“Two people, one brain.” “That’s hard to argue with.” lmao Rose McIver is great at the physical comedy. She was hilarious as Nancy in Sam’s body. That was a creative way to let Jay see the ghosts for an episode. It was kind of him to let Pete go to Philly to see Laura and Little Pete one more time. Pete getting to hug his daughter made me tear up. Zombie Jay following the fry and then Sam saying “I hate zombies” made me laugh. We got to see how Sas and Thor met! I love that Thor learned Lenape and still remembers it. Aw, Jay named the restaurant after his father and Sam finally got added to the family group chat. ❤️

“All hands, brace for weird.” Lol Cool that the fissure still exists. I like that Captain Freeman ended up at Starbase 80 like her counterpart, but was actually happy to be going there in the end. And I think I saw the 1701-E there at the end. Tendi and T’Lyn were able to work together as Science Besties, Rutherford fell back in love with the Cerritos, and Mariner and Boimler got sort-of promoted. A good ending for everyone. I’m really going to miss this show.

I’ve been wondering what the other Boimler has been up to. Turns out he has a whole motley crew of officers from various universes investigating the fissures. I love that he was so happy to see Mariner and it was interesting to see a Mariner who’s an engineer and a rule follower. That in a different reality, Starfleet developed the technology to explore different universes is pretty cool. All the different Harry Kims who never got promoted ending up on the same ship is perfect. And it’s two pip Harry Kim who ends up being the villain. Original Boimler receiving the message and screaming had me rolling.

“You’re both civilized women. Just do cocaine.” lmao I would’ve loved that dinosaur bed when I was a kid, and honestly, I still kind of want it now. It’s sweet that Nigel learned a bunch of dinosaur facts for Isaac as a surprise and it’s nice that they really talked and decided to be friends. Poor Jay having to assemble and take apart and then reassemble that bed. I love that everyone kept blaming Pete for telling Sam to bring up the book.

“That was set to kill.” ”So am I!” Dr. T’Ana is deranged and I love her. I wonder if her entire species has such a high pain tolerance or if it’s just her. Security officer.

Sam really needs to work on her ability to tell ghosts and livings apart. Fortunately it all worked out. A vampire revolutionary war soldier named Isaac Higgentooth is hilarious. And damn, Isaac sure was fixated on sandwiches, huh? I love that Escarghost/Shelly the snail got sucked off before any of the human ghosts. Though, as Thor said, “Most animals go right up because heart so pure.” The snail taking hours to ascend was perfect.

I’m so happy for Georgie! I was rooting for her pretty much from the beginning. Her showstopper was gorgeous and her flavors sounded delicious. Of all the bakers this season, I think her decorating skills were the best, especially when it came to cakes. She was so shocked when she won and had me tearing up. I laughed when her daughter tackle-hugged her and they fell over, then Paul had her roll down the hill. Going in to the showstopper, Christiaan was ahead, but his flavors were a bit too much. Black licorice is not a flavor I enjoy, so it didn’t sound very appealing. His cake did look cool though, especially that top layer. I felt bad for Dylan. He was trying to shake off the signature, but then he did poorly in the technical and it seemed like he got a bit in his head about it. When Paul said genoise sponge was a bad idea and then Dylan said he was using it, I had a feeling it wasn’t going to go well. But even though he didn’t win, he got a great job out of it! I always love seeing the updates at the end. This was a great group of bakers, one of my favorites.

Looks like the fissures are getting more frequent. First there was a microscopic universe, now there’s a universe where everything is purple. I’m with Mariner, I want to see the purple Enterprise. Mariner calling it “a Carbon Creek situation” made me laugh since I just watched that episode yesterday. I love that she made friends with her fellow prisoners and made a soap flute. ”You really are fully functional” made me legit lol. Tendi and T’Lyn get to be co-Senior Science Officers, aww.

Everyone’s showstoppers looked amazing, particularly the avocados Dylan made and Georgie’s basket. Gill was the right choice to go home since her showstopper was a bit more simple in terms of decoration. She’s been great, I love that all her bakes were for happy memories or people she knew and that she hugged the camera guy at the end. I laughed when she swiped that lilac bowl. I felt bad for Georgie during the technical. She was really upset. Alison was very sweet, hugging her and reminding her she’d never forgive herself if she gave up so close to the finale. All the remaining bakers are great, but I’m really rooting for Georgie the most.

The son of a cube and the daughter of an orb having a Romeo and Juliet style love affair is hilarious. I knew that’s where the plot was headed as soon as the orb said his kid was missing, too. That poor holodeck has seen things. I had to rewatch the scene of Doctor T’Ana fighting Boimler multiple times. The constant bleeping just made it funnier. Mariner did good with Ensign Olly. She’s becoming a mentor, of sorts. Second episode with no mention of the fissures. I wonder if we’ll learn more next ep or if it’s all being saved for the finale.

I like that we finally got to see Starbase 80 after all the talk about how terrible it is. And yeah, it definitely was that bad. Hardware from the 2260s, no replicators, no holodeck. The arcade was pretty cool, though and the Galaga-looking game made me laugh. Good on Captain Freeman for deciding to help them out because she understands being on a ship overlooked by Starfleet.

Alberta making alarm clock noises to wake Sam up was hilarious. She got a bit too overzealous and her plan to take out the competition understandably hurt Sam’s feelings, but I also get why it meant so much to her. Sam and Alberta performing together at the end was awesome. They both looked so happy. And I love how proud Jay was of her. Sass realizing he wasn’t dating Marissa but rather Jay, and Pete being jealous cracked me up. Pete using his powers to be a matchmaker (or a spectral pimp, according to Flower 😂) isn’t a bad idea. There’s sure to be other ghosts who can travel.

Boimler being an expert in Klingon history and bureaucracy makes so much sense. I can’t wait for him to have a full grown beard by the end of the season. Dr. Migleemo’s species being named the Klowakhans is so funny to me. So the inter-dimensional fissures are being created by someone, not just randomly appearing. Curious about who’s creating them and why.

I love that Trevor became a legend, not for being a Wall Street dude bro, but for his kindness to Pinkus. The Run of Fun was hilarious. Nice that both Trevor and Isaac got in on it. Looks like Pete needs to stay away from Donna, yikes.

“The Gormagander or those Galaxy’s Child things?” Lmao Boimler really came through on that mission and even has an in with an admiral now. Mariner is showing a lot of growth, too, even if she did try to take the easy way out initially. Love T’Lyn getting to hang out with her music idol who apparently practices Vulcan philosophy. The microscopic parallel universe is a really cool concept. Looks like those fissures are becoming a real problem.
