Star Trek: Lower Decks is an American animated Work Com aimed for adults, and set in the Star Trek universe. Created for Paramount+ by Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites), it is the first animated series created for CBS All Access, and the first animated Star Trek series since Star Trek: The Animated Series.note Although there are two episodes of Star Trek: Short Treks that were also animated.The series follows the exploits of the support crew serving on the U.S.S. Cerritos, one of Starfleet's least important ships, in the year 2380. This sets it between Star Trek: Nemesis (2379) and the prologue of Star Trek (2387), a period of relative peace for the Federation between the end of the Dominion War and the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire.A group of four ensigns have been assigned to the Cerritos. Each of them is following a different career path and is a Bunny-Ears Lawyer at best. They are unappreciated by the senior staff and are the lowest-ranking members of the ship's crew, but they still manage to accomplish great things due to their friendship. Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome): A rules-breaking rebel with a poor opinion of Starfleet, and the daughter of the ship's captain and a Starfleet Admiral. Brilliant, but Lazy, she is a grizzled veteran of Starfleet and can handle almost anything, but is highly impulsive and has no desire to advance, having apparently been demoted from a higher rank multiple times. Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid): A nerdy and rules-abiding Ensign who has served on the Cerritos for a year, but has only visited five planets in his life as of the first episode (including Earth and Vulcan). He dreams of becoming a captain and has encyclopedic knowledge of the galaxy, but lacks any actual field experience. D'Vana Tendi (Noël Wells): A Green-Skinned Space Babe of the Orion species, she is a Plucky Girl nerd who is studying to be a doctor. She is extremely pleased to be working on the Cerritos and is thrilled at the prospect of adventure, but is somewhat oblivious to how dangerous serving in Starfleet can be. Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero): A human who was fitted with a Vulcan brain implant that gives him special abilities while also interfering with his emotions. He's a Grease Monkey who's passionate about engineering, and is every bit as excited to be working on a starship as Tendi.The name of the show and general premise is inspired by popular Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Lower Decks," of which multiple references have been made in the show itself.The show debuted on August 6, 2020 initially as a feature for CBS All Access before migrating to Paramount+. International distribution has been handled by varying local networks and other services like Amazon Prime. The second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds featured a Crossover with Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome portraying their characters in live action via a Time Travel mishap.IDW Publishing started a Star Trek Lower Decks comic book series written by Ryan North and illustrated by Chris Fenoglio in September, 2022.The show is currently set to end with its fifth season.See the season one trailer here, the teaser for season two here, the full trailer for it here, and the season three trailer here.

Limited Advancement Opportunities
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_1042bae6
comment
Limited Advancement Opportunities: Zig-Zagged all over the place. Mariner has apparently been promoted a number of times and has served on five starships. She always self-sabotages so that she can be busted back to ensign and thus avoid any responsibilities (or, as it turns out, having to send people to their deaths because the Dominion War surrounded her with death before she could fully recover from a friend being killed in action). Boimler is an eager young ensign with aspirations of making it to captain. His efforts to fast-track himself are frequently thwarted by Mariner. Until he accepts a promotion to the Titan under the command of Captain Will Riker at the end of season 1. Although this ends up being reversed at the start of season 2. Freeman plays the trope the straightest, as the Cerritos is seen as a pretty low-grade command that involves often unglamorous missions. Captains of cooler starships often make cracks at her. Likewise, Ransom's career appears to have stagnated at First Officer of the Cerritos. Starfleet does not show any intentions of promoting him to Captain, as showcased in the season 2 finale where it’s stated that if Freeman were to be reassigned, a different captain would take her place. According to Admiral Buenemigo's Motive Rant, this is one of the main factors why so many Starfleet admirals like him go crazy; at that rank, the only career choices you get are a Soul-Crushing Desk Job or doing risky, unethical black ops projects and Jumping Off the Slippery Slope. Not that it justifies sending one of his friends into a Breen ambush, nearly causing the Cerritos to be lost with all hands, on purpose, but it's a really toxic work environment. Finally, triumphantly averted at the beginning of season 4, when all four main characters are (permanently) promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Ironically, given that season 4 is set in 2381 and season 1 is set in 2380, this means that they spent only a couple of years (or less) at Ensign, which is an entirely reasonable interval in any real-world military.note Both Mariner and Boimler had been promoted (and then demoted) during that interval, Boimler having spent only one year busted back down to Ensign before being restored to his previous rank. Rutherford had been up for promotion on multiple previous occasions before he finally accepted; as the series opens with Tendi being assigned to the Cerritos fresh out of the academy, she also only had to wait for one year. This is lampshaded in "Caves", where the Delta Shift ensigns point out that Beta Shift having frequent interactions with the senior staff means they were much likelier to get noticed — and promoted — sooner.

Fauxshadowing: In Season 3, multiple characters express concern that Brad's decision to become "Bold Boimler" is going to get him killed. So far, the Ensign's new-found confidence has served him rather well, with the worst consequence being his death... In a Klingon-themed tabletop role-playing game.

comment
In "Terminal Provocations", the character of Fletcher is introduced as the worst elements of both Boimler and Mariner combined. Despite his affable demeanor, he's a Dirty Coward who always claims that it's Never My Fault, and he doesn't care about any rules while relying on his friends to bail him out. Mariner says that she's different because she would never endanger a fellow crewmate with her rule-breaking (well, except Boimler). Fletcher gets fired from Starfleet.

Instantly Proven Wrong: In the Season 2 premier after Ransom is hit by the titular strange energies and starts to float, Mariner correctly identifies that he's become endowed with god-like abilities. T'Ana reprimands her and says that she has to run more test before that can be confirmed. Cue Ransom instantly healing himself from the damage of the energy blast (including his uniform), gaining telepathy, Glowing Eyes of Doom, and shooting energy beams all in the span of about 30 seconds. The rest of the episode is him just getting more powerful from there.

Predator Pastiche: K'Ranch (and Kromsapiods in general) are this Played for Laughs, with the intense drive to hunt, glowing green blood, an impressive arsenal of high-tech weapons yet apparent lack of waterproofing for their tech. However, they venerate life, practice catch-and-release, and their trophy from a worthy prey isn't the prey's skull, but a selfie.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: The villains of the Season 1 Finale? Pakleds. In the original episode they were introduced back in TNG, they were seen as slow, easily gullible, and only were as strong as whatever tech they managed to steal. But here? They've stolen tech and weapons from several warp-capable species and were able to connect them all together to make ships that can easily severely damage, slice apart and even outright destroy Federation ships. Not only that, but these batch of Pakleds are much more confident and aggressive, even fully willing to beam onto the Cerritos and fight in hand-to-hand combat. Subverted when it's revealed that they were being used by a rogue Klingon as part of a Proxy War. Once their puppet-master is out of the picture, they blew up their own planet and were never heard from again.

Title Drop

comment
Title Drop: "Lower decks" is said on two occasions in the series premiere. The first time, it was a derogatory address of Ensign Tendi, dismissing her as beneath the Lieutenant's notice. The second time was Mariner chanting it in the bar with a sense of pride. The phrase continues to crop up throughout the series as an identifier of the lower-ranked members of the ship.

