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…
This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks: Ow, it hurts. Owww, mommy it hurts.
Mariner is on a planet with a species of lizard people and a species of rat-like people who are oppressing the lizards and eating them…
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…
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.

This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks: The show still hasn’t decided whether or not it has a cold open, nor what should go in it. Last week didn’t have one. This week does, but wastes it on a…
Our episode gets off to an uninspired start when Ensign Boimler narrates his personal log about an interaction he wasn’t there to see and has no reason to write in his log about. The Cerritos is in the Mixtus system,…
Well, what a pleasant surprise. This episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks got three; count ’em, three laughs out of me. Keep this pace up and we should have a watchable program by like 2022.
