And if that holodeck scenario doesn't work, you can play a song by Milli Vanilli lamenting the ineffectiveness of it...

The who does the bell toll for?
I dunno, but the sun also rises.
A great finale! My first 10 of the season. While this didn't have quite the highs of previous seasons, it also avoided having any sub-par episodes, so overall maybe my second favorite after season 2.
So glad to get T'Lyn back for these last two episodes. She makes all her scenes better. Can't wait for season 5 (hopefully it wont' be too long of a wait even with the impacts from the strikes). Hopefully she will become a season regular.
I was a little surprised we didn't get any tease about William Boimler, or did I miss a post credits scene?
Now that Mariner has figured out some of he issues I wonder: 1) what will be the new challenges she faces as a growing character? and 2) how fast can she rank up when she wants to (and how far will it go before she isn't lower decks anymore)?
I agree that I didn't get the "feels" as much with this finale as I have previous seasons, but I still loved it.
Aside from the typical Star Trek reason for always taking all the "main characters" with you on a mission, I think it was appropriate that Boimler got the temporary command of the Cerritos. Because 1) Ransom had been really liking his performance this season (continuing that arc), and 2) that this command is the perfect "lower decks" command: it seems cool (for us the audience and for Boimler personally), but in the big picture, he is just towing a piece of junk for a few minutes while the "real heroes" get to go off and breach the shield.

Truth!
Hard to say. She's still Mariner. And although the LD writers are growing their characters, they won't want to stray too far from what endeared them to us in the first place.
One interesting fact is that Ransom reacts to Lorcano with absolute disgust when describing him. Given he's Mariner's age, I wonder if he was at the academy when "First Duty" happens.
He is?
Oh, I really want to hear this one...
My first thought was that it might have to do when she was born, but you have some interesting ideas there.
Hmm, that makes sense actually. It'd be interesting to see a bit of Ransom's background.
Well this is a franchise where a hot planet is named "Vulcan" and a planet with Cat people is called "Cait".
I have to say I thought Robert Duncan McNeill was pretty wooden and lifeless the times I've heard him voice Tom Paris, (which is admittedly not a lot just the episode of Lower Decks he was briefly in and Star Trek: Online) but he really knocked it out of the park as Locarno!
They both seem to be in their thirties.
Ah, so you're just guessing rather than stating facts. Got it.
Personally, I think doubt Ransom is younger than mid-forties, but that's me.

No way to tell, since he's a cartoon character, and no biographical data on when he was born has emerged. You could at least surmise that Riker was originally supposed to be mid 30's, since that's how old Jonathan Frakes was at the time.
Late 30's or 40's would be my guess, since it's unlikely that a lower-tier ship like the Cerritos would have a first like Riker, who rose rapidly through the ranks. That's old enough that he likely would not have been at Academy alongside Mariner and Nova Squadron.

Can someone who wanted Sito Jaxa to be revealed as alive tell me, like, why? What would Sito being reveled as alive this whole time or resurrected or whatever have added to the episode or to the universe?
And 'orion' itself is an Earth term. Probably "Mistress of the Winter Constellations" is just a close enough translation to English.Well this is a franchise where a hot planet is named "Vulcan" and a planet with Cat people is called "Cait".
Happier ending.
