A behind-the-scenes look at the episode that asked: what happens when a transporter accident can't be fixed? The writers reveal that Division 14's medical specialist was designed as an Edosian — the same three-legged, three-armed species as Arex from 'Star Trek: The Animated Series' — chosen because animated characters from TAS slot naturally into Lower Decks without needing a CG update. Jack Quaid discusses the fun of voicing Boimler's escalating panic and his brief career as a mutiny leader.
