I've found this season to be...okay, so far. Didn't really have anything to say about the first three episodes. I was hoping they would go a bit further in terms of plots since it's the final season, but they all felt typical lightweight Lower Decks (maybe I shouldn't have expected anything else.) I rarely laugh out loud at the show either. I generally like the humour, but I feel (like with the plots!) they could maybe go a bit harder. Anyway, I liked the Klingon plot this week. I liked they they killed off the bady guy in the end, made it feel a bit weightier and fit with Klingon culture. The b-plot did absolutely nothing for me though, I've never found the bird guy amusing in the slightest.
 
Kor's speech about Klingon restaurants serving the grandchildren of men he murdered always put me in mind of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the role of samurai. During that time period, since Japan was united, it was not a place where there was much use for warriors. However, it was where almost all of the literature on the Way of the Warrior was written. The Klingons only have personal duels and bravado to make up for the fact the time of the great wars is over. Except, of course, Gowron fought the Kingon Civil War, the Federation, and Dominion War so all of that is no longer an issue. They no longer need to posture since the number of veterans is now huge.
 
Weakest episode of the season for sure even though the Klingon stuff was great.

The food critic stuff…was…oof.

I thought it was gonna be more of a “Family” type episode at the start. And I was fully expecting a Martok cameo.
 
I found this episode to be just not entertaining at all. The main plot was boring and predictable, just a bunch of predictable Klingon jokes and wasting time on characters I couldn't care less about. The bird foodies was just stupid.

I voted 4/10, not the worst of the series but the worst episode in awhile.