Bloodier and Gorier: While the series is trying to imitate Star Trek: The Next Generation's style, it is not afraid to have blood spray about, while the older series tended to be mostly bloodless. (Usually in the cause of Amusing Injuries, but sometimes—as in the first season finale—the sight of blood is treated gravely.)

Anachronism Stew: A flashback in "Cupid's Errant Arrow" shows Mariner had been in Starfleet as far back as 2369, but she and her fellow shipmates were in uniforms that wouldn't be in use until 2373. Alternately, they were discussing news from 2369 in 2373 as if it were current. Either way, the situation is odd, although we later see those uniforms are still in use on certain ships such as the Titan.

Legendary in the Sequel: Played for laughs. In the far, far future of the Federation, Miles O'Brien is considered the greatest hero in Starfleet historynote O'Brien was indeed a great engineer and a war hero to boot, but he was also kind of DS9's Butt-Monkey, to the point where the writers set aside one episode a season where they made O'Brien's life a living hell. Then again, his ability to survive everything that the galaxy threw at him would lead others to admire his resilience.

Lampshade Hanging
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_2a090d00
comment
Lampshade Hanging: Much of the series' humor comes from common elements of Trek actually being shocking. That the ships can regularly get into horrifying disasters like a Zombie Apocalypse, and this is considered to be a normal part of the ship's duties. That the holodeck will most definitely be used by someone (or probably most someone's) for pornnote Although The Orville and DS9 have already covered this subject. Mariner basically spells out in "Temporal Edict" that the story is a parody of a Kirk-centric TOS episode. The head Gelrakian breaks down all the usual tropes associated with fighting a giant alien in an arena. Ransom calls the Kirk-era the "Tee Oh Ess" period, standing for Those Old Scientists.

Entendre Failure: In the Season 3 opener, we see Boimler working at a vineyard, one where the grapes are turned into raisins. He is constantly hit on by gorgeous women who use double entendres to flirt with him or try to bang him. However, Boimler acts oblivious to all this, interpreting the entendres as literal, and is actually rather annoyed that the girls keep bothering him with seemingly minor things.

Mariner is very capable of rising in rank but she frequently sabotages herself through skirting Starfleet protocol in order to stay an ensign. Throughout the first season of the series, Freeman looks for any excuse to have Mariner removed from duty, but never follows through, however they do come to an understanding in the season finale.

Actor Allusion

Actor Allusion: We have Ensign D'Vana Tendi voiced by Noël Wells, another instance where she voiced a green-skinned alien.note Although unlike Lord Dominator, the character she voices here is heroic This isn't Dawnn Lewis's first role as a black woman in command. Lieutenant O'Connor, who ascended to a higher plane of existence, broke through the veil and saw the true nature of reality, is voiced by Haley Joel Osment. The rude, one-eyed Drookmani leader in "Terminal Provocations" is voiced by J.G. Hertzler, A.K.A. General Martok in DS9.

Double Meaning
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_3b4abb27
comment
Double Meaning: The title of the show refers to the four main characters sure, but also to the Cerritos (and the rest of the Cali-class ships). Relegated to Second Contact and other boring duties, they are the "Lower Decks" of Starfleet as a whole. As the show continues, this alternate meaning begins to eclipse the original, particularly as the Ensigns cultivate relationships with the senior staff and are ultimately promoted out of the (literal) lower decks.

Took a Level in Kindness: The Senior Staff were initially presented as a group of arrogant, self centered jerks- likely to emphasize the underdog nature of the main characters and the horrific working conditions in Starfleet. After the first season, the senior staff became more likeable and friendly towards the main cast, with many serving as mentors to the Lower Deckers, to the point where the dismissive, condescending attitude displayed in the first episode would be seen as wildly out of character in the 4th season.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Star Trek's favourite trope is back in force! In season 1, Rutherford creates Badgey, a Clippy-style helper avatar who, par for the course, develops homicidal daddy issues against his creator and tries to murder him and Tendi on the holodeck. In the season finale, he indirectly causes Shax's death, although he does sort of help blow up the Pakled ship. Season 2's “Where Pleasant Fountains Lieâ€� has Boimler escorting a malevolent supercomputer named Agimus back to Starfleet custody. It enslaved an entire civilization and constantly tries to trick Boimler into plugging it into a comms network. Turns out Starfleet has an entire facility devoted to storing evil AIs. In a Call-Back to TNG, “No Small Partsâ€� has an exocompnote  basically a sentient flying swiss army knife named Peanut Hamper join the Cerritos crew. She's friendly enough but when push comes to shove she chooses to beam herself into space rather than undertake a dangerous mission to save the ship. After drifting in space for months, she eventually lands on a planet of owl people where she almost gets them all killed arranging a dangerous scavenger attack to make herself look heroic so Starfleet will take her back. Subverted as she's mainly just a narcissist who only joined Starfleet to piss off her dad, rather than doing all this for typical berserk AI reasons. In season 3 Admiral Buenamigo unveils new Texas class fully-automated starships. But since he based their AI on the same code Rutherford used to create Badgey, the ships eventually go rogue and kill him, causing severe damage to Douglas Station, the Cerritos and the U.S.S. Van Citter before they're destroyed.

At the beginning of the second season Boimler is on the Titan serving under Captain Riker and he ends up having a meltdown because he was engaged in one dramatic battle after another where they are dealing with a dark, ongoing seasonal threat. Other crew members mention that the Enterprise-D must have been so boring because it dealt with space phenomenon and they would have concerts. Boimler eventually snaps saying he preferred exploration and intellectual pursuits over facing death every day, and Riker himself says he loved going to the concerts "on the D".

The Peter Principle
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_45de345c
comment
The Peter Principle: Mariner ends up an inversion to this trope. She has deliberately kept herself as an ensign through refusing promotions, getting demoted and transferring ships on a constant basis because she has an attitude towards stuffy leadership ignoring the smaller problems and seeking to solve it herself. She has Academy classmates who are captains now. This is shown to be its own problem as someone with zero interest in promotion is fostering an anti-authority sentiment that has left her more interested in being defiant than actually supporting the work, and over time even her closest friends can only be bullied into compliance for so long. The third season makes it clear that Mariner has to shape up and show some initiative if she wants to continue in Starfleet. The fourth season reveals Mariner's issues stem from a fear of The Chains of Commanding. She's dealing with her friend Ensign Sito Jax death from TNG's "Lower Decks" and shortly after the pointless deaths in the Dominion War, and wishes to never be in charge of lives like that. The subsequent events of that season gives her a frame of reference to her bad behavior, and is more open to promotions and leadership positions.

Characterization Marches On
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Early episodes had a much more hostile relationship between the Lower Deckers and the Senior Staff, with the Senior Staff coming off as unfeeling, arrogant jerkasses only looking out for themselves. Come season 2, the depiction of the Senior Staff softened and the relationships between the two groups improved. The Senior Staff kept their quirks, but they were shown to be more competent and well intentioned, with several of them serving as mentors to the main characters. Come season 4, the hostility between the ranks is all but forgotten, with the two groups getting along well and helping each other to improve, perhaps as a deliberate attempt to work on their flaws after a disastrous visit from a journalist that nearly got the entire Cali-class decommissioned. The early relationship between Mariner and Boimler was a strong-minded, domineering woman next to a meek, ineffectual man. After a few episodes it evolved to where Mariner still had a lot more field experience but Boimler thrived under pressure and in workaholic conditions. The show also became a bit more ensemble-based with them, Tendi and Rutherford forming a close-knit group rather than just Mariner and Boimler plus their friends. Boimler was also the designated Ascended Fanboy with extensive knowledge of Starfleet history, while that became a trait of near everyone.

