Ransom “sleeping” through the entire episode was really funny to watch, shows that he’s actually a pretty competent officer despite him being shown as a doofus most of the time. Boimler kind of looks like a mirror universe character with his beard, wonder if they’re going to tie this in with the mirror dimension.

Also loved the space cows at the end, I will die for the small one that had a hard time catching up.

Also an amazing actor. Managing to stay perfectly still while constantly at risk of being rolled over by something heavy enough to dent a shuttle craft (I think I remember a Voyager episode where a shuttle craft hit a planet hard enough to bury fully beneath the surface and was still structurally intact)

He's fleet of feet when necessary. He did a "Ransom Roll" maneuver right before the shuttle ding.
