{5\/5} “Half the time when you see someone with the wrong amount of pips around here it’s usually just delicious street corn.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Lower Decks<\/strong> season 2, aired in 2021<\/p>\n Mariner and the captain, her mother, are getting a bit tired of working so closely together. Tendi thinks Rutherford has a problem in his brain and she’s the only one who can fix it. Meanwhile, Boimler is on the Titan but is distressed by Captain Riker’s rush-into-danger command style. When Mariner and Tendi go on a mission together they discover they don’t know much about each other. When a bartender tells Boimler and Rutherford that Mariner is secretly Black Ops, they begin to believe him.<\/p>\n The callbacks to episodes from previous shows — like Gary Mitchell, Pakleds, a Tamarian, and Sonya Gomez — are delightfully perfect. In one episode we see what the lower decks are like on a Klingon ship and a Vulcan ship.<\/p>\n It’s very funny. If you’re not watching The Good Place<\/strong>, this is probably the funniest thing you’ll watch today.<\/p>\n There is some beautiful animation when they visit strange new worlds.<\/p>\n Chris Westlake’s music includes glorious themes from movies and episodes.<\/p>\n Despite not having as much time per episode as the other shows, it still manages to tell stories about characters you care about.<\/p>\n Robert Duncan McNeill has a cameo as Tom Paris. Jeffrey Combs provides the voice of an evil computer, and Alice Krige reprises her role of the Borg Queen.<\/p>\n Stars the voices of Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, and No\u00ebl Wells.<\/p>\n
