Betazed intelligence? That makes sense. There has surely been a thread or two asking why that wasn't a thing.
Laughed out loud at the disappointed Romulans. It was cheap, but I still adored it.

MODERATORS
At some point, I'd like to see a gag about how the Romulans seem to hang out in the Neutral Zone all the time.
They don't hang out. They lurk.
I think there is a fan theory that Romulan space is pretty small (relatively speaking), which is how they're able to defend it well with a small number of ships. Which also explains why they're not able to have enough ships to evacuate Romulus.
I think people tend to underestimate what's required to evacuate a planetary population. That's billions of people! The 24th century we see might have some massive passenger transport that could hold, say, 10000 passengers. You'd need hundreds of thousands of ships that size to evacuate the whole planet. And the logistics would be a nightmare's nightmare. A ship that size probably doesn't make planetfall. How do you get them loaded? Think about how long it takes to get a widebody jet boarded - maybe 500 people at most. What about the quadriplegics? What about the bedridden? What about the pets? Etc. etc. etc.
wouldn't the Romulans entering the neutral zone also be an act of war, though? that's kinda the point of a neutral zone -- neither side can enter.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it...
I like how one of the background characters in the party room was wearing the stupid headset everyone got addicted to in TNG
Loved the episode. Did I understand correctly that the Betazoids were travelling from planet to planet to find a cure for this rampant emotional telepathic event?
Does that mean T’Lyns powers extended that far?
Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship? I got a little bit lost with the fast dialog.
On a random note, funny how in ten forward the two guys making out kept inserting themselves in almost every scene.
Or were they secretly hunting for the alien ship?
It was this - they're investigating the destroyed vessels.
Great episode. I really like what they're doing with T'Lyn.
Damn, security is wholesome. Loved Kayshons Naruto-run to the phasers. Focused!
I like to imagine that Lwaxana trained those three. The image of Majel Barret flipping around whacking people with a shock baton is quite amusing.
It wasn’t the shock baton that came to mind, rather the TNG episode where Lwaxana figures out that the fish-alien diplomats are frauds and spies. Lwaxana’s telepathic insights could be distracted, but not for long.
Even Deanna Troi, a less powerful empath, was able to survive alone undercover on a Romulan ship.
Of course there would be Betazoid Intelligence officers embedded in the Federation diplomatic core.
Once again, Lower Decks is the show that takes things to their logical conclusion.
