Star Trek: Lower Decks “No Small Parts”

Previously on Star Trek: Lower Decks: Boimler found out that Mariner was Captain Fletcher’s daughter, a secret that both had kept under lock and key. This brings the show dangerously close to having a consequential plot development, and the…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Crisis Point”

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Veritas”

This week’s cold open is a dang hot one! The setting: K’Tuevon Prime. Our four intrepid lower decks ensigns are pushed inside a circular stone dungeon in a creepy tower. Jagged metal barriers retract from the door frame, preventing them…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Much Ado About Boimler”

This week’s episode of Star Drek: Lower Blecchs (RIP MAD magazine) is entitled “Much Ado About Boimler”, yet doesn’t actually have much ado about Boimler at all. The cold open features Tendi excitedly showing the other lower decks ensigns her…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Cupid’s Errant Arrow”

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Envoys”

In today’s cold open, we trot out a well-worn Star Trek trope of a glowing ball of energy invading the ship, much like the alien that impregnated Troi in the Next Generation episode “The Child”. Mariner and Tendi are wheeling…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Second Contact”

Before we’d gotten too far into the fabulous 21st century, it became evident that the kind of television the Star Trek franchise produced wasn’t going to be relevant for very much longer. New technologies such as DVR and streaming, new…

Star Trek: Voyager “Death Wish”
