I think that was the point. It's an incremental refit instead of a full on one.
Jack improvised the line on the day. I'm not sure if the movement was as well.Considering that Frakes directed the episode, it must have been a very funny moment in the set
Just wait for the Hell on Wheels crossover with Captain Pike and Chief O'Brien.
One of the co-writers of the episode also co-wrote Charades and was an executive story writer on Lower Decks before jumping over to SNW as a producer... which probably explains why the episode balanced both shows so well.
There were some surprisingly deep scenes in this episode for sure. Boimler with Chapel and then with Pike were two of my favorites. But also Mariner with Uhura. Well written and kudos to all the performers for bringing the emotional impact to life.
The reviewer nailed it!
Not just any Lower Decks episode: wej Duj, which was arguably the best episode in Lower Decks history to date.
Trek was really, really lucky to have found her, and I hope Kathryn Lyn gets to be a showrunner eventually of her own series at this rate.
I like Mariner a hell of a sight better in live action than animated.
Also I take it that there's no danger the Orions could actually USE the time portal? Assuming 1) they can't translate the instructions, and 2) there's no more hironium alloy to power it?
Oh and I agree about the scene with Boimler and Pike. It's no secret that I like it when people take things seriously. I'm glad Boimler got the chance to do that.

It's almost like this episode was able to weave serious and funny throughout.
*sensible chuckle as the credits roll*
That was how I took it at the time, except that we learn later it's absolutely NOT a pin-up.

I think you're on to something!
The joke is that it actually is NOT a pin-up poster in the common use of the expression even though it was a poster pinned up in his bunk. The real meaning that Mariner was trying to convey through her confusion was not clear until we saw it was a recruitment poster rather than a "pin-up" in the colloquial sense--and that's truer to Boimler's character too.
So, a bit of word play. Safe to say that Mariner wasn't being evasive but truly unfamiliar with the term "pin-up poster." And what she said was absolutely correct--it was a poster that was pinned up!
It was a good joke, but Mariner wasn't the right one to say it because there's no way in hell she doesn't know what a pinup is.
One of the few areas of the episode where I think Tendi or Rutherford being included would have worked better, since they're so much more "pure" than she is.
I was more surprised that Number One knew the phrase in its 20th-century context. Even today, while pinup-type posters are certainly around, I would bet that the number of people who recognize the phrase is a lot lower than it was 50 years ago.
Is it just me or do the live-action Cerritos uniforms have more of the black area (near the shoulders) than the animated versions do?
In animation, the division color goes almost all the way up and only ends a short distance below the neck. But in live action the color area ends like halfway up the front!

You haven't heard the TOS theme until uou have heard it in full bossa nova
The Voyager theme also works really good in bossa nova
