Man, I've been waiting for a Boimler/T'lyn episode ever since they confirmed she was going to be a recurring character! It's cool how having an extra member unlocks new sub-group to bounce ideas off each other.
A little let down by this one if I'm being honest. The setup is pretty fun and Vexilon is a charming character. I feel like there was nothing unexpected in Boimler's plotline though. He's stressed and sweaty just like we (and his friends) expect, he screws up a little, pep talk from T'lyn, he's got his confidence and is a good boi leader. Sure, him questioning why he's fit to lead is interesting, but the little "get your shit together Boimler!" moment is basically what we've seen in something the hunt vs Kranch and the resolution isn't that much different.
I think the only bit of the episode that landed for me was the Dirk/Ransom bit at the end. Sure it feels a little mean and un-Starfleet but the past couple episodes have built up why Ransom's actually a good superior officer/Mariner's attitude about him is wrong, and it's fun to peel back the reasons that he's not so above it all.
