Terminal Provocations
The Cerritos deals with a Drookmani scavenger ship that is trying to collect pieces of a Federation starship that has been drifting is space for over a century.
Fletcher, a lower decks ensign, messes with a computer core of the Cerritos, creates a huge problem, and then tries to do everything he can to avoid solving the problem or admitting to what he did. Mariner and Boimler work together to try and fix the mess that Fletcher created.
Rutherford tries to help Tendi learn how to spacewalk using a program he created for the holodeck. Something goes wrong. Rutherford and Tendi get trapped in the holodeck. They have to run for their lives from Badgey, a computer generated helper that Rutherford created. Badgey looks like a life sized version of the badge that everyone wears on their chest. It turns homicidal when the holodeck malfunctions.
I found Fletcher to be incredibly annoying and lacking in depth. I did not enjoy or appreciate the mayhem he created. Badgey was dark and kind of scary but he fits a mold that I have seen before and can appreciate when it is done right. It was done right enough in this case to satisfy me.
This wasn't a bad episode but I think that it is my least favorite one to date.
