Absolutely loved this episode, Boimler getting wrapped in the cables when jerry-rigging the sensors had me in tears; and the Riker as he swung his leg over the saddle brilliant bit of improv made even funnier knowing Drakes directed this.
They managed to tone down the lower deckers slighter whilst still having their full personalities come through.
Pikes getting more exacerbated with them throughout the episode was well done, and the amount of physical comedy I'm running out of superlatives for this episode.
It was just brilliant, easily my favourite of the current era.
Edit. Just wanted to add, loved seeing the LD uniform in love action; thought it translated really well.

Totally agree with you...this Lower Desk crossover was perfect in pretty much every way...then the Klingon ambassador episode after that was like a stand alone movie and super heavy...the writing for SNW is just blowing me away👍👍
