What’s big, white, horny (in more ways than one) and has a poisonous bite? A mugato! The albino gorilla-like beast with the tail of a lizard. Kirk had a run-in with one back in the day. This week’s episode of LOWER DECKS has our heroes, Boimler, Rutherford, and Mariner, confronting both a herd of them and Ferengi poachers with laser whips. While on the Cerritos, Tendi is chasing down crew members who have avoided their check ups and Capt. Freeman is giving away a shuttlecraft.
This episode is filled with Easter Eggs from most of the series. We have some thoughts.
