There's been more than several times where the entire Senior Staff goes on a "Away Mission" and leaves the ship or station behind in command by more "Junior Officers".Uh, have you met Star Trek?
Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x10 - "Old Friends, New Planets"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

The Steamrunner in this episode looks odd. Not sure what they used for reference, the escape pods are in the wrong places, the Bridge module is facing the wrong way, bunch of little things like that.
Like the overall shape of the ship, the silhouette is correct, there's just a bunch of odd things about it that don't match the official DS9/FC models or the Eaglemoss model.
In-universe we could chalk it up as either a different variant or Nick modified it.

I'm betting Nick modified it, the Port section of the entire hull was painted Red.
It looked like a partially converted ship that Nick didn't have time to finish before his quadrant wide announcement.
All the ships in 'his' fleet were like that.
Second favorite moment, after Paywall on a bomb(Rutherford)-"He looks like Tom Paris."
(Boimler) "I don't see it."
(Rutherford) "They have, like, the same face. They're identical.
(Boimler) "No, I just don't see it."
I don't care, i loved this episode, solid 10/10.
Except for Nick's personal small ship. That was all white for some reason.
It makes you wonder, how would the bomb makers who created the Paywall collect their latinum if the target defusing it actually did have currency to pay?Second favorite moment, after Paywall on a bomb
The control of the bomb would usually be in the other persons hands and they would take it back after defusing usually by disassembling the bomb.
Don't tell me they had a micro transporter ready to beam the latinum away?
Not unprecedented since the TR-116 bullet can transport bullets mid flight, so beaming away a relatively stationary chunk of latinum physical currency shouldn't be hard, but still!
You'd also need to maintain some sort of device near the bomb to receive the transporter signal and that gets messy since you have to constantly be sure to always be in range of said bomb, that gets resource intensive.
That's ALOT of effort for small chump change in latinum.

TOS Kirk would have taken his nephew Peter and an entire college marching band with him on landing parties if he could have. 
All senior staff must go in to the dangerous situation.Uh, have you met Star Trek?
That's how Lt. J.G. LaForge took command and did saucer separation.
It... kinda did.

Oooo-kay...
First, the elephant in the starship. Given that the crew has lost Boimler, Mariner, Freeman, and Shaxx and gotten them all back... I think Tendi will return as well. She's too important to the general chemistry of the group. And from the looks of things, she's got a plan as to how that's going to happen.
I rather liked the explanation for Mariner's wild and occasionally self destructive behavior. And I'm glad they resisted the temptation to bring back Sito... I liked her, but her loss was an essential element to the original "Lower Decks".
Though I never really agreed with the mentality that Nick Lacarno was irredeemable, it was nice to get some sort of closure with the character. And his fate, dark as it was, was better than my head canon.
I think Boimler can now die a happy man, what with having been acting captain and all. Not saying I hope they kill him, mind you... he's the character who reminds me most of myself.
Nice to watch T'Lyn's quiet growth, shown both that she knew how to mediate between Rutherford and Livik, and that she opted to stay on the Cerritos. Starting to understand the true value of IDIC, maybe?
I hope Livik doesn't have any career hopes, given that his conflict with Rutherford requires eternal ensignhood. Can't say I'm happy about this... one Harry Kim was one too many.
A massive shield that can protect whole solar systems? When did this happen? And when did the Ferengi develop a Genesis device?!
Overall... it seemed like one, this one resolved a little too quickly, and two, it seemed a bit odd that Lacarno (after an impeccably crafted plot) would be laid low by misjudging Mariner the way he did.
7 out of 10 from me.
And Locarno finally got his starburst.
I think in the Ferengi mindset, it doesn't matter who acquires the profit, merely that said profit must be obtained somehow.
So paying the bomb means the bomb collects the latinum for itself!
I'll say it, before anyone else here does: he's going to return, and grow through awkward Human puberty like Spock did with pon farr. Because unlike Spock, he wasn't long dead when he got sent there, with no soul in his body.
Maybe they built it hoping it would blow up anyway and create a "land of milk and latinum" paradise.
We lost Nick Locarno, but we'll always have Tom Paris.
(I'm appearing next week at Vic's.)
I had no issues recogniznig Riker in LD. Jonathan Frakes still sounds pretty much the same to me. Sure there was a bit of a difference vs TNG and movies, but nothing that would compare to RDN sounding different.
The registry number is his birthday, so yeah
All of the animated sequences with the multiple ships, the battles and escapes, the scenes in space, and that final blast that made the new planet - they were all just stunning. Epic but totally in tone with the shows aesthetic. Chef's kiss.
