@akbarrmd7714 the test they're referring to is a rigged simulation in episode 2-8 intended to make the crew fail by blocking creative solutions. Although Boimler did try the Kobayashi Maru 7 times(I think, might have been 10) before giving up. Edit: Looked it up. He failed 17 times! Mate does not give up.
@@chaoticsky106 Well, Klingons also respect someone who stands up for themselves. Remember Lt. Pazlar and the Klingon Chef on DS9? She gets the good stuff because she tears him a new ass. He laughs, tells her to wait, and gives her and Bashir the best he has.
I also loved how they mentioned right before this clip that the uni forms aren't enforced across the fleet. I think this is a reference to Star Trek online where when you can mandate specific uniforms for your vessel.
when we saw riker, titan crew other starfleet officers they're still wearing the DS9 uniforms lead me to believe that different parts of starfleet wear different uniforms kind of like in ww2 where european theater soldiers definitely don't wear he same uniforms as their pacific theater counterparts.
My interpretation is that there's general uniform guidelines for ranks and colours. But the specifics of the uniform is up to the discretion of each ship's captain to make each each other identifiable in a Starfleet setting.
@@utubrGaming Yeah that seem to be the thing. Uniforms can be updated per Ships affections discretions. In the end it's probably up to the captain to have the uniform be "updated", altought they would -at least I would- place the change up for a vote for the different options.
@@utubrGaming More likely, Starfleet Command has been routinely updating uniforms as the recent conflicts revealed weaknesses in the designs. After all, with matter replicators as standard, it's not a massive imposition to issue new uniforms, especially to ships on shorter assignments.
Something that gets forgotten is that Boimler is actually pretty tough. Compared to the likes of Mariner who's unreasonably good in a fight he comes up short, but when he's in a brawl he's able to last a while, which is sometimes all you need in a critical situation. Like when he was in the mine trying to survive Packlets during his time on the Titan, he survived long enough to evac his team and himself. Also when he was being hunted a few episodes back. Sure he got caught, but he was able to evade in limited space for a long time before he made the mistake that got him speared.
Boimler was REALLY toughened by his time aboard the Titan. It made him stronger and more confident to have served under Riker. Mariner is unreasonably good in a fight because she LOVES fighting. She works out by simulating a CARDASSIAN PRISON BREAK, her weapon of choice is a god damn Bat'leth, and she very likely served during the Dominion War. Mariner LOVES to fight, so obviously she's had a LOT of training.
Mariner is not "unreasonably good" in a fight. she just better than what you like. It makes sense she can fight because she been around nothing but fighters
@@IronheartvsMiles I don't mean "unreasonably: in terms of her being a girl or in terms of realism, I mean in terms of she can absolutely annihilate anyone else we see on screen in single combat except maybe Shaxx.

I genuinely felt really bad for Boimer when the douchey scientists broke his pip, but later in the episode you see them cowering in fear as he stomps their table into the dirt. and Ransom says they cried. SO satisfying.
@@folklore19 after the 17th try his commanding officer probably filled him in. We saw how dedicated he is to performance perfection in the Borg simulation, he probably would've kept going

@@ReddwarfIV good rule of thumb, if the question is, "is someone actually saying (dumb thing)", the answer is yes, someone is actually saying dumb thing. never doubt the human ability to say dumb things
The man speaks the truth. Despite what the reputation Starfleet has, its not exactly easy. You'll get attack at random for no reason, Fall victim to Q, Encounter strange anomalies, Visit strange places that may or may not latch something onto you with some weird ass disease, etc. But all in all Starfleet despite what people generally think of the organization, is always the one who goes knee deep first into the fray and fight whatever they encounter head on. That is what being a Starfleet Officer is all about.
Glad to see him tell off those aliens who like games from that ds9 episode move along home, that episode actually kept me away from ds9 for a whole year and it was only through others encouragement that I continued and loved it, but can you imagine if that had been the last ds9 episode I ever saw

Then once they deliberately abuse/damage an item of your interest whilst laughing at you, you would have had enough of their BS towards you, snap and start beating the s*** out of them with all that built up rage.

