Interesting premise, a second contact mission. Character design reminds me of Jim ("Garfield") Davis. The "lockstep" line rather suggests a martinet. Then again, I always found both Jellico and Nechayev to be at least borderline martinets.
Do I hear just the faintest echo of the TAS "Enterprise fanfare" at the very beginning of the open music?
(I've always felt that somebody far better than I at music analysis could tease out echoes of the TOS fanfare and open in the TAS fanfare and open. Like maybe a measure or two of inversion here, a measure or two of retrograde there, and maybe even retrograde inversion somewhere else.)

I started my rewatch of Lower Decks tonight to get ready for the second season and I can understand why this episode was one of the weaker ones. I didn't really enjoy Boimler being mocked while the alien was tossing him like a rag doll. I think it was meant for laughs but seeing it (Naked and all) and Mariner in the background kinda didn't sit right with me. I did like other parts of the episode though, like Rutherford's story and Tendi being this eager ambitious character. Also, I'm watching this and focusing a lot on Mariner. They do a good job setting her up as this ego-maniac, always getting into trouble, problems with authority person, even to the point where the mom doesn't want her.
I originally rated this a 10. Since I can't change my vote, I would probably give it a 6 or 7.

Ego maniac?

Poor choice of words but she does have an ego. Menace would probably be a better fit.
Sure, she does. Most do.
Maybe I'm biased but Mariner made perfect sense with the fact that she found the rules as getting in the way of actually helping people. So, she decided to trust her own self, not the rules. And being a rule breaker is easier.
I don't remember very much about the season but did Boimler ever actually save the day, like Mariner seemed to most weeks? I don't mean like the first episode where they tried to suggest he cured the disease even though it was completely by accident and had nothing to do with him.
Temporal Edict has his suggestion to the captain (even if that is just "you're being fucking stupid" put more politely) enable the crew to succeed.
I just watched that episode and I can see that as a Boimler saving the day. He even got a plaque.
I remember some things about the season so this was why I wanted to do a rewatch. For example, the next episode is Moist Vessel and I don’t remember that episode much at all.