According to Admiral Buenemigo's Motive Rant, this is one of the main factors why so many Starfleet admirals like him go crazy; at that rank, the only career choices you get are a Soul-Crushing Desk Job or doing risky, unethical black ops projects and Jumping Off the Slippery Slope. Not that it justifies sending one of his friends into a Breen ambush, nearly causing the Cerritos to be lost with all hands, on purpose, but it's a really toxic work environment.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first season hadn't quite nailed down all the characters' personality traits. Beckett's Establishing Character Moment in "Second Contact" has her drunkedly severely injure Boimler. While irresponsible, Mariner's rule breaking is otherwise shown to never imperil her crew mates and that she cares deeply about them. Relatedly, her interactions with Boimler became less about her messing with him and more of a Cowboy Cop vs By-the-Book Cop dynamic. Boimler's favorite part of the ship is the warp engine, this is more a trait of Rutherford and Boimler is instead more interested in sucking up to the command officers. Rutherford and Ensign Barnes ignore the Zombie Apocalypse on the ship in "Second Contact" when later episodes show he always takes threats seriously (and frequently panics over them). Rutherford's implant glitches were originally blamed on it being Vulcan in origin, but after the first episode, this does not really apply (and later episodes eventually show us there's much more to the implant glitches than even Rutherford knew). The senior staff of the Cerritos tends to be dismissive or even cruel to the Lower Deckers at times. For instance, in "Second Contact", Captain Freeman credits Dr. T'Ana for discovering the way to cure the zombie-like state that the crew's in, ignoring how Boimler and Mariner were the ones who found it. T'Ana acted more human than feline. Shaxs was much more of a Sociopathic Soldier in the first season, before becoming more of a Shell-Shocked Veteran (though no less badass) from the second onward. Apparently, coming Back from the Dead really did a number on him. The first season had a bit of Ship Teasing between Mariner and Ransom, albeit of the belligerent variety. From season 2 onward, he's more of a Mentor in Sour Armor toward her, with the romantic tension abandoned. Characterisation aside, early in the first season it seemed like all of Starfleet used Cerritos-style uniforms, Admirals showed up wearing a variant as did a Parliment class ship's crew and some embassy staff. The TNG-movie black and grey style was first seen in flashback as well. Eventually it was established the style was for the Cerritos class and other ships and starbases used the Black and grey uniforms. The first season leaned on what a horror working in Starfleet must be, with danger and horrible situations around every turn. Come season 2, the series started leaning more on the fun aspects of life in Starfleet, with the Lower Deckers serving as audience surrogates and expressing their joy for the various aspects of the Star Trek mythos.

Scotty Time
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_4fb78f0c
comment
Scotty Time: Referenced in-show as "buffer time", used by most of the crew to extend out deadlines so there's no rush and get multiple tasks done at the same time. It's then Deconstructed when Captain Freeman finds out and — thinking her crew is being lazy and hurting her reputation — issues new orders that all tasks be done on-time and as quickly as possible. The Cerritos immediately falls into chaos because the crew becomes overworked and get overwhelmed when emergencies pop up that cannot be handled with a large task backlog. There's also the fact that the people setting the schedules clearly had no idea how long they'd take in the first place since they were always fooled. The ship even gets raided by lower-tech aliens wielding crystal spears because of it. By the episode's end, Freeman resumes letting "buffer time" happen. That said, there are times where "Buffer Time" is clearly being abused, as characters are shown playing full rounds of (bootleg Ferengi) Klingon Dungeons and Dragons during it.

Place Worse Than Death: Starbase 80 is considered such a terrible place that the mere mention of it is akin to an insult, and Mariner would rather do a job she despises than risk a transfer there.

Loads and Loads of Races: Since an animated series doesn't have the same limitations as a live-action series (which traditionally relied heavily on Rubber-Forehead Aliens), the Cerritos is a true Federation melting pot, featuring nearly every Federation race, and a few non-Federation ones. If they aren't on the ship, odds are they're on one of the stations or planets they visit.

Ditto with the season 2 finale, "First First Contact". In order to save the Archimedes and the planet Lapeeria, the Cerritos crew have to dismantle the ship's outer hull and fly through a deadly Asteroid Thicket unpowered and unprotected. Boimler nearly drowns in the process of removing a defective panel that would've gotten them all killed, Rutherford uncovers a memory that implies his implant wasn't voluntary, and Mariner and her mother finally reconcile their strained relationship amidst all the chaos. And that's not even mentioning the Sudden Downer Ending...

Fantastic Racism
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: There's a bit more Lampshade Hanging on this being an element of the Trek Verse. Mariner has a much more cosmopolitan view of the galaxy due to being raised on starships, while Boimler has only been to five planets total (counting Earth and Vulcan) and only knows species from books. As such, he often makes numerous mistakes in interacting with aliens that Mariner avoids. This is shown most prominently in "Envoys" when Boimler assumes that a Ferengi is leading them into a trap and is a greedy monster just because he's Ferengi. It's actually a set-up by Mariner to boost his confidence. Subverted in "Terminal Provocations" when Fletcher calls Doctor T'Ana "just a cat in a coat", to which Mariner agrees. After the Dominion War, there is lingering resentment towards the Cardassians because no one in the Federation wants to go near the Cardassian homeworld, which is why the peace negotiations have been moved to Vulcan. In "Crisis Point", Tendi is upset because of the stereotypes associated with Orions, who often happen to be pirates and are famous for their seductive "slave girls", etc.. Though her protest does border on a Suspiciously Specific Denial.

Mariner can't stand Jen, for some reason that's never explained. This ends in the Season 2 finale, where Jennifer saves Mariner's life—and the latter asks out Jen following the event. Mariner also does not take to Jet when he's transferred to their shift as a replacement for Boimler, and they're rapidly trying to out-compete each other.

Suicidal Pacifism: Strangely zigzagged - the command crew seem oddly reluctant to open fire with the Cerritos’s ship borne weaponry, even in situations where it would be completely justified, to the point where the Cerritos doesn’t fire its weapons even once during the first season. On the other hand, on a personal level, the entire cast and crew seem to have zero issues engaging in multiple intense unarmed, melee and phaser fights with hostile forces and characters.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: The four protagonists have their unique talents while also being quirky. The senior staff is implied to be the same way. Mariner is an Action Girl who's incredibly knowledgeable about the galaxy, but also relentlessly insubordinate as well as prone to acting before thinking. Boimler is a stickler for the rules and full of technical knowledge, but a Lovable Coward who has little practical experience. Tendi is a Plucky Girl and The Heart of the team, but overly eager to please as well as easily impressed. Rutherford is a Cyborg with incredible engineering skill, but horrible at making command decisions as well as interpersonal reactions.

