    @ValueSubtracted I know it’s a minor point and there’s not a lot to be done about it but Boimler is one of the shortest main Trek characters and Jack Quaid just towers over everyone else on the Enterprise.

      The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That’ll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.

          @richieadler I agree in spirit but sadly Boimler should be shorter than Mariner and he’s not in this episode.

          Is it too much to ask that the set designers build an elaborate network of platforms that all the other actors besides Jack Quaid stood on so they all towered over him? 🧐

          In all seriousness though, I love how Boimler is short and how it’s never brought up in LD.
