I really don't like the thought of Lower Decks deciding Star Trek canon. Following and expanding upon known canon sure. But making up new canon that presumably now has to be payed forward for the rest of Trek in perpetuity that's a job for serious live-action Trek. I get that the Orion home world is whatever, it's not like they're mucking with Vulcan or Klingon lore but they're still a major species so I'd rather their lore be established in a serious context with regard given to making their civilization as plausible and realistic as possible.
All that said this was another pretty mid episode. Tendi backstory ok but this felt weightless, like going through the motions. The funny wasn't funny enough to excuse the plot being Lower Decks boilerplate. This show has proven to be at it's best when it combines it's comedic aspirations with serious plotting. This was just fluff. That works for some but I hold Trek to a higher standard.
