@ValueSubtracted I know it’s a minor point and there’s not a lot to be done about it but Boimler is one of the shortest main Trek characters and Jack Quaid just towers over everyone else on the Enterprise.

MODERATORS
The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That'll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.
I find this explanation plausible and funny.
tfw when you're a 6"5' Chad and are still considered a pocket prince in the 24th century
He got stretched by the transporter accident.
I am so excited for this. My two favorite current ST series coming together for what I am sure is some fantastic fan service.
There just doesn’t seem to be a limit to the amount of hype I’m willing to soak up in anticipation of this crossover.
Nothing close to too much as yet.
I find Lower Decks cringey so I'll probably skip this episode
Fair enough. Could still start watching and then stop if you really do not like it.
While I'm personally not really interested in a animated comedy Star Trek, I do understand why people like the show.
That being said, I'm really not excited for this crossover at all. I think Lower Deck's style, particularly in its dialogue, will just bring out the worst in Strange New Worlds. I expect it'll fall to whether you do or don't like Lower Decks whether you'll like that episode.
I thought the crossover was alright despite the fact I'm not a fan of Lower Decks. However I do think this season of SNW is way too comedic and lighthearted, like they're trying to be The Orville almost (well, it's first two seasons anyway, because ironically the third season of The Orville comes off as more serious than SNW now).
I didn't really want to post this, because I think it's unnecessarily negative and people here seem to enjoy it.
But now that the cat's out of the bag... I hate this type of humour so much. I feel like too much of it has already spilled into SNW, it makes it a difficult watch at times. The episode before last, for example.
Agreed :)
