    It was a great episode.

    Also, Number One saying “They put that on the poster?” made my heart melt.

      And the gag with Ransom calling Una the sexiest, given the actors’ relationship.

          Ransom’s voice actor Jerry O’Connell is complimenting his wife, Rebecca Romjin, who plays Una.

              LD is full meta jokes about things in universe. Little jokes like this ‘behind the scenes’ is a great joke too.

    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

        “Those Old Scientists” - Strange New Worlds S2E07. It’s a crossover with Lower Decks and it’s awesome.

    this is a great episode! when she comes through the portal. I always think “oh gawd, here we go”. the characters are played flawlessly and really bring the shows together in a way that few are able to achieve.

    I could watch Boimler hop in the saddle and exclaim “Riker” over, and over…

    I know boimler’s hair is purple in lower decks, but I didn’t expect it to be purple in live action for some reason and I couldn’t stop thinking about how weird it was whenever he was on screen. Like, the Simpsons have yellow skin while animated but if they were real life people it wouldn’t be neon yellow. Am I crazy?

      Turns out that’s not just an animation convention, Boimler’s hair really is purple. He dyes it.
