After a first half of hemming and hawing, 'Reflections' gave Lower Decks' third season the shot in the arm it needed.
he B-plot reveals just what has made an edgier personality overtake Rutherford’s body:
a pre-implant version of his younger self, an Academy skiver who used his engineering prowess not to prepare for a career in space, but build and race illegal ships. In many ways, as Rutherford’s internal selves bicker with each other over who will get to control their body—his implants and damaged brain mean there’s only room for one—there’s parallels to the needling between Petra and Mariner in the A-plot.
he’s no longer alone—he’s channelling his passions healthily instead of into something that could’ve got him killed. “I have friends who care for me” might be the lovey-dovey conclusion to finally getting to explore Rutherford’s past, just as Mariner not falling for Petra’s jibes—eventually, we learnthat would letcomfortably swoop this growth under the bed as an isolated story arc. Thankfully, “Reflections” excels in letting these revelations linger.
