"A Few Badgeys More" is about more than just a few Badgeys; it's also a culmination of Lower Decks' myriad villainous computer programs with mixed results.
"Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place" gives Star Trek its first major foray into Ferengi culture since DS9 gave it a spotlight and finds great profit in doing so.
"Empathological Fallacies" is a fantastic follow up to Lower Decks' prior best episode season 2's "wej Duj" to give a smart spotlight on newcomer T'Lyn.
