It’s another episode of Lower Decks, and amidst all the
quick-fire jokes and impressive visuals, we learn Another Valuable
Lesson: sure we love treaties, Tellarites, timelines and the exciting
new T88 model tricorder, but what we’re really here for is hang time
with people we love and the sheer joyous ridiculousness of it all.
Live long and prosper, friends!

This week, Joe and Nathan work on their most pressing psychological
problems by smashing the ship’s counsellor’s favourite bonsai,
storming off to the holodeck, making fun of the
Star Trek movie series, and playing the most violent (and
possibly racist) video game in the history of the franchise.
Everything turns out for the best, though, because good friends
forgive, and they’ll always have time to hang out and admire the warp
core.

This week, Star Trek: Lower Decks does what it does best:
plumbing the depths of the franchise’s weirdest moments to produce
something fun, entertaining, and sympathetic to its ideals. Which is
why we get to root for some underappreciated and frequently
mispronounced alien monsters, and why those two beautiful nerdy men,
Boimler and Rutherford, get to save the day not with violence, but
with a PowerPoint presentation and some maths.

It’s Star Trek’s most terrifying crew evaluation since
Coming of Age: the crew of the USS Cerritos confront
a ridiculous alien from Star Trek: The Animated Series, the
Terran Empire, medical ethics, an unconvincing Old West set on the
Paramount lot, the plot of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,
the Borg, complex strings of water molecules which acquire carbon from
the body and act on the brain like alcohol, hexagonal crates in the
cargo bay, and the plot of
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. But more than anything,
they confront the need to work together and respect each other.
Because this is — and of course it is — Star Trek.

While we wait for the final season of Lower Decks to drop, we
head back into the show’s distant past to see how it reintroduces
itself to the world at the start of its third season. As you might
expect, it’s with love, loyalty, extreme cartoon violence and a few
affectionate digs at one of our favourite Star Trek films.
And, inevitably, gallons and gallons of alien seminal fluid.
