Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point Ⅱ: Paradoxus"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I think this is the episode I've been looking forward to most - not least of all because of the sheer scope for cameos (both people and ships) due to the "non canon" nature of a holo drama
George Takai has been busy with the guest roles lately. First Resident Alien and now Lower Decks. That took me completely by surprise.
This was a much better episode than last week. I was entertained, and it was a worthy sequel to Crisis Point.

was Shatanari supposed to be a nod to William Shatner?
I got that Discovery jab as well. Even had one for the JJVerse.
The “even better” line about getting Sulu reminded me of that Simpsons story Conan told about the Monorail episode. Sulu was going to be in it but he didn’t feel it was appropriate with him being on the transport board. Instead he got them Nimoy which Conan said, “that’s better!”
Imagine if they did get Shatner. There is no way they would have kept that a secret.

She’ll be changing colours soon
They will never pay the shitload of cash he wants/demands.
It's really nice of him to send so much continuing work to his old friends instead of hogging it for himself, and doing it in a way where he's not taking credit for it too!
I wonder if AGIMUS and Peanut Hamper are going to link up with William Boimler and Rutherford's Section 31 tormenter. That would be quite the villain team up, giving each of our core foursome their own antagonist in the group.
It's funny, from the preview clip of this they showed on Star Trek Day, my immediate assumption wasn't that it was Boimler playing a character on the holodeck. I thought that was the transporter clone, having changed his name and become a captain already.
And I've been dying for them to do something with William Boimler! So that had me all excited. When the episode instead seemed to be about WB being Generations-ed, I spent most of the time watching let down and disappointed.
So now with that ending... I think I just need to watch this one again.
Oddly similar to the original "Crisis Point", which I did not vibe with AT ALL the first time, but have come to adore on rewatch.

Very good episode. I love the idea that Boimler just went off script and followed a random storyline generated from a background NPC. This is how DMs feel.
Love the William Boimler in Section 31 thing.
