldn't get on their case about it. Live and let live, I say. If some rando thinks that something isn't canon to them and no one else then what's the big deal? If they were acting obnoxious and going around and saying that everyone else is wrong except them then that would be a different story. But I wasn't doing that.

The difference is that we don't get to define canon. Different continuity? Sure. Canon is CBS defined.
DS9 already showed us that uniforms can vary between assignments. When Sisko was temporally reassigned to Earth, he switched to the later TNG series uniform.
He was also wearing the TNG uniform at the start of 'Emissary Part 1', and switched to the DS9/VOY uniform sometime during the 2 episodes.
Although the badge difference is a bit odd. Everyone switched to the TNG movie badge at the same time I'm pretty sure.

Yeah I think the topic of multiple uniform versions has been well established throughout decades of canon and quite equally well beaten to death.
We learned that different crew wear different uniforms back when Captain Ramart and Tom Nellis showed up on the Enterprise wearing the pilot uniform in "Charlie X".
The thing is, if some dude you've never met before thinks that such and such isn't canon to him, and he's not going around being an ass about it, how does what he thinks about canon affect your life?
It makes a conversation challenging if we're not starting from common ground.
Overall, my life is relatively unaffected with what goes on here. Same with if STAR TREK completely vanished tomorrow.
But, if we're going to talk a show then some sort of mutual understanding is necessary. Otherwise, discussion is limited.
