Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

The lower decks should have done a joke about the three ensigns on Voyager who did nothing except build shuttles the entire seven years.
“Shuttle’s busted.”
“What happened now?”
“Harry fell in love with a nefarious alien woman.”
“Woo! I guessed right! Pay up!”

There’s a giant board on the wall of the shop with pictures of shuttles they’ve drawn red Xs over.
Good eye!
Sorry, I was head-canoning the scenario. I’m not claiming it was actually there.
We need infinite more seasons of Lower Decks, so that episodes like your idea here can become reality. This would be a delight.