Boimler really spoke the truth here. Starfleet is the reason why so many alien races were discovered and are co-existing with other alien races. And they have saved the Galaxy from threats like the Borg, Dominion, and evil space entities.
Wow for once Biomler is in big trouble but despite that Mariner was able to sign up more people to join Starfleet which made Commander Ransom very happy. I think there's a hint at the end of that episode that suspect that Mariner will be thinking about joining the theif that she just met today if Ransom did kick her out of Starfleet in Season 3 finale.
In reality Bloimer basically get just a slap on the wrist with Ransom honestly proud of what he had done as probably the heckling happen every time and Starfleet need/must always act as the adult in the room and just take it from people that in the end are ungratefull karens as they were saved many many many times by them
@@lukedalton Make sense a Ransom seems to have a strong respect for Biomler especially after the Bridge Buddy episode so understandable he would let him off easy especially since it was that freak out that got people to sign up.

I don't blame Boimler for losing it. He's always wanted to be a starship captain, and this civilian comes by and "demotes" him while laughing. I wouldn't be surprised if bullies from his hometown of Modesto did stuff like this to him because his family made raisins.
A bit 'money lenders in the temple for me', but, Boims, I'm right there with you. Exploring, finding, learning, right there with you. Those base guys wore the same uniform as each other, for sake's sake! He's right to lose it front of hypocrisy. I'm a little impressed by that barely-seen Vulcan woman's calm, I wonder if it was someone we meet later?
That’s the equivalent of tearing up a dude’s master’s degree. This show isn’t great about making it understood, but not everybody on a starfleet ship is an officer, you have to actually go through the academy and study stuff like astronomy, advanced mathematics, biochemistry, sociology, political science, it would be a lot of work.
I find it funny that the outpost scientists have the nerve to look down on Star Fleet cuz they're job is 5 times more dangerous and Star Fleet normally cleans up after their messes. Being an outpost scientist is worse than being the red guy in star trek lol cuz you're more likely to die a horrific death more than anything
To be fair, from the outpost scientists perspective they likely see themselves as willingly putting themseles in those risky situations too for the purpose of research on alien civilization. It maty not be that they are neccsarily as truely opposed to starfeet as much as them being rude makes them seem but that over time interecting with starfleet effects on their own projects has downsized their feelings for how beneficial starfleet's behavior is at times.
After watching this episode, I quickly came to realize that archeologist is based on the ‘other side’ of every fandom. The kind that is critical and wrong over almost everything. Boimler is that nice, tolerant fan who just snaps after seeing that one critical fan for the umpteenth time. -Starfleet is a military - Except they explicitly say and insist they’re not on more occasions than one can count. Just because you can defend yourself doesn’t mean you’re a military. And the military isn’t the only one with their ranking system, the Fire Department is an example. Plus what are you gonna do during a time of war when you don’t have a formal military? You organize, it’s not a free for all. But Starfleet is not a military. If they were something like a paramilitary, then they’d say that. -Captain Freeman bombed the Paklets, good on her/she should be arrested or die - Rewatch the episode, they literally said and showed how she was framed. -The Federation is evil/shitty, the Prime Directive is awful and wrong, they should help people not let them die - Why would Gene of all people want to make the Federation such a bad organization? Use your imagination as to why the Prime Directive is the way it is before you start spitting. It’s a necessary double-edged sword. Cultural contamination is a very serious issue. And I can continue. Star Wars goes through the same stuff within its fandom, they’re the first example I can think of off the top of my head. In my experience, anyway, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen somebody call or suggest the Jedi are evil. It’s like, you do realize that Darth Sidious is still the *bad guy,* right?
