#97 – ‘I, Excretus’ Lower Decks S2E08

The Upper- and Lower-Deckers switch roles and in the process learn that the true enemy of efficiency is a meddlesome organizational consultant. Join your holopod-dwelling hosts as they discuss the use of callbacks for both humor and metacritiques of classic Star Trek tropes, how Mariner and Captain Freeman are alike while retaining differences based on career level and experience, and the magnificent audacity of Boimler’s athletic spread.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Captain Archer’s Mirror Universe counterpart needs to calm down a bit – but decides not to.