More Hero than Thou: Mariner and Ransom get into a scuffle over who should go up against the Gelrakian champion to save their crewmates, much to the bafflement of the Gelrakian leader who keeps reminding them that they're arguing over a fight to the death. It ends when Ransom stabs Mariner in the foot.

Four-Temperament Ensemble
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_65bc92fc
comment
Four-Temperament Ensemble: The four ensigns straightforwardly map to the four humors. Mariner: Choleric. Mariner is hot-headed, aggressive, and impulsive. She exhibits Blood Knight characteristics which are tempered by her rebellious nature. Mariner also shows leadership expertise when on away missions and, despite her laziness, is excellent at taking charge when the situation requires it. Boimler: Melancholic. Boimler is introverted, moody, and rigid. His away missions often end with him becoming overly self-critical and he falls into depressive moods often. He is deeply insecure, but his perfectionist qualities and devotion to the Cerritos give him some strengths. Tendi: Sanguine. Tendi is outgoing, sociable, and optimistic. She's easily the friendliest of the four ensigns and beats Rutherford to this position by being more outgoing and extroverted. Sanguine personality traits are also associated with youth, and Tendi is the rookie on the ship. Rutherford: Phlegmatic. Rutherford is calm, stable, and patient. The simple satisfaction that he takes from his job in engineering is all that Rutherford needs to be happy. These traits ended up crashing his date with Barnes, who was annoyed by him being more interested in running a diagnostic than in having sex during a ship-wide crisis.

Cosmic Entity

comment
Cosmic Entity: Assuming that Lieutenant O'Connor's interpretation of the visions he experienced during his ascension is correct, then the universe is balanced on the back of a giant, smiling koala. Called back as a gag in the Season 2 finale, as Boimler mentions seeing a giant koala during an offscreen near-death experience after almost drowning as the result of his spacewalk suit sprung a leak in Cetacean Ops. The koala even appears in the intro card for season 3, visible for a few moments as a part of the nebula in the background.

Planet of Hats
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_67f26dcc
comment
Planet of Hats: As it's such a major staple of Trek it's only natural that it would show up here and be parodied up one wall and down the other. The Gelrakians base their entire social structure around crystals. Their planet is so rich in this substance that giant crystalline deposits dot the whole landscape, their symbol of peace is the honor crystal, the people wear crystal jewelry, their weapons are made out of crystal, their space ships feature enormous crystals that jut out from the top and the bottom, and a humongous adjudication geode is used as a method of execution. The Gelrakian boarding party covers the Cerritos in "crystal graffiti", and a few invaders demand crystals when attempting to break down the doors to the bridge. The inhabitants of Mavok Prime are described as a wood-worshiping civilization. Their fertility totem is a piece of wood. Discussed in "Crisis Point", where Mariner tries to put all sorts of Orion stereotypes on Tendi. She gets called out for the stereotypes, even if most members of the race are exactly as she depicted. Tendi also says in later episodes that Orion stereotypes are a problem for her career advancement and it was hard for her to even get into the Academy.

Ship Sinking: A few episodes implied a pairing between Shaxs and T'Ana, which the latter referenced in the season finale that the former died in. In season 2 this is subverted when Shaxs comes Back from the Dead (apparently via Things Man Was Not Meant to Know) and T'Ana reaffirms her interest, which he reciprocates.

Insane Admiral
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_6ac5926f
comment
Insane Admiral: Admiral Buenamigo in season 3 turns out to be this, as usual for the franchise, but a clever explanation is given for why so many Admirals go off the deep end. Once you get promoted to Admiral rank, you're stuck at Starfleet HQ where a billion other flag officers also are; to others, they may as well be interchangeable desk-bound commanders. Thus, many of them including Buenamigo throw themselves into ill-advised vanity projects in an effort to not be forgotten, but inevitably these projects go off the rails one way or another and often cause the Admiral's downfall. This was lampshaded earlier in "Cupid's Errant Arrow" when Ron Docent claimed to know an admiral who was a psycho. Averted however by Mariner's father, Admiral Alonzo Freeman, who is a Reasonable Authority Figure through and through.

The Reveal
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_6b2b3b59
comment
And season 3's "The Stars at Night" starts with the Starfleet Admiralty threatening to decommission the entire California class, and only escalates from there. Admiral Buenamigo is revealed as an Insane Admiral who masterminded Rutherford's memory loss and used his AI code to create the Texas class, and engineered the Breen attack on the Cerritos to make his pet project look good. When Freeman finds out, he sics the Aledo on her. Problem is, the AI is a precursor to what Rutherford used to create Badgey, so the ship goes rogue and kills him, awakens two of its sister ships and they start destroying a massive starbase. It takes some quick thinking by the Cerritos crew and Beckett pulling a Big Damn Heroes with all the other Cali ships to save the day, and even though their class is saved from the scrap heap a lot of the starbase personnel are presumably dead. Phew!

Covered in Gunge
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_6c62b1a8
comment
Covered in Gunge: Frequently. In "Second Contact", many people are covered in Bad Black Barf from the zombies, while Boimler gets covered in milkable Giant Spider spit. Gunge B turns out to be the cure to Gunge A. In "Envoys", Boimler, Mariner, and their shuttle quickly get soaked in Mariner's ramen broth and Klingon bloodwine. In "Moist Vessel", Mariner gets a face full of lubricant when the turbolift ascends with her on top of it. In "Cupid's Errant Arrow", Boimler spills beer all over Brinson after he trips on Jet's foot. In "Terminal Provocations", Mariner bumps into T'Ana in the mess hall, which causes the latter to face plant into a plate of nachos; the Caitian complains that it's extremely difficult to remove cheese from fur in the sonic shower. In "The Spy Humongous", Boimler covers himself in gunge as part of a Cooldown Hug for Tendi, who had transformed into a giant scorpion monster.

Deconstructive Parody
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_6dcbe9aa
comment
Deconstructive Parody: It should also be noted that a lot of the jokes in the series make fun of the plotlines that are typical for the series. For example, Boimler goes into a lengthy speech about how he's going to die if he leaves Starfleet (see Mythology Gag) or how Mariner deals with an Energy Being that attempts to take over the ship. And yet while elements of the Trek 'Verse are deconstructed, the show pulls a Decon-Recon Switch of sorts by revealing the reasons why Starfleet does what it does and how they keep it all working. That there are logical reasons for "buffer time", or that Starfleet has a contingency plan to treat the unfortunate Red Shirts who survive the occasional transporter accident or alien infection. At the beginning of the second season Boimler is on the Titan serving under Captain Riker and he ends up having a meltdown because he was engaged in one dramatic battle after another where they are dealing with a dark, ongoing seasonal threat. Other crew members mention that the Enterprise-D must have been so boring because it dealt with space phenomenon and they would have concerts. Boimler eventually snaps saying he preferred exploration and intellectual pursuits over facing death every day, and Riker himself says he loved going to the concerts "on the D".