Actually, she's just being a jerk to cause a distraction and steal something XD. It happened late on the episode, but yes: she probably based her facade on these kind of mindsets. Good speech😁
well if i must do the devil's advocate, Starfleet being military or civilian (scientific and exploration) is not a clear cut as it has mission that cover both (as it also the primary defense of the UFP)...honestly i always thought of her as a multimission organization that after decades of peace is somewhat ashamed of her military part and desire people forget that exist. For the prime directive, it was basically a guideline for captains that were for months out of contact from the command that with the passing of time has evolved in something like a biblical commandment
Star Wars doesn't work as clean cut. Because the theory/spirituality of the force is based on Taoism. And the very act of dividing the whole into "Good/Evil" dichotomy is reductionist and counterintuitive to the philosophy itself.
To be fair, like said above, Star Wars isn't as clean cut. As the Jedi, were not perfect and frankly were not on the most "good" guys" it was the select few that were actually good or decent guys. As their morals and ideals were so peculiar and undermining, especially when it came to Anakin. It didn't make them bad guys obviously, but they weren't what you could really call good guys. And for palps, it was pretty damn bad admittedly, not much to beat around the hush on that one
@@lukedalton I wouldn’t go as far as call it commandments, but I think you have the right idea. As for the military part, certainly ashamed of the necessity to band together as one and fight wars but they don’t try to have people forget. They’re not a military but you need to fight sometimes if you wanna exist, and coordination is essential in anything war. I wouldn’t say Starfleet is civilian, either, though. They’re something more, I believe and something good.
I love how this is a recurring theme with Lower Decks cast. Even Ryker and his hit squad bring it up. They all just wanna run around and scan shiny things and map quasars. Sure blowing up badguys is fun but a lot of starfleet is legitimately unhappy with all the fighting they have to do. All the traps and snares and betrayals and romulan nonsense. "We just want to scan quasars" Mar says it, Tindy says it, Boimler, Ryker, The Captain says it. Its oddly... Wholesome, that a lot of star fleet would be super happy being left alone to scan rocks and poke artifacts.
My respect for Boimler sky rocket after he raged about everything especially the Doctor's agency and he's right without Star Fleet most of the outpost scientist would've been run over by borgs, Klingon and space pirates.
everyone snaps. if someone isnt snapping, then they arent string, theyre rope. the scary thing is that with enough force wearing down the rope, that snaps too.
I can see why people compare this ST series with Rick and Morty, but for me it has a Brooklyn Nine Nine vibe. This and ST Enterprise are my most loved of the ST series.
The nice ones are always the scariest. Just ask Bronies. I mean, Fluttershy may be nice, but, as the old saying goes, don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
To explain why Boimler was enraged: Forcibly ripping out rank insignia is one of the gravest acts that can be done against military personnel. The *only* time it is a legitimate action is when the soldier is being dishonorably dismissed. By pulling out his pips, the Female Outpost Scientist effectively called Boimler equivalent to a murderer, rapist, coward or traitor.
They're not "military" but they have ranks, even now soldiers won't mind shit talk until you put your hands on them and take one of their pins. If anything Boimler underreacted
The outpost scientist isn't as smart as she thinks, starfleet is the space navy they observe a lot of what earths naval forces used to do so wearing a uniform is correct and essential.

