Lower Decks 4x05- Empathalogical Fallacies ~~ { ** Spoilers Within ** }

That was an OK episode but not the funniest one and certainly not as good 1 or 3 maybe even with episode 2 I would say.

Nice to see some movement on the mysteries ship. At least the Cerritos and any other Federation ship will be ready for it of they come across it.

Really loved the Romulan ship at the end. Gave me a good laugh.

Good episode. Great to see more T'yln.

Romulan ship was hilarious.

Not as good as episode one but still decent. And that's not a bad thing..not every episode can be a stand out show.

I like how the cast are coming to terms with their new ranks and do seem to maturing somewhat into real Starfleet officers.

The characters on Lower Decks are so well developed (compared to Discovery) you can have a real feel for who they are. Even the secondary characters have good roles.

Also, Caitains used to eat Betazoids. Interesting lol. Love how Caitains have to swear an oath not to eat their crewmates.

I imagine Shax being the defacto councillor is a Cerritos only set up. Can't see Worf, Tuvok or Odo taking much interest in the well being of the crew.

It was OK, preferred last week's episode if I'm honest. The Betazoids attempted kidnap made no sense to me

Reed and La'an were from Old Scientists time, mental wellbeing tended to fall under the responsibility of the Chief Medical Officer. Before M'Benga, Doctor Haskins looked after Captain Pike with a stiff drink because sometimes a man tells his bartender what he won't tell his Doctor. Clem Fandango you'll have to remind me

I presumed by "oath", they meant T'ana's Hippocratic oath. "Do no harm. That includes not eating your patients".

I love that it's now "canon" that the replicators have humanoid meat on file.

Maybe, but it seems to lean into Caitans being just big cats. It’s almost like her seeing a Betazoid is like my cat seeing a small bird land nearby. My cat is going to try to murder that bird, there’s nearly no choice in the matter. Regardless of T’Lynn’s syndrome, I feel like T’ana would still be fighting the urge to not kill those Betazoids.

That might come from the TNG episode where everyone devolved into their prehistoric state.

They're descended from amphibians. In Genesis, when a rogue T-cell activates the crew's introns, Deanna Troi assumes an amphibious form indicative of her Betazoid evolutionary ancestry.

Barclay turns into a spider and riker into a caveman in same episode.

That was fun. Lots of nods and laughs. Kinda missed how Prodigy felt more new and fresh. Hope it gets renewed.

There is already a second season of Prodigy made but it has been wrote off in some tax deal. So we might never see it unfortunately.