Drama Bomb Finale
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_6ddc33
comment
Drama Bomb Finale: pretty much every season so far. The season 1 finale, "No Small Parts". The beginning of the episode has Dayton, a quirky captain that we've seen before, fussing over her new ship, and sixty seconds later it has been blown into shreds by a Pakled ambush. The Cerritos warps right into the debris field, finds no survivors, and the captain barely averts the same fate while being severely injured. In order to save the ship, Security Officer Shaxs sacrifices himself and Rutherford loses his memories of the whole season. While there is still plenty of humor, it is an episode that is just as high-stakes and dramatic as any other Star Trek season finale. Ditto with the season 2 finale, "First First Contact". In order to save the Archimedes and the planet Lapeeria, the Cerritos crew have to dismantle the ship's outer hull and fly through a deadly Asteroid Thicket unpowered and unprotected. Boimler nearly drowns in the process of removing a defective panel that would've gotten them all killed, Rutherford uncovers a memory that implies his implant wasn't voluntary, and Mariner and her mother finally reconcile their strained relationship amidst all the chaos. And that's not even mentioning the Sudden Downer Ending... And season 3's "The Stars at Night" starts with the Starfleet Admiralty threatening to decommission the entire California class, and only escalates from there. Admiral Buenamigo is revealed as an Insane Admiral who masterminded Rutherford's memory loss and used his AI code to create the Texas class, and engineered the Breen attack on the Cerritos to make his pet project look good. When Freeman finds out, he sics the Aledo on her. Problem is, the AI is a precursor to what Rutherford used to create Badgey, so the ship goes rogue and kills him, awakens two of its sister ships and they start destroying a massive starbase. It takes some quick thinking by the Cerritos crew and Beckett pulling a Big Damn Heroes with all the other Cali ships to save the day, and even though their class is saved from the scrap heap a lot of the starbase personnel are presumably dead. Phew! Mike McMahan withheld the titles and story summaries of season 4's last two episodes until each was released, cluing viewers in that something serious happens in the 9th episode. And then that episode, "The Inner Fight", ended with a To Be Continued card, meaning it and "Old Friends, New Planets" are a two-part finale. As such, while both episodes have the show's trademark humor, the drama bomb starts an episode early:In "The Inner Fight", Freeman, attempting to distract Mariner with a ridiculously safe mission due to her increasingly reckless behavior, unknowingly sends her to the planet where the command crews of the stolen ships are being dumped by the mystery ship's pilot. Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and T'Lyn are attacked and end up stranded on the planet, where Mariner ends up in a fight to the death with Ma'ah that's only disrupted by Hostile Weather. While sheltering in a cave with Ma'ah, Mariner ends up admitting the root cause of her Military Maverick behavior: PTSD stemming from Sito Jaxa's death and the Dominion War. After Ma'ah helps her come to terms with her trauma, she rallies the stranded crews together, only to be abducted by and come face-to-face with the mastermind: Nick Locarno. The B-plot is mostly comedic, but is caught in the Drama Bomb because it involves Captain Freeman searching for Locarno to take him into protective custody. The episode ends with Locarno greeting Mariner and saying they'll cause trouble together...In "Old Friends, New Planets", Captain Freeman defies orders not to rescue Mariner upon seeing her denounce Locarno on a live subspace broadcast. With the system Mariner is trapped in protected by a "Trynar shield", Tendi approaches her sister D'Erika for a large enough ship to breach it and ends up having to offer to return to Orion in exchange for the ship. As this is happening, Mariner is being chased by Locarno's "Nova Fleet" and trying to reach a lifeless planet to detonate a Genesis Device Locarno was using as a deterrent, but is forced into an ion storm and ends up setting the device off there before being rescued during a confrontation with Locarno, leading to Locarno getting himself killed in a Genesis Wave when he refuses rescue. Mariner arrives on the Cerritos and apologizes for her recent behavior, but then has to say goodbye to Tendi soon after due to the deal with D'Erika.

"Everybody Laughs" Ending: Parodied in "Second Contact". After the crisis is over, the captain and her senior staff joke about the paperwork as they leave Sickbay— but the camera stays on the four ensigns who are still utterly shell-shocked by the events of the episode. Also deconstructed: Freeman, Shaxs, and T'Ana treat the zombie apocalypse as a joke, while Ransom, who was a zombie at the time, is clearly having a breakdown at the thought that he ate human flesh. Similarly deconstructed in "I, Excretus," where Shaxs cracks a joke about Boimler's (simulated) assimilation by the Borg and everyone else laughs while Boimler wistfully muses: "They took away everything I was!"

Amusing Injuries: Gory injuries are almost always Played for Laughs, poking fun at the franchise's depiction of "dermal regenerators" and other futuristic medical devices—often made of some handheld prop with a lightbulb in it. Lower Decks takes it to before-unseen extremes by waving a light even over messy compound fractures for an instant fix, characters being careless about inflicting such injuries due to the ease of healing, and nonchalant conversations continuing while someone has a spear in their shoulder. (There are exceptions, however, such as Freeman's injuries in the first season finale.)

Franken-vehicle: Resting in one of the USS Cerritos's repair bays is Sequoia, a shuttlecraft built by the main four out of salvaged parts, with Class 6 nacelles mated to a 6A body, dinged panels with mismatched colors, and markings drawn on by hand. Although it hasn't been put into regular service because it's more of a passion project than anything else, Shaxs and Rutherford are forced to use it when the Cerritos is attacked by one of the Pakled warships and a boarding party prevents them from getting to the normal shuttlecraft to board and disable the Pakled ship. In "No Small Parts": The Pakleds' new war spaceships are made from parts of other ships. They even show that they can use grappling hooks to attach pieces of wreckage from other ships like the Solvang to their hulls to upgrade and repair on the fly.

The Unfavorite: California-class ships and their crew are treated like this. Despite being relatively new to the fleet, the ships are portrayed as being held together with duct tape and a prayer. The crews are considered throwaway to the point where if a captain were to be promoted to a more prestigious ship, leaving their crew or even their senior staff is considered standard. Despite this, just because they aren't the most prestigious or the most structurally sound, they're still Starfleet. When Captain Freeman is accused of destroying Pakled Planet, Starfleet Intelligence smell a rat and convince Freeman to go with the trial while they get evidence of her innocence, much to Mariner's shock.

Mistaken for Toilet: A Pakled spy accidentally ejects himself from the Cerritos and claims that he mistook the airlock for a toilet. The other characters think that he couldn't have been that stupid, even given Pakleds' generally low intelligence, and that he must have been attempting espionage or sabotage. A Brick Joke ending then reveals that he did, in fact, defecate in the airlock.

Beckett's Establishing Character Moment in "Second Contact" has her drunkedly severely injure Boimler. While irresponsible, Mariner's rule breaking is otherwise shown to never imperil her crew mates and that she cares deeply about them. Relatedly, her interactions with Boimler became less about her messing with him and more of a Cowboy Cop vs By-the-Book Cop dynamic.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mariner and Boimler. Mariner is street-smart and has a ton of experience, but arrogant, hotheaded, and cynical about the divide between Starfleet's ideals and its bureaucracy. Boimler is a stickler for the rules, but inexperienced and prone to panicking in unfamiliar situations, and much more willing to blindly trust in his superiors' judgment no matter what. As the series goes on, the benefits and flaws of their attitudes are examined.