I could see how much pride Boimler took in being a part of the fleet. In the near future, he will be the captain the fleet needs most.
Yeah Boimler whole thing is that he is all about Starfleet, he follows rules and regulations, respects the chain of command and all that. Starfleet is his life and he will do all he can to protect it.
Captain. Nah, Boimler is admiral material.
@@fumarc4501 At any rank, he has the skill, courage, wits and heart to become a great senior command officer!
He would definitely have grown into the roll of Lieutenant if his transporter clone hadn't screwed him over.

To be fair, if Boimler tried to mess with a Vulcan, he probably would get bodied.
the vulcan actually looks annoyed
"Just a human being emotional. Nothing new here."
@@firebladeentertainment5739 Vulcans are in fact capable of very strong emotions. They are just as passionate on the inside as Romulans, which makes sense given their shared origins. But not every Vulcan has gone to the degree of emotional supression that Tuvok has. Kohlinar, after all, is an extreme. But generally it is discouraged among Vulcan to express these emotions. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen anyway sometimes.

There's a saying, "When the nice guy rages, the devil shivers.". In other words, never piss off Bradward Boimler.

After watching this episode: "Captain Boimler will be one of Starfleet's greatest heroes!"

@akbarrmd7714 the test they're referring to is a rigged simulation in episode 2-8 intended to make the crew fail by blocking creative solutions. Although Boimler did try the Kobayashi Maru 7 times(I think, might have been 10) before giving up.
Edit: Looked it up. He failed 17 times! Mate does not give up.
1:33 That Klingon in the background is watching this chaos unfold...

Looks like a female klingon oh dear boimler is prey again
To be fair the Klingons know better than to piss Starfleet off *that* much.
@@chaoticsky106 Well, Klingons also respect someone who stands up for themselves.
Remember Lt. Pazlar and the Klingon Chef on DS9? She gets the good stuff because she tears him a new ass. He laughs, tells her to wait, and gives her and Bashir the best he has.
She's thinking, "oh yeah, that human get it."
I also loved how they mentioned right before this clip that the uni forms aren't enforced across the fleet. I think this is a reference to Star Trek online where when you can mandate specific uniforms for your vessel.
when we saw riker, titan crew other starfleet officers they're still wearing the DS9 uniforms lead me to believe that different parts of starfleet wear different uniforms kind of like in ww2 where european theater soldiers definitely don't wear he same uniforms as their pacific theater counterparts.
My interpretation is that there's general uniform guidelines for ranks and colours. But the specifics of the uniform is up to the discretion of each ship's captain to make each each other identifiable in a Starfleet setting.
@@utubrGaming Yeah that seem to be the thing. Uniforms can be updated per Ships affections discretions.
In the end it's probably up to the captain to have the uniform be "updated", altought they would -at least I would- place the change up for a vote for the different options.
@@utubrGaming More likely, Starfleet Command has been routinely updating uniforms as the recent conflicts revealed weaknesses in the designs. After all, with matter replicators as standard, it's not a massive imposition to issue new uniforms, especially to ships on shorter assignments.
The LD uniform looks bad in live action.
Outpost: *Jacks the rank pip*
Boimler: "I'm about to stop being sorry."
Outpost: *Tramples the rank pip*
Boimler: "I am officially done being sorry."
Something that gets forgotten is that Boimler is actually pretty tough. Compared to the likes of Mariner who's unreasonably good in a fight he comes up short, but when he's in a brawl he's able to last a while, which is sometimes all you need in a critical situation. Like when he was in the mine trying to survive Packlets during his time on the Titan, he survived long enough to evac his team and himself.
Also when he was being hunted a few episodes back. Sure he got caught, but he was able to evade in limited space for a long time before he made the mistake that got him speared.
Boimler was REALLY toughened by his time aboard the Titan. It made him stronger and more confident to have served under Riker. Mariner is unreasonably good in a fight because she LOVES fighting. She works out by simulating a CARDASSIAN PRISON BREAK, her weapon of choice is a god damn Bat'leth, and she very likely served during the Dominion War. Mariner LOVES to fight, so obviously she's had a LOT of training.
He's a trained officer in basically space coast guard. What do you expect?
Mariner is not "unreasonably good" in a fight. she just better than what you like. It makes sense she can fight because she been around nothing but fighters
@@IronheartvsMiles I don't mean "unreasonably: in terms of her being a girl or in terms of realism, I mean in terms of she can absolutely annihilate anyone else we see on screen in single combat except maybe Shaxx.

