Star Trek: Lower Decks: The Spy Humongous review

 The Spy Humongous

The sixth episode of the second season. Cerritos arrives at the Pakled homeworld, called Pakled Planet, to negotiate a cease fire. The Pakleds send an envoy (in actuality a spy) on board while Freeman and Shax are on the surface. Meanwhile Boimler hangs out with a group of junior officers called ‘The Red Shirts’ while Tendi and the others clean up anomalous junk. The shenanigans on the surface are done well, showing that the Pakleds really are that dumb. (Duh!) The way the situation with the envoy/spy was dealt with was excellent.

But something happens to Tendi in the course of her duties. The way Boimler deals with that situation was appropriately comedic, and well done.  The way he grows as a result of the interaction with the ‘Red Shirts’ was quite well done too. Overall it was a great episode. 8.35/10.
