Since the preview pics show the Betazoid gift box, which Rutherford has in that scene in the trailer, I guess this will be the one with...

Spoiler

Allamaraine!!

Doh, I was voting on Episode 2, not 3. I don't have psychic powers or anything...

I hope they brought in Armin Shimmerman to voice the Betazoid gift box.

Everything that has ever occurred is science stuff.

I love that an ancient computer has large floppy discs like in 1992. As a child of the 90s, I appreciated seeing those things and the attention to detail.

Dirk is all of us after we originally saw Move Along Home.

 

[tomalak301]

I liked the episode, but it was let down by the twist ending. I actually wish Dirk was traumatized by the game because that would have been funnier I think. The end just made it a little more predictable.

I liked that Boimler died and the first thing he sees is the Koala. Love the continuity there.

This show is just too entertaining week after week.

Okay, it can't just be me.

T'Lyn is AGGRESSIVELY flirting with Boimler in her very Vulcan way.

Right?

I got some vibes.

I worked for someone who became "Lt. Boimler" and the micromanaging drove the entire team away, but I didn't have the kind of relationship to let them know that they needed to let go or to understand where it came from.

I feel like if this season is going through standard management tropes, it could be fun. Like a certain comic strip that I won't name, but without any of the baggage of that creator.

Also, it's funny to think that people who like jazz would still be a lot to deal with in the future. lol

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Finally, a Orbital Ring MegaStructure.

I've been waiting for one of those to become a main "Planet of the Week".

Also, that AI went a REALLY long time w/o updates.

 

[NCC-73515]

Sadly, it was not very interesting. Let's hope it gets better again... :/

 

[Charles Phipps]

There's a Kzinti on a Ringworld!

I expected a Halo joke, though.

 

[Alpharius]

I'm watching this series with a bunch of friends who are new fmto Star Trek and I just know the Halo fan in the group is going to LOVE the ring world lol.

Good episode. Having T'Lyn as the 5th wheel is going to be great if she continues to facilitate being grouped up with the Warpcore 4 in interesting and dynamic scenarios.

While I wouldn't want it to be Endgame, I think Boimler is due for his own Jennifer romance.

Take note the only other time we've seen a Vulcan be as aggressively mean before suddenly switching to being weirdly complimentary in the same scene was T'Pol and Trip Tucker.

It's also very common in anime.

Don't updates need to be written? Who made Vexilon's updates???
