I just wanted to play to into Rom’s savviness and Leeta’s savviness. What did he pick up from his brother and what did he leave behind?

…even when you grow, you can slip and you can revert, but you still get another chance. You can still help yourself.

I’m always in awe when it comes to the character growth in Lower Decks. It feels so real and natural. It’s nice to see that the creator knows exactly what he’s doing. Too many intuitive writers fail to grasp what the strength of their writing is and therefore risk losing it.
