Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting "Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!"
Love it, also I finally cracked under the weight of your advent calendar posts and ordered the USS Thunderchild. If Blue Brixx release the USS Prometheus that’s another purchase from me (see feddit.uk/comment/4417683)!
My friends and I recently challenged each other to list our top five starship classes and were surprised by how different our opinions were despite being generally in agreement with what we like about the various series....
Mike McMahan is a lifelong Trekkie and it shows! Whilst I do wish the references to other shows were toned down a smidge in favour of building new lore I always enjoy them hah. “Not the 'Gazer!”
I adore this episode, especially later on when the SNW crew go fan crazy over the NX-01 crew with those Boimler and Mariner grinning in the background. That and Boim’s Section 31 fast walk
I agree on the predictability on Boimler’s story in this episode, but I think it’s rushing through his progression from hyper competent junior officer to competent commander (or manager or delegator even). Also it’s an opportunity to explore T’Lyn’s dynamic with other characters like you say. Mariner would’ve probably just taken charge (she believes in him but probably would’ve run out of patience), I imagine Tendi might’ve tried to be supportive as is her nature in addition to using her officer training and Rutherford would’ve cooked up some techy shortcut.
I enjoyed seeing him speaking confidently with the captain, especially in the midst of all the chaos. That shows how much he’s progressed over the course of the show imo

Honestly I was only skimming these not wanting to accidentally spoil anything for myself, so I’m not sure what else they add! Just searching for them is building real hype for season 4, LD is easily my favourite NuTrek show though I’m a fan of SNW and Prodigy too
