Featured review
It even has a "Fist of God Mountain"
Boims does a Harry Kim where he won't let the people under his command do the work! (See Voy S07E08 "Nightingale") But this time it has catastrophic results!
Meanwhile, Freeman screws up a "planetary" computer, by doing the exact same thing Boimler is doing (i.e. Not taking advantage of Billup's engineering talents in the first place).
While Tendi/Rutherford/Mariner trigger... a Wadi game?! AND a Betazoid Gift-Box (but without Armin Shimmerman's face), PLUS Picard's Ressikan Memory-Probe.
This is a basic exposition of what happens when you try to do the work yourself and you don't allow the people who are trained for it to actually DO it.
It's a big mess all around, but I was pleased to see a Ringworld show up in Trek. There was even a Kzinti character!
The Anomaly room comes into play again, for more wonderful unintended mischief!
This is the third episode featuring Gabrielle Ruiz "T'Lyn" as an official "provisional ensign" on The Cerritos, the first was "Twovix", she made herself useful there as well.
Watch how Lower Decks undo their foog-ups thus time!

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLarry Niven's works are reflected in this episode. The Corazonia megastructure is from the Ringworld series. The Kzinti character of Ensign Taylor is from "Tales from Known Space".
While Ensign Taylor has appeared in previous episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks, this is the first time his name is used.
- GoofsWhen reinstalling the outdated power cylinders, the final step is to rotate all the cylinders simultaneously. However, there are only 5 Starfleet officers present, each rotating one cylinder, yet there are 6 cylinders. The one between ensigns Taylor and Merp seems to rotate on its own.
