I’m actually fine moving away from the Titan for a while. A little goes a long way and I don’t want to see the Titan crew overshadow the Cerritos and our heros.
I really do like the parody about how the doctors can fix old age, becoming a salamander, Spot becoming a lizarrd, and Spider-Barclay with the fact that Kayshon becomes a puppet.

Huh. I totally missed the red spoilers marker. I guess I'm just used to the old software even after all this time.

Oh sure, but it was so much fun. I adore Frakes.
Yeah, and she said something like "This isn't the first time I dealt with a puppet." Wait, what? People have been turned into puppets before?
I mean, it's apparently a Collector weapon. Probably their third setting after Kill and Stun.
Perhaps it's a way of procuring captives. Excess matter eliminated, their brain shrunk or reduced to a specific form, and encased within a simulated puppet form for ease of discernment. Could even be Kelvan technology repurposed.
Presumably, T'Ana is growing the brain back and then painstakingly reforming the body based on DNA and past medical scans.
I admit I like "Red Matter", "Strange Energy", Puppetron Particles or whatever justifies this rather than pretending its remotely scientific.
"My God! The Collector Ray made him a collectable! This is just how Sulu died the 3rd time!"
"Can you reverse it?"
"Can I cure death?" [beat] "ABSOLUTELY!"

That may be one of the reasons I enjoy the show so much. It's very much more show than tell. They just do something, and reap whatever often hilarious consequences happen from it. As @Tim Thomason pointed out, could be a kind of Kelvan technology, which was never truly explained in TOS, except that it clearly worked.
Stun THEN Kill! What sort of pyschopath ARE you?!
It's Tickle, Stun, Heat Rocks, Kill, Vaporize, Sonic Rainboom
Parallel universe Harry Kim. In that universe, he got promoted to Lieutenant and went power hungry.

AH! I GOT IT!
The collector had The Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator!
:running away:
I'd say more like:It just dawned on me that Kayshon spent almost the entire episode with ...
His Eyes Open ...
"His buttons sewn on..."
I know Lower Decks is a show about Star Trek nerds working on a Star Trek ship and everything's a reference, but come on what are the chances this dead collector guy exclusively collected obscure Star Trek episode and movie stuff?
I mean fairly decent. To us it's obscure Star Trek episode and movie stuff, to him it would be "war memorabilia from the Federation's most famous vessels plus some incredibly valuable religious relics."
They make even make sense if it's a "theme" room because no one would question a room with Wild Bill Hicock, Billy the Kid, and other Wild West stuff. Maybe the next room over is full of Andorian relics.
don’t forget “destroy aqueduct”.
Trek is full of ridiculous coincidences.