Interspecies Romance: Dr. T'Ana (Caitian) and Shaxs (Bajoran) repeatedly express an interest in each other, and T'Ana even asks Mariner if she could get Captain Freeman to sign off on them entering a relationship. Following his Unexplained Recovery in season 2, they become an Official Couple. Tendi, like most Orion women seen thus far, seems to have a thing for humans, hooking up (briefly) with O'Connor and carrying an obvious torch for Rutherford. Near the end of the Season 2 finale, Mariner asks out Jennifer — an Andorian that she previously disliked — after the latter saves her life.

Bait-and-Switch: A commonly used trope on the series. A typical sitcom trope would be set up, like the fear of the boss yelling at an underling's request to transfer, only for it to be immediately subverted by him saying he's super happy for the underling and generally being supportive.

Deconstruction: The series takes a look at how horrifying and traumatizing some of the events that happen in a typical weekly Star Trek show would be, by presenting them from the perspective of your typical low-level grunt or Red Shirt. This includes opening a story with a Zombie Apocalypse on the U.S.S. Cerritos. Played with as, with the exception of Boimler, the protagonists are entirely unfazed by this.

Character Exaggeration: Any live-action Trek character who makes a cameo plays an appropriately cartoonish version of themselves. Q's games to try humanity are even more convoluted and annoying, Riker is an incredibly Large Ham who makes constant jazz references, and Tom Paris' reaction to Boimler's temporarily Kazon-like hair is to tackle him immediately. This extends to species as well. The Vulcans are even more stoic and orthodox and the Pakleds are even more stupid.

To Be Continued
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_9255105a
comment
Mike McMahan withheld the titles and story summaries of season 4's last two episodes until each was released, cluing viewers in that something serious happens in the 9th episode. And then that episode, "The Inner Fight", ended with a To Be Continued card, meaning it and "Old Friends, New Planets" are a two-part finale. As such, while both episodes have the show's trademark humor, the drama bomb starts an episode early:In "The Inner Fight", Freeman, attempting to distract Mariner with a ridiculously safe mission due to her increasingly reckless behavior, unknowingly sends her to the planet where the command crews of the stolen ships are being dumped by the mystery ship's pilot. Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and T'Lyn are attacked and end up stranded on the planet, where Mariner ends up in a fight to the death with Ma'ah that's only disrupted by Hostile Weather. While sheltering in a cave with Ma'ah, Mariner ends up admitting the root cause of her Military Maverick behavior: PTSD stemming from Sito Jaxa's death and the Dominion War. After Ma'ah helps her come to terms with her trauma, she rallies the stranded crews together, only to be abducted by and come face-to-face with the mastermind: Nick Locarno. The B-plot is mostly comedic, but is caught in the Drama Bomb because it involves Captain Freeman searching for Locarno to take him into protective custody. The episode ends with Locarno greeting Mariner and saying they'll cause trouble together...In "Old Friends, New Planets", Captain Freeman defies orders not to rescue Mariner upon seeing her denounce Locarno on a live subspace broadcast. With the system Mariner is trapped in protected by a "Trynar shield", Tendi approaches her sister D'Erika for a large enough ship to breach it and ends up having to offer to return to Orion in exchange for the ship. As this is happening, Mariner is being chased by Locarno's "Nova Fleet" and trying to reach a lifeless planet to detonate a Genesis Device Locarno was using as a deterrent, but is forced into an ion storm and ends up setting the device off there before being rescued during a confrontation with Locarno, leading to Locarno getting himself killed in a Genesis Wave when he refuses rescue. Mariner arrives on the Cerritos and apologizes for her recent behavior, but then has to say goodbye to Tendi soon after due to the deal with D'Erika.

Took a Level in Badass: The villains for the first season finale are none other than the Pakleds, who have spent the last few decades stealing whatever starship tech they can from powerful races they encountered, including the Borg. They wipe out at least one Federation starship that we see (the Solvang) before they encounter the Cerritos. Boimler, following his time on the Titan, becomes far more willing to stand up for himself than in Season 1, and (somewhat) less of a Butt-Monkey to boot. The senior staff of the Cerritos in general. In the first season, they were relegated to scout work and largely seen as an unimportant joke. But by the third season, the ship had become legendary in the California class series thanks to their exploits. In the finale, the Cerritos managed to take down two rogue Texas class ships on its own, with the rest of the California class coming to their aid to take down the last ship. By the 4th season, the Cerritos is running important missions for Starfleet, showing just how far the little ship has come.

Foreshadowing: When Shaxs introduced Rutherford to the security team, he said something about no greater honor than to die beside (the team) in battle. Shaxs dies getting Rutherford to safety in the season finale. In Season Four, each of the non-Starfleet ships - Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, Orion, even Bynar - that are attacked by the mystery ship get introduced via Lower Deck crews openly talking about plotting against their respective captains for control of their own ships. While it's expected of Klingons - whose warrior code encourages Klingon Promotion - and Romulans - established as Properly Paranoid schemers - there's a noticeable thread that gets revealed as a plot by the season's Big Bad Nick Locarno.

Location Theme Naming
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_9f7c2eb7
comment
Location Theme Naming: The California-class ships appear to be all named after lesser-known California cities (Cerritos, Merced, Rubidoux, Alhambra, and Solvang) as a reflection of the strictly second-fiddle missions they specialize in. The San Clemente, mentioned in "Crisis Point" but revealed to not be a real ship, also fits the pattern. The mentioned but unseen Sacramento is named after the capital of California which breaks the pattern but is also considered a prestigious posting by Boimler. The shuttlecrafts on the Cerritos (Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Redwood, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite) are all named after national parks in California. The U.S.S. Vancouver's shuttlecraft are all named after neighborhoods in Vancouver, BC (Marpole, Fairview and Kitsilano). The Texas-class automated ships are all named after cities in Texas such as Aledo, Dallas, and Corpus Cristi

Stealth Sequel: Season 4 reveals Mariner's character arc to be this to "The First Duty", revealing her reasonings for resistance to promotion were rooted in the fallout of the aforementioned episode, with her friend Sito's later death on a spying mission and the Dominion War serving as a Trauma Conga Line that caused her to lose confidence in the Federation's ability to uphold its idealistic mission in a 24th century that repeatedly demanded more moral greys and sacrifices from Starfleet's officers to maintain the peace. Fittingly, Nicholas Locarno emerges as the Big Bad of the season, forcing Mariner to deal with her issues in the open after four seasons of keeping them buried.

Rule of Funny
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_a60e3252
comment
Rule of Funny: The series takes common Trek tropes and exaggerates them immensely for a good time. It's unlikely that any of the characters could get away with being the way they are in a live-action Trek show—and the characters from old shows who get appearances are exaggerated themselves so they fit in with the cartoon absurdity. (Notably, the Pakleds are depicted here in the exact same way as they were during their one episode on TNG, but this time they don't stick out at all.) The reason that curse words on this show are bleeped out when the other new Trek shows don't is because it's funnier.