Lets not forget he (eventually) scored 100% in a scenario on a Borg cube by himself.
"Do you like engineering?"
Uh, LOVE IT! You guys do that?"
That always gets me.
"Your ship smells like asssssss!!!"
Omg 😂
I genuinely felt really bad for Boimer when the douchey scientists broke his pip, but later in the episode you see them cowering in fear as he stomps their table into the dirt. and Ransom says they cried. SO satisfying.
Holly Hell! This episode was awesome. Rutherford's backstory and Boimler going ballistic. There's just so much to love. 😆
so rutherford used to be a rebel racer. i prefer that to normal rutherford.
Except we didn’t get to see Ransom get the savage beating of a lifetime for being an unreasonable unredeemable prick.
I love them both
A fan theory I like is that starfleet changes the informs often so if accidental time travel happens you have a frame of reference for the time frame
Ooo I like that theory.
My favorite line (shortly after this scene) from Boimler's rant: I failed the Kobayashi Maru 17 times, motherf***er! 😂
Bones said no one's gives it twice, kirk did it 3 times. This mf did it 17 times!
You think he ever figured out it's designed to make you fail?
It attests to his determination.
@@folklore19 after the 17th try his commanding officer probably filled him in. We saw how dedicated he is to performance perfection in the Borg simulation, he probably would've kept going
@@beastinthesky6774 Yeah I figure. Boimler is SO persistent he'd likely spend DAYS in the Kobayashi Maru simulator to brute force a solution.
I've been rewatching this bit over and over all day, its just so satisfying.
Especially if you've ever had to argue against someone saying starfleet is just a military.
🖖
Picking off somebody's rank insignia and stomping on it is just asking for a fight.
No wonder Ransom said he'd get Boimler a beer.
Or that the federation is screwed up beyond measure.
Is anyone saying it's just a military? Usually the argument is that it does everything a military is supposed to do, but acts like it isn't one.

The man speaks the truth. Despite what the reputation Starfleet has, its not exactly easy. You'll get attack at random for no reason, Fall victim to Q, Encounter strange anomalies, Visit strange places that may or may not latch something onto you with some weird ass disease, etc. But all in all Starfleet despite what people generally think of the organization, is always the one who goes knee deep first into the fray and fight whatever they encounter head on. That is what being a Starfleet Officer is all about.
This was the realest moment in the whole show. Boimler living the service industry dream

Boimler really spoke the truth here. Starfleet is the reason why so many alien races were discovered and are co-existing with other alien races. And they have saved the Galaxy from threats like the Borg, Dominion, and evil space entities.
Not to mention they save literally all the idiots bashing them here every other goddamned day because they touched something they shouldn't have.
Preach!
1:57 hold up, was that Morn? I'm amazed Boimler could rant over that guy, he's such a chatterbox.
I know, right? Apparently they had to cut 90% of his dialogue from DS9 because he just wouldn't shut up.
Ensign Bueller turns to the camera: "Here's where Brad goes berserk!"
Without Starfleet, Xindi would have destroyed the earth along with idea of a federation and Half the galaxy would be under Romulan control.
Exactly!
Angry Boimler is a treasure, even more so than regular Boimler
Wow for once Biomler is in big trouble but despite that Mariner was able to sign up more people to join Starfleet which made Commander Ransom very happy. I think there's a hint at the end of that episode that suspect that Mariner will be thinking about joining the theif that she just met today if Ransom did kick her out of Starfleet in Season 3 finale.
In reality Bloimer basically get just a slap on the wrist with Ransom honestly proud of what he had done as probably the heckling happen every time and Starfleet need/must always act as the adult in the room and just take it from people that in the end are ungratefull karens as they were saved many many many times by them

Yes, thank you for summarising the episode. Saves people a trip to Wikipedia, I guess.

