Star Trek Lower Decks “Veritas” – Review

I love a courtroom episode of Star Trek. If you’ve followed these Thursday reviews for a while back to when it was Doctor Who-flavored, you may remember a mention of “Dax” in the reviews for “Nightmare in Silver” and “The Pyramid at the…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Much Ado About Boimler” – Review

You see, all I’m really looking for with Lower Decks is character and comedy, and “Much Ado About Boimler” gets that reasonably well. Written by M (or Emei) Willis, who previously wrote for She-ra and some stuff you’ve never heard of (or care for), we…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Terminal Provocations” Review

Ahh the episode with a small focus on my favorite group of terrorists, it must be former Survivor winner Cochran’s “Terminal Provocations.” If there is a bit of a dip in season 1 of Lower Decks, “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” and “Terminal Provocations” are where it…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Temporal Edict” – Review

This one is called, let’s rock this place until the dilithium crystals crack! 1, 2, 3, 4! Joking aside, the cold open with its non-sequitur nature in this episode did make me giggle. Though that might have been from the fact I…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Envoys” – Review

Two episodes in and we’ve got a Ferengi and an alcoholic Klingon. I love when absolute nerds (that are proficient) are let loose on established IPs. “Envoys,” is yet another example of character work while doing something fun with the franchise of…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Second Contact” – Review

I’m not hiding my opinion here. I honestly wonder whether or not Lower Decks is the best series, if the Cerritos is the best ship, and if the crew is the best cast of Star Trek. The first is a toss-up, as is the…
