Currently weighing up whether to get my partner to watch First Duty and Lower Decks before we watch it together later.

Both. The answer to that is both. Two of the finest TNG episodes.

The title is a play on the TNG episode “The Inner Light”

But why? I don’t see a storyline connection/similarly between this episode and “The Inner Light”.

I think the episode is just about Mariner’s inner fight about being in Starfleet, and the similarity in title is just coincidental.

Wait, what? I didn’t realize the Klingon captain was Bruce Horak!

Mariner always has the funniest way of being annoyed or angry

This was actually funny (unlike the previous ones which were quite cringey).
