For me it wasn't a stand-out best kind of episode but it was above average. I've seen Jessie Gender's review of it, and she makes a good case for Tendi's story having some real meat as trans allegory. My personal high points were the Orion sex dungeon and seeing another Raven-type ship. Rutherford and Boimler being best buds now has the potential to be entertaining, but their plot and arc this episode was mostly just a bit goofy to me and didn't quite work, especially the bit where they dressed up the captains.
But the Orion side of the story, I felt like they were really fully utilizing the material (compared to, for instance, "Twovix", which was fun but felt like it left a lot of potential on the table.) It kicked ass seeing Tendi dominate the murder-bug drinking game, and I was sure that must have been some TNG thing I'd forgotten - it was nice for once to find out that no, it wasn't a reference I missed, the creators just put themselves in such a perfect TNG zone creating it that I couldn't tell the difference (I wonder if they got Okuda in on that table?) Hope it shows up again in Discovery or something.
And everyone talking about the episode has commented on it, but I love the line the episode walked with the Orions in general. TOS gave us sexy Orion slave girls, Enterprise told us that they like it that way and you're the one who's sexist for thinking otherwise actually, and Discovery showed us that when the galaxy descended into piracy and organized crime 700 years in the future, the Orions were ready for it and entered a golden age of crime. The Orions represent basically every lazy or problematic trope a Star Trek species can have (aside from explicit racial coding.) Lower Decks has taken that as a challenge from the beginning with Tendi, we had a great spin on it in the SNW crossover, and in this episode they finally took on the creation of the Orion homeworld itself. And somehow they just keep Tendi's "you know not all Orions are like that despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary" bit going, and somehow it never stops being funny. So for an episode that otherwise doesn't feel particularly momentous, that is kind of a final bossfight for one of the things the show's been doing.
I hope we never see a Raven-type that isn't crashed. Two data points so far but I have a hunch that's the unluckiest model ship in the galaxy.
