‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ finds riches in its own margins
If there was a sore spot, it was that the penultimate episode, “Trusted Sources” wheeled out the hackyplot. It’s about as hackneyed as the one where a sitcom character has their boss over for dinner yet accidentally forgets to tell their partner. It’s only really a crowbar to get Mariner pushed out of Starfleet in preparation for the finale, and it never looked like it was going to stick given her obvious love of the Cerritos.
Another sign of the show’s confidence is in its second crew-lite episode . This time, it was centered on the fate of the evil Exocomp Peanut Hamper, last seen making a run for it in the first season finale. “A Mathematically Perfect Resolution” allowed the show to both flesh out a previously one-note character, and explore a new corner of the Star Trek world.
My heart can do nothing but swell when Nana Visitor , Armin Shimmerman , JG Hertzler , Susan Gibney and George Takei . And the show has the appropriate respect for Trek MVP Jeffrey Combs to bring him back for a quick visit to Agimus, still trapped in Starfleet’s filing cabinet for self-aware, megalomaniacal computers.
