    Boimler and Tendi are rarely paired up for their A/B-plots, as well as Rutherford and Mariner. I was kind of disappointed much wasn’t done with that, they were just kind of … there and it was Boimler and Rutherford’s story chiefly. Not much character interaction between the duo. That made it a bit funnier when Rutherford was like “Tendi is right” and Mariner was taking a bit of umbrage to that.

      Yeah a little bit of a shame how inconsequential the pairings wound up being, but still a fun outing. Also I enjoyed how both A & B plots dealt with AI threats with one being silly but existentially deadly, and the other AI being superficially deadly but relatively harmless.

    A bit of a weird episode in that the protagonists didn’t solve much, the two problems just sort of fizzled out for their own reasons.

    Kind of surprised that Peanut Hamper was up for parole-- Memory Alpha doesn’t list a specific stardate for A Mathematically Perfect Redemption but judging by the adjacent years and the stardate AGIMUS listed she’s been in Daystrom for less than two years.

    IMO this episode confirms that what we saw last week wasn’t an anomaly, Rutherford’s got it bad for Tendi. It’s kind of weird to have him focusing on her encouragement to the exclusion of Mariner (who was in his immediate vicinity!) otherwise.

      One can say the same for plenty of good stories like Indiana Jones.

        I want to disagree with this but… you’re right. Heck, in Raiders, Jones actively makes the entire situation worse before the story kind of fixes itself.
