Spoilers Season 2 Preview Images and Videos Thread

My only question is...why would Boimler poke Pike to see if he's a hologram and deduce that he isn't because he's solid? Since when do holograms in the 24th century not pass as solid objects?
One would imagine that a hologram would give way a different way that a person. The clothing, heat, etc. would all feel different than a forcefield projection.

Boilmer met Sulu from a holodeck session/heat stroke hallucination. It makes sense he would try a tactile approach if a holodeck command doesn't work. That being said, stay away from Pike and horses, just in case...

When the plot requires it. Holodecks have never been consistently written. Back in Farpoint the holodeck was supposed to be a finite space, Data could throw a rock and end up hitting the holodeck wall. Quickly there after the holodeck became a shipboard TARDIS where people can enter and be spaced out internally distances much larger than the holodeck's exterior.

The holodeck is an in-universe meta representation of the Star Trek franchise: as consistent or inconsistent as the plot requires it to be.
 
I literally just now learned from this article that Boimler's the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. To be fair, I quit Lower Decks more or less after stopping in the middle of episode 5 in season 1 out of frustration, so it's not that surprising I didn't know some behind the scenes stuff until now.

Hmm, the article also shows Uhura and Mariner hanging out. Knowing what she knows, maybe Mariner will tell Uhura to make weekly brain scans, just in case she gets "mindwiped by evil space probes or something".
 
It got better as it went on imo.
I heard. I tried to get into a later episode, the one where they visit holographic Zefram Cochrane or something, but the person I was watching with said she thought this show was terrible and I didn't see anything so far to contradict her newcomer opinion or my previously established one so I stopped again.
 
The crossover episode dropped early. It is now on P+
