Regulations are written in blood. They had food slots, something bad happened, and now they don't.
In this case, the girls lost nearly 1 year of their finite life spans.
That's horrible given how short human lives are.
Multiple transporter rooms, maybe?
The transporter room designated for officers has a food slot.
I think about that every time when in fiction a characters gets stranded elsewhen for a period of time, then just returns to their moment of departure or shortly after. Folks, calendar-wise you're going to die sooner because you "spent" lifetime elsewhere!
Exactly, all because Boimler was doing something dumb and violated existing regulations.
Nah, they're written in writers' rooms.
Yea, Mariner kept treating the situation as if it was an "Inner light" scenario. But she actually spent a year of her life in prison!
Mariner is such a fangirl
Rules are often a result of someone doing something so stupid people realized it wasn't safe to just assume people wouldn't do the dumb thing. Or to cover legal liability for when people do the stupid.
Where she made friends and learned to play a flute. Sort of.
It is quite possible her playing would never have been 'good' due to the poor tuning of an insturment made outof material that is impossible to tune as it will deform while playing.
Remember, Mariner LIKES being in the brig.
Time flew by while watching this episode!
A couple of episode namedrops too many aside, this is another strong entry in the latest season. Indeed, I was waiting for "Disaster" to be mentioned, but it wasn't. Arguably one other episode as well, which wasn't, but I think that's part of the fun in this episode.
Loved the use of colors and direction.
The time dilation plot is used amusingly quite well and doesn't feel overdone.
I was laughing out loud probablty the most times per episode so far, if not the previous outiong.
The irony that T'Ana would create a... hair care product is hysterical, but due solely out of necessity.
T'Ana had the best parody line with "I'm a doctor, not a ___" - the episode had a few such jibes and they're all fantastic.
Great use of the "one who looks too much" trope. Snell rocked. Reminded me a little of the Roswell episode in Futurama, but "the town kook" is an old trope, also used well here and that's what counts.
The "fully functional" line is the best subtle dirty joke, ever.
I wish Jon Lovitz had done the voice of Snell.
9.8/10, then rounded up!

And the eyeballs were right out of the season finale of "Futurama"'s first season, only no Slurm was involved.
