Star Trek Lower Decks "Something Borrowed, Something Green"

[glimblshanks]

Okay, I'm rewatching Amok Time and like,,,

I guess I just hadn't put together exactly how much Something Borrowed, Something Green pulls from Amok Time? I mean:

Sudden need to visit alien cast member's home planet for a wedding

Alien cast member is explicitly uncomfortable with outsiders learning about their culture and customs, but invites two close friends along anyway

Alien cast member is revealed to be from a much more high class and prestigious family than originally thought

Trio must participate in an archaic wedding custom that alien cast member shows distaste for

Alien cast member acts in a way that is noticably out of character while on their home planet

People being carried around on litters???

Story ends in a fight scene that is resolved via discussion of a misunderstanding

And like it's already pretty apparent that Tendi, T'Lyn and Mariner are meant to be the Bones, Spock, and Kirk of Lower Decks, but I guess I've been so focused on the various Spock/ T'Lyn parallels in season 4 that I never really thought about how much Tendi parallels Spock in this episode.

Orion Interceptor and Barge from Lower Decks and Enterprise.

My favourite detail is how the bartender on Orion keeps a jar for people to deposit their bloody daggers into, because getting stabbed in their establishment is just such an everyday occurrence.

Given how short of a glimpse of this we had in the recent Lower Decks episode, I wanted to point out that Orion has riding rhinoceroses.

And on a completely separate note, I've adored Tendi as a character from the beginning of the series. But as I'm such a complete nerd, I adore her even more now given that it's far more important to her to be known and appreciated as a nerd as opposed to being worshiped and feared for being a sexy badass with deadly skills.

Does anyone else find it odd that Tendi’s family refers to themselves as “criminals?” Criminals break the law, but what laws *on Orion* are they breaking? Sure, they’re breaking Federation laws, but why would they define themselves by that?
