These episodes were both great. I have shipped Mariner/Ransom since s1 and, well, honestly, this new dynamic of theirs probably makes it even less likely than it ever was lol. But they were fun episodes. I do wish Lower Decks had more episodes, since they're only 20 min/ea.

That's one thing I don't like about the streaming trend. They have a lot more freedom to do what they want but the seasons are much shorter.

I don't need 28 episode seasons, but maybe 15?

Yeah, honestly so much is lost with the shorter seasons. And wrt LD in particular, I get that filming 28 episodes a year was hell on the actors/production, but surely doing VA is less time consuming than live action acting?

You might be underestimating how much effort the animation is.