I don't blame Boimler for losing it. He's always wanted to be a starship captain, and this civilian comes by and "demotes" him while laughing. I wouldn't be surprised if bullies from his hometown of Modesto did stuff like this to him because his family made raisins.
A bit 'money lenders in the temple for me', but, Boims, I'm right there with you. Exploring, finding, learning, right there with you.
Those base guys wore the same uniform as each other, for sake's sake! He's right to lose it front of hypocrisy.
I'm a little impressed by that barely-seen Vulcan woman's calm, I wonder if it was someone we meet later?
He had that Jesus in the market energy
That’s the equivalent of tearing up a dude’s master’s degree. This show isn’t great about making it understood, but not everybody on a starfleet ship is an officer, you have to actually go through the academy and study stuff like astronomy, advanced mathematics, biochemistry, sociology, political science, it would be a lot of work.
same thing happens if you tore off the brass of anyone in the military, except they would beat your A$$ on sight XD
I find it funny that the outpost scientists have the nerve to look down on Star Fleet cuz they're job is 5 times more dangerous and Star Fleet normally cleans up after their messes. Being an outpost scientist is worse than being the red guy in star trek lol cuz you're more likely to die a horrific death more than anything
Usually before the episode even starts
To be fair, from the outpost scientists perspective they likely see themselves as willingly putting themseles in those risky situations too for the purpose of research on alien civilization. It maty not be that they are neccsarily as truely opposed to starfeet as much as them being rude makes them seem but that over time interecting with starfleet effects on their own projects has downsized their feelings for how beneficial starfleet's behavior is at times.
Collecting doesn’t make you happy! YOUR SHIPS SMELL LIKE ASSSSSS! Had me dead
After watching this episode, I quickly came to realize that archeologist is based on the ‘other side’ of every fandom. The kind that is critical and wrong over almost everything. Boimler is that nice, tolerant fan who just snaps after seeing that one critical fan for the umpteenth time.
-Starfleet is a military - Except they explicitly say and insist they’re not on more occasions than one can count. Just because you can defend yourself doesn’t mean you’re a military. And the military isn’t the only one with their ranking system, the Fire Department is an example. Plus what are you gonna do during a time of war when you don’t have a formal military? You organize, it’s not a free for all. But Starfleet is not a military. If they were something like a paramilitary, then they’d say that.
-Captain Freeman bombed the Paklets, good on her/she should be arrested or die - Rewatch the episode, they literally said and showed how she was framed.
-The Federation is evil/shitty, the Prime Directive is awful and wrong, they should help people not let them die - Why would Gene of all people want to make the Federation such a bad organization? Use your imagination as to why the Prime Directive is the way it is before you start spitting. It’s a necessary double-edged sword. Cultural contamination is a very serious issue.
And I can continue. Star Wars goes through the same stuff within its fandom, they’re the first example I can think of off the top of my head. In my experience, anyway, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen somebody call or suggest the Jedi are evil. It’s like, you do realize that Darth Sidious is still the *bad guy,* right?
Actually, she's just being a jerk to cause a distraction and steal something XD. It happened late on the episode, but yes: she probably based her facade on these kind of mindsets.
Good speech😁
well if i must do the devil's advocate, Starfleet being military or civilian (scientific and exploration) is not a clear cut as it has mission that cover both (as it also the primary defense of the UFP)...honestly i always thought of her as a multimission organization that after decades of peace is somewhat ashamed of her military part and desire people forget that exist. For the prime directive, it was basically a guideline for captains that were for months out of contact from the command that with the passing of time has evolved in something like a biblical commandment
Star Wars doesn't work as clean cut. Because the theory/spirituality of the force is based on Taoism. And the very act of dividing the whole into "Good/Evil" dichotomy is reductionist and counterintuitive to the philosophy itself.
To be fair, like said above, Star Wars isn't as clean cut. As the Jedi, were not perfect and frankly were not on the most "good" guys" it was the select few that were actually good or decent guys.
As their morals and ideals were so peculiar and undermining, especially when it came to Anakin. It didn't make them bad guys obviously, but they weren't what you could really call good guys.
And for palps, it was pretty damn bad admittedly, not much to beat around the hush on that one
@@lukedalton I wouldn’t go as far as call it commandments, but I think you have the right idea. As for the military part, certainly ashamed of the necessity to band together as one and fight wars but they don’t try to have people forget. They’re not a military but you need to fight sometimes if you wanna exist, and coordination is essential in anything war. I wouldn’t say Starfleet is civilian, either, though. They’re something more, I believe and something good.
I love how they fit all those throwbacks into one giant rant!
This is what happens when Boimler gos nuts when someone disrespect Starfleet. He should do this more often.
Boimler needed a win, and he took it
He didn't just take it. He owned it. Rode it and put it away wet.