Status Quo Is God: Done in an intentional, funny and self-referencial way. The second season quickly undoes almost everything which happened in the season one finale: Boimler gets demoted to Ensign and sent back to the Cerritos while his transporter clone stays on the Titan, Mariner stops being her mother's unofficial second-in-command, and Shaxs who sacrificed himself comes back to life without any official explanation given. Subverted in season 4. In the first episode of the season, Boimler, Tendi, T'Lyn and Mariner are all promoted to Lieutenant Jr. Grade, with Rutherford getting a promotion to the same rank the next episode. In addition, all of the main characters move out of the bunks they slept in during the first three seasons, with Boimler and Rutherford becoming roommates.

First Contact: Explicitly averted. The U.S.S. Cerritos and her crew are among those charged with carrying out "second contact," the follow-up work with a species and their homeworld after it has been discovered and contact has been made by one of Starfleet's premier front-line exploratory ships. In the season 2 finale, Captain Freeman gets to make first contact (her first time doing so) with the Lapeerians, filling for Captain Gomez who was recovering from the day's ordeal in sickbay. It goes very well.

Modesty Towel: There's a recurring extra who walks through the communal bunks wearing nothing but a (very short) towel, showing how there's very little privacy to be had. Mariner at one point complains that he could at least replicate himself a bigger towel. Tendi also wears a (larger) one when talking to Boimler at one point. Privacy is not commonplace in the lower decks.

Kids Prefer Boxes: In "We'll Always Have Tom Paris," Dr. T'Ana sends Tendi to get a family heirloom. In transit, the heirloom gets wrecked, but T'Ana doesn't care, she only wanted the large wooden box it came in.

Accidental Misnaming
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_af616e40
comment
Accidental Misnaming: Throughout the first season, Boimler's superior officers consistently misremember his name, culminating in Riker calling him "Boomler" in the season finale, even as he's offering him a promotion and transfer to the Titan. As part of his Character Development, this is completely dropped in the second season.

comment
In Season Four, each of the non-Starfleet ships - Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, Orion, even Bynar - that are attacked by the mystery ship get introduced via Lower Deck crews openly talking about plotting against their respective captains for control of their own ships. While it's expected of Klingons - whose warrior code encourages Klingon Promotion - and Romulans - established as Properly Paranoid schemers - there's a noticeable thread that gets revealed as a plot by the season's Big Bad Nick Locarno.

No OSHA Compliance
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_b47d95be
comment
No OSHA Compliance: Safety standards on the Cerritos can be... lax. In the first episode, an emergency hatch somehow locks down during a red alert, which is the opposite of what it should do. There's an access panel in the Cetacean Ops tank that can't be operated by flippers, requiring a risky dive if it ever needs to be opened. On one occasion, Mariner does repairs on a turbolift without taking it offline, and then Shaxs brushes away the "Do Not Enter" sign she put up to keep anyone from using it while she's in the shaft. Then there's the fact that in the event of a power outage the ship computer considers diverting power from the holodeck safety protocols a higher priority than the holodeck itself.

Take That!: Much of "Kayshon, His Eyes Open" is written as an open critique of how much of Star Trek in recent years has become focused on action and epic serialized story arcs, to the point of having lost the love for science and exploration that had originally been the heart of the franchise, going so far as to have Riker himself stating that he preferred the Enterprise-D with its concerts to the wild action adventure that is his current life aboard the Titan.

Ink-Suit Actor: Every voice actor in the opening credits could plausibly play their characters in live-action. The creators of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds took advantage of this with a Crossover episode in which Tawny Newsome's Mariner and Jack Quaid's Boimler jump not only into the past, but into live-action portrayal. The resemblances are not perfect — Mariner's hairstyle had to be revised, for instance — but the complaints about the episode did not center around physical quirks. Overuse of gimmicks aside, there is no reason the same could not be done with the remaining characters.

Aerith and Bob: Names like Jack and Carol sit comfortably next to Samanthan and Bradward. Played with, since the more unusual names are shortened to something more "normal", like Sam and Brad. Of course, Samanthan (சாமந�தன�) is a traditional Tamil boy's name meaning leader, so Rutherford's a Bob not an Aerith.

Proud Hunter Race

Proud Hunter Race: Kromsapiods are a species of hulking sapient predators with a deep-seated urge to hunt that becomes deeply frustrating if left unaddressed for too long. However, they also respect life above all else, and as such use ritualized, non-lethal "catch and release" hunts to sate their instincts by pursuing willing sapient prey, subduing it non-lethally (although they have no particular qualms about causing reversible injury, which in the 24th Century can be quite a lot), and taking a few pictures to commemorate the occasions before releasing it. The hunt's setup is an involved affair where the prey is given an hour's head start while the Kromsapiod undergoes a ritual, paints their face, and inhales vapor from special candles.

Shout-Out
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Badgey from "Terminal Provocations" is a parody of Clippy, the notoriously loathed "virtual assistant" from the 1997-2003 versions of Microsoft Office. The character of Saul Rubichek is likely a reference to Saul Rubinek, who played Kivas Fajo in the TNG episode, "The Most Toys". In the first episode, when asked what sand is, Boimler explains that it "gets everywhere". Boimler is from Modesto, California likely as a nod to the hometown of the creator of Trek's historic competing franchise. Peanut Hamper rolling through space recalls Wheatley at the end of Portal 2. God-Ransom appearing as a disembodied head and hands resembles Andross from Star Fox. Rutherford's sudden liking for pears is probably a reference to a Running Gag from Doctor Who where The Doctor hates pears, but often winds up eating them when he loses his memory and can't remember his dislike of them. Similarly, one of Rutherford’s tools first seen in the fifth episode either has the same sound effect as, or just straight up is, the sonic screwdriver. An additional reference in the episode where this happens was Ransom, having gained godlike powers and an ego to match, deciding to turn all the inhabitants of a planet into copies of himself. Some of the items in the collector's ship include a roomba, a painting by Piet Mondrian, and the Curiosity Mars rover. The station security officers in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers" bear a strong resemblance to Judge Dredd. When Rutherford tries to get re-assigned to Security, Shaxs starts a simulation where a group of Borg drones is attacking Rutherford. Since he's completely clueless about hand-to-hand combat, Rutherford allows his cybernetic implant to fully take over. The resulting fight is straight out of Upgrade, including a few moves being directly copied. The in-universe holomovie Crisis Point: The Rise of Vindicta is chock-full of various nods toward Star Trek movies under J. J. Abrams and especially their aesthetics, mocking them relentlessly. Rutherford is assigned a role of "Bionic 5". Shempo, who is there to replace Boimler and drawn in a way to resemble Shemp, rather than Boimler. One of the Corazonian painters seen when the clouds start falling in In the Cradle of vexilon looks like Bob Ross. The Orion drinking game from "Something Borrowed, Something Green" seems to be based on the Wood Beast scene from Flash Gordon (1980).

Two Lines, No Waiting
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_ca7ec334
comment
Two Lines, No Waiting: Like most TNG-era Trek shows, Lower Decks generally has at least two running plotlines in each episode. In season 1, generally Mariner would get the A-plot, with or without Boimler; if Boimler wasn't part of the A-plot he would get the B-plot; and Rutherford and Tendi would either share the B-plot, be divvied between the A-plot and the B-plot, or get a flimsy C-plot which is so slight it's basically a Running Gag. Starting in season 2, Mariner is relegated to the B-plot more often, with Boimler either carrying the A-plot by himself or sharing it with other characters; the senior staff also begins to carry their own plotlines, with Freeman, Ransom, Shaxs, and even Billups being given their own stories. In season 3, Freeman is allowed to carry multiple A-plots by herself, sometimes relegating the Lower Deckers to the B-plot or even minor roles in their own series.

