‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Season 5 episode 3: Why are nanites causing havoc in a luxury space hotel?

There are echoes of “Apocalypse Now” in the third episode of “Lower Decks” season 5, as Lt Bradward Boimler is recruited to track down a flag officer who’s gone AWOL in a luxury space hotel — the admiral’s name, Milius, is presumably a nod to John Milius, screenwriter of Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam classic.
