Brad Boimler

Okay.

But, um, I love, uh, I love Boimler's commitment to saying captain in this episode.

[laughs]

It's so funny.

A little title that we like to go and say right about now.

Much Ado About Boimler.

There you go.

And w-

Much Ado-

Be surprised, we have Boimler on.

Much Ado About Boimler.

Oh, that's exciting.

Wow

... we just ha- And then getting Mariner and Boimler back to being friends again-

Mm-hmm

... was such a priority 'cause I was like, "This was a mistake." [laughs]

Yeah.

Tendi's good.

And Boy- Boimler.

Tendi's good.

Uhura being the motivation for Uhura to change.

This episode is in conversation with the episode where Boimler and Mariner come to Strange New Worlds.

in a very strong way.

It was mentioned previously on, this episode is like, since then, Aurora has been thinking about her future and how she has to get to this perfect version of herself, her final evolution or whatever.

But it must have done because in Strange New Worlds, they did a documentary.

So if that wasn't played on TV, where was it? But they remembered in Lower Decks that TV didn't really exist because remember when Boimler went to that planet and they had soap operas and Boimler didn't know what they were? So he...

like just space almost died in this room just watching soap opera for hours and hours and didn't eat um so yeah um little finger of psytrek for me that was just way too much paul wesley that was a big problem with the um with the whole show and the neurodiverse has just got ooh dude i'm sorry mate but they did it it's not my fault um it's not my fault that spot made sweet love to a puppet Can't go Udo to me.

It happened.

Well, that's right.

And there was a lot of like, even especially in that episode, those old scientists with like Boimler in particular telling her about who this person she's going to grow into be and be very, you know, notable and famous, right? Yeah.

Anyway.

Gosh darn it, Boimler.

That seems like a violation of the temporal prime directive.

Anyway, so in the course of this conversation between the two Ahuras, they establish that there's the white hole and the black hole, and there might be theoretical things, and they kind of put it together that this could be the connection that is making them connected through the space-time continual, if you will, and hopefully undo things and save Scotty.

And a bit of trivia, on lower decks they had Division 14, which is where they sent all the science experiments gone wrong and stuff.

Remember that episode where Boimler was partially beamed and couldn't fully materialise and then he went on that black ship that was full of threshold salamanders and all those things? That was Division 14, so it could be an evolution of that.

Kind of want to see a Division 12 show where...

They're pouring through all these mysteries.

And that first scene with Mariner.

chopping Boimler with the bat left.

Very loud.

Very loud.
