I thought it was fine. The ending of Rutherford's B-plot felt a little cheap.
Plus with Luvik around, I'm wondering what happened with Jet and if there's going to be a gang of bitter lower deckers who don't quite like the main four.

Question about the mysterious ship that destroyed the Klingon and Romulan ships: is it a reference to something that was seen elsewhere or is it something new?
Looks new to me. If I had to guess it's whoever picked up Badgey making their move.
Was it in one of the teasers or something? I swear it looks familiar, particularly the way it flips to fire.
My first thought was Slave I from Star Wars, which doesn't really lend itself to any Trekverse theories.
It looks familiar to me too. At first I thought about the time traveling shuttle in TNG A Matter of Time, or the tiny ship at the beginning of TNG Conundrum, but it's not any of those.
Orville?
If you turn it upside down, it's definitely a whale.

I bet we see the Vulcan Lower Decks ship destroyed next. I wonder if Tlyn will find out
Plot twist: the mystery foe won't expect her shield upgrades, which will save the day. For this, she will be asked back, and she will hAvE tO mAkE a DiFfIcUlT cHoIcE aBoUt HeR fUtUrE.
Who would win? Moopsy or Monty Python's Rabbit of Caerbannog?
I take the Rabbit’s side.

I wish I could ask the writers if the holodeck scene was a direct call-out to the old something awful blue stripes series
The big blob of merged people was so disturbing, glad this was in a cartoon and not live action. That would have been extra horrifying!
I'm late to the party.
"Twovix." Love it. From Jack's advice to Shax at the start through the end, I enjoy this episode. Voyager becoming a museum was a great way to cram a lot of VOY escapades into an episode. I'm going to miss Mariner's, Boimler's, Tendi's, and Rutherford's time together in their hallway bunks, but the promotions are well deserved and bound to happen. I think T'Lyn is a great addition. The ending though, oh, no. Not Ma'ah and the Che'Ta'! I'm betting their demise (seeming? seems likely?) is because of William Boimler or Badgey. Maybe both of them. Keep in mind I'm terrible at guessing.
"I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee." Also love it. First and foremost, yes, I, a grown woman, want a Moopsy plush. Preferably one that says, "moopsy." I was wondering if Mariner's being promoted would go smoothly, and I was not disappointed with how it played out. For all his goofiness, I think Ransom is a great commanding officer. I'm pretty meh on the potential of Rutherford and Livik being adversaries. It seems out of character for Rutherford. But, LD continues to pleasantly surprise me, so I'm keeping an open mind. Boimler's tribulations with his new quarters were funny, and very Boimler. With what happened to the Romulan ship at the beginning of the episode, I'm wondering if the whatever it is will take out a different ship every episode this season.
