In true Lower Decks style, 'Caves' riffs on a budget-saving Star Trek trope to deliver an episode rich with character work.
Star Trek loves itself a cave episode. You can do a bunch of different stories in similar looking sets, you can restrict which members of the cast are the focus, you can thrust unlikely pairings together and force them to bounce off each other. Caves are good! Lower Decks not only agrees with this, but uses what is usually a limitation in live-action to delivery a really important episode for its heroes.
T’Ana, Mariner unable to get past her pre-judgmental attitudes and work with others, Boimler confronting literally anyone he can’t people-please: all of these would’ve been situations that completely undid them previously, and often to hilarious effect. But Lower Decks has changed, and these characters have along with it, and instead we get to see them all adapt to these situations and overcome them instead.
