Not a bad episode but nit the funniest either. Poor Tendi do lol not getting who she wanted and having Dr. Miglomo to mentor her instead lol.

Lol at some of the fantasies do but I have to say Rutherfords fantasy was the best lol and a good easter egg it was too. Isn't it great that this show actually has us caring about its characters and that we actually know who they all are like Captain Freeman, Marineer, Boimler and Tendi unlike znother show that shull not be named.

Fun and enjoyable episode.

Light weight but fun enough episode, much like the previous one. And also fairly light on the references, bar the few major ones like Leah Brahms being fairly central. I did appreciate the brief call back to the koalas though.

Edit: small additional detail, they got the original TNG actress Susan Gibney, back for the Brahms role.

Pretty fun episode, I really enjoyed Rutherfords little head torch, handy thing to have! Liked the return of the USS Hood as well, as with the Brahms role they're able to bring back ideas/characters/ships in a way that's a nice nod and doesn't seem like blatant fan service. Unlike a certain upcoming season 3...

That was fun. Think the nod I liked the most was Leah Brahms. I'd wondering ..maybe hoping.. if they'll fill in the 'why' about the mind reading later.

It was explained in the episode. The scientists wanted to sell Starfleet secrets, although what secrets they would get out of the Cali classes is questionable.

I liked this one. Question though, that Admiral who was Boimlers fantasy. Should I know him?

The ships themselves are valuable. If you know where they're going to be it would make it easier to hijack.

Pretty fun episode overall I liked the nightmare clown Klingons.

Maybe that's all there is too it. The captain's log left me thinking there's something more.

Pretty sure the fantasy Admiral was just a randomer instead of an easter egg for once.

Voiced by Fred Tatiscore according to Memory Alpha so yeah, just a generic Admiral. Shame because it could have been a good cameo opportunity for Janeway or Picard or any of the admirals from DS9 's Dominion war.
