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.
You're being a pineapple ^v0
 
Am I oblivious or does this not include the "nestworld" establishing shot?
It’s in there as screenshot #428. Assuming that’s the one you’re talking about. :)

Loved the opening sequence in this one. This has got to be one of the most beautiful and cinematic series of shots in the entire show to date …

While it was nice to see other members of Migleemo’s species, visit their homeworld and get a name for them, the story itself fell rather flat for me. The Klingon A-plot was alright, I guess. I’ve never been big on Klingon episodes in Trek and my opinion about them is only marginally changed by the fact that it’s a comedy. Still, the story felt like it had its heart in the right place and there were some really funny moments and callbacks.
 
Marc Okrand was credited as a consultant, so they went right to the original source for the Klingon words used in the episode.

As always Jörg is good at spotting the smaller details

This was awesome!

I love how the theme was replaced with scenes of the farm.

Warp drive discovered to experience strange new meals! Love that!

I also love how their homeworld is called a 'nestworld'!

The near accident between the two Klingons on bikes... hilarious!

The Rite of Unending Pain is just like the ritual from TNG's "The Icarus Factor". And Boimler's solution was hilarious and awesome at the same time.

Tendi and Rutherford wearing bowties after making that meal... loved it!

"You play games with death, little warrior. I like it." That might be my favorite quote of the episode.


Dr. Milgleemo's story was great and a lot of fun, but the Klingon story was much stronger. Just perfection, that one.


This episode would easily be a 9... but I lean towards a 10, so I give it that. This was a truly honorable episode.

I took it as a reference to the Insurrection opening! Farm scenes with great music.

Not for the subtitle team though :D
 
Another great episode to enjoy.
Sometimes I just wonder if Mariner is that young because she already experienced a lot and has many friends across the universe... ;)
 
Had fun with this episode, I love seeing klingon stuff fleshed out. Love that there's a fleet related bureaucracy and farming...

She's apparently in her mid 30s? Since this is around 2380 still, and she was a ensign for the dominion war era, which would start in 2373- assuming a birthdate of like, 2345-2347.... she's been around for most of the exciting stuff. I sometimes forget how squished the dates for TNG DS9 VOY are.... VOY ends in 2378, DS9 in 2375, TNG in 23-friggin-70....
 
Mariner would've likely graduated from the academy around 8 years before the first season, so she could've done an entire 170 episode Star Trek show and a movie before Lower Decks.

Mariner would have been born in 2350, given she was 18 in 2368, TNG's fifth season. So she's currently 31 or 32, I can never remember if the current year on this show is 2381 or 82.
