Not 100% sure our T’Lyn isn’t the other 'verse T’yln. Auntie Tendi 😍

I think for Dos Cerritos the B plot with Tendi carried the episode. I honestly felt like they missed the classic Lower Decks balance of seriousness and humor on the A plot and played it slightly too straight in a way that made it seem too much like a run-of-the mill multiverse episode. The two T’Lyns jokes were fun, though.
Shades of Green also did great with the Tendi plot, and the overthrow of capitalism part was enjoyable enough.
Now the big question is: Will Boimler single-handedly cause Starfleet to create a multiversal prime directive after that PADD makes him do something spectacularly wrong? 😈 (Though I guess based on PRO events, probably not.)

Remarkable.

Yeah…it feels somewhat intentional, as showing alternate versions of the characters that really weren’t that different was kind of the point, but that’s not exactly a comedy latinum mine.
