Good episode.
Mariner is super racist.

Since Mariner, Rutherford and Tendi were playing the villains, we only saw Mariner, and Boimler's Holodeck doppelganger, (well, Shempo) we didn't get to see Tendi and Rutherford's holodeck doubles. Would have been fun to have a confrontation scene with them as well.
And too bad they couldn't get Rhys Davis to do Davinci, we could have had a little Sliders reunion with him and Ransom.

Meh... All the “bad words” are bleeped (which my daughter finds amusing) and all the naughty bits are blacked out or otherwise obfuscated. It’s fine.
Really loved this episode, cracked up several times. Nice that it was s but longer, also!
Did anyone notice any of the supposed upgrades to the Cerritos?

My kid loves it.
My youngest son is 13, and loves the show. I don't see anything in it that would've precluded him from watching starting at roughly 5.
I haven't raised any serial killers yet.
Gary Cole as Leonardo da Vinci. Who'da thunk it? 
The only thing they’ve really done that’s questionable for that age is the reference to the holodeck spooge filters.
I have to admit, when people say talk about kids shows, I tend think preschool age, Sesame Street, Blues Clues, level of stuff, and this is definitely not that.My youngest son is 13, and loves the show. I don't see anything in it that would've precluded him from watching starting at roughly 5.

My daughter outgrew that stuff about 3 or 4 years ago. They grow up fast these days. She started with Bubble Guppies and I admit that I harbor a small sense of nostalgia over the simpler times that show represents for me. But yeah, she’s watching Disney+ teen shows now like Descendants, Zombies and other similar things.
I mean, TNG was generally a "PG"-rated and family-friendly series but it had an episode where Beverly has intimate relations with a ghost that lives inside a family lamp. So...yeah. 
Not to mention even I winced a little when the parasite queen did her thing at the end of “Conspiracy”. That was some pretty extreme shit back then!
Trek is rarely as family-friendly as some like to depict and often more adult in thematic content than many remember. 
I don't know why this is so hilarious but in the one LD ep with the pirate salvage crew I absolutely cracked up when JG Hertzler yelled "F
you!!!!" 
Especially since TNG's "Up the Long Ladder" establishes that starships are self-cleaning. So why do these poor schmucks have to do anything like that?

If we extrapolate that holodecks are entirely self contained, not just the power systems, then those containers are the result of the Holodeck cleaning itself. It's quite likely the Holodeck doesn't reuse anything brought in from the outside and left behind (safety feature), it just cleans it up for the next user.
^ Exactly. If the entire ship can clean itself, this must also extend to the holodeck.
Especially since most of the stuff that would ordinarily need cleaning up, would actually be holographic in nature, and thus would automatically disappear when the program ended!

Perhaps it is just filters from self cleaning that need cleaning.
They shouldn't need filters. The computer would just beam everything off the holodeck and convert it to bulk matter for later replicator use.