Mariner has apparently been promoted a number of times and has served on five starships. She always self-sabotages so that she can be busted back to ensign and thus avoid any responsibilities (or, as it turns out, having to send people to their deaths because the Dominion War surrounded her with death before she could fully recover from a friend being killed in action).

Serial Escalation: Done with the opening credits.

Season 2 throws in the Pakleds opportunistically attacking the Romulans, and season 3 goes a step further by adding a Crystalline Entity that one-shots a Cube. Season 4 throws in a Breen ship chasing a Bird-Of-Prey and the Whale Probe hanging out nearby.

Resting in one of the USS Cerritos's repair bays is Sequoia, a shuttlecraft built by the main four out of salvaged parts, with Class 6 nacelles mated to a 6A body, dinged panels with mismatched colors, and markings drawn on by hand. Although it hasn't been put into regular service because it's more of a passion project than anything else, Shaxs and Rutherford are forced to use it when the Cerritos is attacked by one of the Pakled warships and a boarding party prevents them from getting to the normal shuttlecraft to board and disable the Pakled ship.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Combined with a hefty dose of Seen It All in I, Excretus when Captain Freeman orders the crew to fly into increasingly dangerous situations to scare the scheming inspector into giving them the passing grade they deserve. The inspector is understandably freaking out, while the rest of the crew calmly continues to do their jobs. When she finally caves and Rutherford rights the ship, a shot of the mess hall shows the rest of the crew staring at the blackhole they were almost sucked into with casual boredom for a second before returning to whatever they were doing.

comment
Reset Button: The first three episodes of season 2 each devote themselves to reversing a major plot development of the first season finale: In "Strange Energies", the alliance between Freeman and Mariner is unceremoniously abandoned after they both decide it doesn't suit them. However the two characters get along much better in the second season than they did in the first. In "Kayshon, His Eyes Open", after a transporter malfunction, Boimler is reassigned back to the Cerritos so that he and his transporter duplicate aren't serving aboard the same ship and he is demoted back to Ensign. However his brief time on the Titan matured him enough to make him a much more competent officer when he returns, which the other characters notice. In "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", Shaxs is mysteriously Back from the Dead for reasons unexplained, in a parody of the many uses of Death Is Cheap throughout franchise history.

Mariner is an Action Girl who's incredibly knowledgeable about the galaxy, but also relentlessly insubordinate as well as prone to acting before thinking.

Ship Tease
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: Boimler/Mariner has a lot of She Is Not My Girlfriend moments and are a lot closer than just two similarly ranked members of a crew should be. Rutherford/Tendi has Tendi constantly getting jealous if anyone else shows Rutherford any attention, and later Rutherford goes through a memory wipe and ends up with the goal of ensuring he never again forgets Tendi. Mariner gets some Belligerent Sexual Tension with Ensign Sh'reyan that seems to be reciprocated toward the end of Season 2.

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: Although a spacefaring civilization, the Gelrakians haven't developed any Ray Guns and still rely on crystal spears when attacking enemies. Crystal battle blades and crystal-embedded clubs are traditional for a Trial by Combat. Although the last may be because their leaders think that they're cool, and their starships are equipped with phasers (although possibly not photon torpedoes, since they're not crystal-based).

Decon-Recon Switch: While the series spends a decent amount of time showing how horrible a lot of the stuff that goes on in most Trek shows would actually be, it also shows a great love and affection for the franchise as a whole. It also shows that working in Starfleet, while dangerous, can also be a fun adventure if experienced with the right people. Above all things, the point is made that exploration requires further engagement with the societies they discover and humanitarian efforts to leave them in better condition than before they showed up.

In Space, Everyone Can See Your Face: Notable in that, because the show is animated, spacesuit-wearing characters could just be drawn with visible faces beneath mostly transparent visors, but instead the artists depict internal lights illuminating the faces to maintain consistency with the visual style of the live action shows and films.

Art Evolution: The Cel Shading CGI for the Cerritos has evolved since the early episodes. It appears that the Cerritos model was revamped if not replaced entirely, with slight changes to the proportions and adjustments to the lighting scheme, notably giving the name and registry number its own spotlight in season two.

In "Crisis Point", Tendi is upset because of the stereotypes associated with Orions, who often happen to be pirates and are famous for their seductive "slave girls", etc.. Though her protest does border on a Suspiciously Specific Denial.

Mildly Military: Even more so than what is typical in the Trek Verse. The Lower Deckers are a goofy offbeat bunch with more than their fair share of orders-defying antics. Surprisingly averted with Mariner, though, as her shenanigans have apparently gotten to the point that she is about to be cashiered and her own mother is actively seeking a reason to kick her off the ship. Although the fact she's in her own mother's chain of command is its own Artistic License – Military. By the third season the show openly acknowledges some of the military-lite features of Starfleet, but also makes it clear Mariner is on her last options if she wants to continue, forcing her to shape up or get kicked out.

The Alleged Car
 Star Trek: Lower Decks / int_f237981e
comment
The Alleged Car: While the U.S.S. Cerritos is a Cool Starship, she does have her malfunctions. The opening credits show the ship being prone to complete power loss, and in the series premiere, red alert somehow deactivates a certain emergency hatch. The shuttle Sequoia, which is a constant presence in the ensigns' repair bay, is a subversion. Despite its battered and patchy appearance, the one time it is needed for an emergency, it does the job quite well. Doesn't mean there aren't still things wrong with it, but it's clearly spaceworthy. The shuttle sent by Starbase 80 is a dingy brown and really doesn't look like it should have managed to fly to the Cerritos, much less back, in keeping with Starbase 80 being a hellhole.

In season 1, generally Mariner would get the A-plot, with or without Boimler; if Boimler wasn't part of the A-plot he would get the B-plot; and Rutherford and Tendi would either share the B-plot, be divvied between the A-plot and the B-plot, or get a flimsy C-plot which is so slight it's basically a Running Gag.

Canon Immigrant: When Riker's U.S.S. Titan makes her first onscreen appearance, it's still Sean Tourangeau's competition-winning design for the covers of the Star Trek: Titan novel series. Mr. Broker (from the episode "The Inner Fight") resembles Balok's puppet in TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver", though he is not a puppet himself, bringing to mind the expanded universe explanation that Balok species is called the Linnik, and the puppet's species is the Dassik as seen in the expanded verse novel The Face of the Unknown. The Sphinx Workpod makes its official appearance here, having only been seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and meant to show up in the TNG pilot, but was too expensive.

Theme Naming: All California-Class starships are named after California cities, especially lesser-known ones. The shuttlecraft on the Cerritos are named after state parks. Pakleds name everything after their species name usually following the pattern of "Pakled Blank.� Their homeworld is a good example as it’s just called Pakled Planet. This also includes their ships with at least one of them just called Pakled.

Season 4: The Cerritos again, this time towing an Orion battleship they intend to use as a makeshift mass driver to penetrate a shield barrier to rescue Mariner.