This was the best part of one of the better episodes. Biomler needs to let his inner demon out more often.
Nah. You gotta parse something like this out carefully. This is a gem to be polished slowly, rather than just passing it out.
I love how this is a recurring theme with Lower Decks cast. Even Ryker and his hit squad bring it up.
They all just wanna run around and scan shiny things and map quasars. Sure blowing up badguys is fun but a lot of starfleet is legitimately unhappy with all the fighting they have to do. All the traps and snares and betrayals and romulan nonsense.
"We just want to scan quasars"
Mar says it, Tindy says it, Boimler, Ryker, The Captain says it.
Its oddly... Wholesome, that a lot of star fleet would be super happy being left alone to scan rocks and poke artifacts.
He just told the Ferengi to (long censored) ..i fall over laughing my head off at that!
My respect for Boimler sky rocket after he raged about everything especially the Doctor's agency and he's right without Star Fleet most of the outpost scientist would've been run over by borgs, Klingon and space pirates.
My favourite part in the episode to be honest, watched it several times over. Would love to hear the uncensored version.
I hope they make a behind the scenes comparison book like what they did for TNG and Voyager. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻
everyone snaps. if someone isnt snapping, then they arent string, theyre rope. the scary thing is that with enough force wearing down the rope, that snaps too.
The snapping of a rope has enough force to take someone's head off fyi...
The line "we just want to study fucking quasars" always gets me. It really is what starfleet is actually about when you look at them.
The Doctor: "I haven't seen a crew this dysfunctional since the Cerritos."
Boimler laying out the truth! Power! 🤟
I love Boimler this season. He’s a lot more confident and willing to put people in their place. Amazing character development for the Boimler.
Love the Klingon at 1:34 likely getting hot and bothered at Boimler's justified rage
Klingons love people who stand up for themselves.
Remember the Klingon Chef on DS9 and Lt. Pazlar?
I don't blame him, those guys were the worst!
The voice of that gray alien cracks me up every time. Sounds like a voice you would hear in robot chicken
I can see why people compare this ST series with Rick and Morty, but for me it has a Brooklyn Nine Nine vibe. This and ST Enterprise are my most loved of the ST series.

The nice ones are always the scariest. Just ask Bronies. I mean, Fluttershy may be nice, but, as the old saying goes, don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
1:27 underrated quote
To explain why Boimler was enraged:
Forcibly ripping out rank insignia is one of the gravest acts that can be done against military personnel.
The *only* time it is a legitimate action is when the soldier is being dishonorably dismissed. By pulling out his pips, the Female Outpost Scientist effectively called Boimler equivalent to a murderer, rapist, coward or traitor.
Well, ok, except Starfleet isn't military!
This scene was perfect, “we don’t want to protect you from the Klingons or the borg, we just want to study fucking quasars”
Ran away instantly. She was all bark and no bite. 😆
1:05
Someone tried to tell me once that Boimler didn't have repressed rage. I was like I'm sorry have you WATCHED the show?? HAHAHAHA gotta love him.
Stop trapping people in games!!
Gotta love Lower Decks always hitting us with the Trek Deep Cuts. Even hardcore DS9 Fans usually try to forget that episode.
@@mylesbarrett2031 It got a big laugh out of me!
It’s one of my favorite episodes
"Why do you have uniforms. You're not in a military."
NOAA Corps would like a word.
Honestly though if I had a pip and some outpost dipshit yanked it and stomped on it, I'd have the exact same reaction.
They're not "military" but they have ranks, even now soldiers won't mind shit talk until you put your hands on them and take one of their pins. If anything Boimler underreacted
Granted, you ever do something as stupid as pull off the rank insignia off someone's uniform and see if you keep your teeth.
The outpost scientist isn't as smart as she thinks, starfleet is the space navy they observe a lot of what earths naval forces used to do so wearing a uniform is correct and essential.
It always makes for a good show when the nice one snaps.
"WE don't wanna protect you from Klingons and the Borg! We just wanna explore and study f***ing quasars!" Quaid's delivery is just brilliant!
