Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A consultant arrives on the U.S.S. Cerritos to run drills that require the lower deckers and bridge crew to swap duties.
Our Take
A fun premise that pays off as the crew stumbles through each other’s jobs, with Boimler’s command anxiety getting the best material. The drill format lets the show bounce between scenarios quickly, and most of the gags land, though a few bits overstay their welcome. It’s a breezy, confident episode that pokes at Trek’s habit of putting unqualified people in charge. Worth your time.
