The good news is Tendi's cousin works at a pirate's den at a thieves outpost



And so they might be able to help... If Mariner didn't look so.. human.

Boimler is inching his way toward the bridge to go meet Tom Paris. He's literally inching. Barely able to squeeze through the maintenance tubes.

Rutherford is haunted by the many possible ways Shaxs could have returned from the dead.

Whole lotta heart to heart as Mariner and Tendi sneak into the orion pirate base to meet up with a cousin who does art forgery.

Tendi is getting elbow deep in this pirate outpost culture and she's really not comfortable with any of it but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.

Tendi's first name is D'vana. D'vana Tendi. Apparently. This episode has been very informative!

Mariner stops being artificially green so the Orion's sniff her out. Now Tendi and Mariner need to escape together.

Boimler is getting cooked alive and exposed to noxious fumes. He'll be fine.

Mariner and the sex-statue are dangling and Tendi has to choose. She opts to sacrifice the sex statue to save Mariner.

Shaxs is just about to explain to Rutherford how the door between life and death works.



"So... Death is the first thing that happens."

Rutherford doesn't really take it well.

Cerritos is still well on the way to murdering Boimler who is stuck in this tube.

Boimler jams his tom paris plate into the system in a fit of rage.

He lands right on the bridge!

Mariner and Tendi make friends, but for real this time now that they kinda know eachother. Mariner decides she and Tendi are friends and what a friend would do for another friend is set the shuttle to violently ram into the Cerritos to make a pretext for breaking the sex statue.

The shuttle bounces off the shields harmlessly. (for the Cerritos, the shuttle is trashed)

Cat lady doctor didn't give a drat about the sex statue... she wanted the box.

Tom Paris beat Boimler's rear end and didn't sign his plate. But Boimler did get his clearance.

Rutherford is 100% certain he knows how the afterlife works now and he's haunted by it.

THE END!

I liked spending time with the Orions. Learned a lot of stuff about them today. I did not care at all about Boimler's thing. Rutherford's situation sounds to me like it's gonna be a developing plotline. Cat-doctor-lady jumped in the box. Good times. 7.5/10

I always thought this was a show for kids but now I'm getting the impression it's more like a Star Trek Simpsons/Family Guy-ish affair?

it's pretty much the same broad premise and group dynamic and target audience as futurama. underdogs vs the universe, broad laughs about how goofy dated SF could be, optimism about the future contrasted with how life kinda sucks when you're not the protagonists, punching up sometimes-weak jokes with a SF visual, lots of "hey remember this other show" pseudo-jokes. it has a lot less of an edge, though, since it's an officially-branded part of what it's mocking.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2 Episode 4 – Mugato, Gumato

Pretty good opener. Boimler and Rutherford have been practicing their giant Q-Tip jujitsu moves every night for a month so that they could defeat Mariner in a two on one fight. It just so happens today is the day Mariner offers to go train with them and when they're halfway competent at it Mariner decides to turn it up a notch and she gleefully destroys Rutherford and Boimler. Shaxs walks in and lets them know they've still got ten minutes to go.

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
So the basic premise of this episode is that Mariner might be a secretly programmed assassin/combat master and that when she gets stressed it unleashes her hidden potential. Or something.

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
Rutherford is looking through Mariner's file. It definitely looks sketchy but I mean... it's mariner. So.

Meanwhile Tendi has to go scan the biometrics of everyone on the ship who didn't report to medical bay.

So lower decks crew has to transport down to some planet and find and subdue mugatoo

Anyway chaos breaks out when Shaxs confronts the Ferengi head on and then Mariner stabs Shaxs in the chaos but I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

reignofevil

Anyway now Boimler and Rutherford ran away from Mariner and they have to hang out with Steve Irwin.

reignofevil

He's dead.

reignofevil

Boimler and Rutherford have 100% accepted that Mariner is a secret black ops agent.

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
Tendi is just goin around scanning people

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
Boimler and Rutherford are now confronting Mariner while she's trapped in some kinda bear-trap like future-trap.

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
Mariner claims she is the one who started the rumor that she was in black ops.

reignofevil
Nov 7, 2008
Mariner is in fact totally normal!

Rutherford and Boimler are the only ones not caught by the Ferengi, now they have to save everyone.

Tendi gets cat lady doctor's biometric data by launching herself down an engineering shaft and breaking her own arm open so that bone is exposed.
