Mariner: Boimler, is that a beard?!? Looking good, looks real lumberjacky!

Boimler: I needed something to set me apart from the "other" me, you know? To show how much I've matured.

Mariner [suspiciously]: Wait a nanosecond, is that... [she tears off his beard, leaving sideburns] Ah-ha! A fake beard!?

Boimler: Nnnnnngh PLEASE don't tell anyone, if Riker knew I couldn't grow anything but these pathetic sideburns, I'd--

Mariner: Boims, Boims, Boims, don't worry! Your secret is safe with me. But the sideburns are a good look, you shouldn't-- wait-- [Mariner reaches out to pull on Boimler's sideburns]

Boimler: oh no, no...

I dunno about that, I feel like Titan Boimler will somehow be able to grow a full goatee when Cerritos Boimler can't despite being physically identical.

Yes.

Maybe. We don't know how shuttle Boimler survived and escaped the Packleds.

It's actually never 100% clarified which one stays and which one goes. It's kinda implied that Cerritos Boimler was the one that was beamed up and Titan Boimler escaped on the shuttle by the way the narrative follows the beam-up one.

I'm still betting on a third Boimler, if not literally dozens by the time they're done because no point in not taking the gag to extremes.

Boimvix.

They try to reintegrate the two Boimlers into one being but fail. But there's still a 3rd being who is the best aspects of the other two Boimlers.

Yeah, Transporter Boimler is the clone, Shuttle Boimler is the original… I think? And even then enough time passes in-universe before Riker sends one back to the Cerritos that is is all but impossible to say which one stayed on the Titan. It’s a literal 50/50 shot the Boimler we started the show with is still on the Titan and we’ll just never know.

Getting renewed for fewer episodes every season is very 'look your show sucks and we have no idea what to do with it but we need your very diverse set of faces on our advertising material'.

It may just be a production thing across the board, since the other series are all doing 10 episode seasons

Okay just for absolute clarity, I think one of the great things about Discovery is how unashamedly woke it is. That's one of it's few positives. The problem is that they clearly built the cast by working backwards from a checklist they had, and they didn't bother to think about what the purpose of those characters would be in the story or ship or wider group dynamics. Which is how you end up with three(?) almost entirely distinct groups of glorified background extras who are kinda just there and don't really have a character or purpose beyond cheering Michael on or serving as a foil for her in that week's episode. It's why when one of these characters actually gets a bit of speaking time in an episode you get worried because they're probably about to get killed off to make Michael sad.

Yeah this is one of my bigger issues

Like cool, it's nice that they have a diverse cast, but none of them have anything to do. This season has just been the Michael and Book Show (TM).

There's hope because they took the best parts of discovery and made a spin-off because of fan demand

SNW was not in the original plan. Plus from a purely comparative perspective, it HAS to be better than the S31 show it apparently replaced in the lineup

They must seriously need barely any buy in to make Discovery worth it.

The IMDB scores for discovery season 4 are REALLY loving bad. And again I know that's not everything but ouch
