10Lower Decks Pays Homage To Star Trek VI’s One Last Adventure Trailer
“You are invited to join them for one last everything…”
The orifice of theStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 poke render highlighting from the past four season figure on to the USS Cerritos to the strains of James Horner . This is a direct facelift from the tease trailer that promotedStar Trek VI : The Undiscovered Countryas " one last adventure " , which depicted look-alike fromStar Trek : The Original Seriesand the previous five movies on the USS Enterprise - A , before it garble out of shaft . Mariner ’s rebelliousness makes this a wry tribute to theStar Trek VIteaser , set the stage for aLower Decksfinale that will balance emotion with irreverent humor .
9An Alternate Reality USS Cerritos
“I’m Captain Becky Freeman…”
Our first glimpse of the USS Cerritos in activeness finds them run into a quantum fissure , which has an alternate version on the other side . This alternate realness USS Cerritos is commanded by Captain Becky Freeman . However , Mariner ’s adoption of her family name is n’t the only difference on the alternate Cerritos . Boimler can be attend sporting aWill Riker beardwhile manning the helm , and Lieutenant Sam Rutherford ( Eugene Cordero ) has what search like a partial Soong - style android skull , as well as a mostly cybernetic body . Meanwhile , Lt . Commander Shaxs ( Fred Tatasciore ) is sporting an impressive Worf - expressive style ponytail .
8The Cerritos is Closing Quantum Fissures
“…the third one this month!”
The quantum scissure encountered by the USS Cerritos crew is very alike to the one encountered by Lieutenant Commander Worf ( Michael Dorn ) inStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 7 , episode 11 , " Parallels " . A quantum crack can be a keyhole through which to peer into other world , such as the Captain Becky Freeman timeline seen in theStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 drone . Interestingly , Mariner states that this is the third such anomaly they ’ve encounter in a calendar month . The precis forStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 entail that this may be the time of year electric arc :
In time of year five ofSTAR TREK : LOWER DECKS , the crew of theU.S.S. Cerritosis tasked with closing “ space potholes ” - subspace rifts which are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant .
7Tendi Is Aboard An Orion Pirate Ship
And it has solar sails!
At theend ofStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 4 , Lieutenant D’Vana Tendi ( Noël Wells ) resigned her Starfleet commission to return her Orion crime family . TheLower Decksseason 5 trailer sees Tendi and her sisterD’Erika ( Ariel Winter ) aboard an Orion pirate ship . A brief glimpse of the vessel ’s exterior reveals that the Orions , like the ancient Bajorans , use solar canvas to sail the stars and , presumptively , reave unsuspecting ship . Tendi is later seen joining an Orion landing place party , about to breach the Isaac Hull of their latest victims .
D’Vana Tendi has not only become one of the most interesting characters on Star Trek : Lower deck , but she has also redefined the Orions as a metal money .
6Boimler And Ransom Go To Risa?
“…a little undercover mission”
It looks likeStar Trek : Lower Deckswill be revisit the infamouspleasure major planet Risain time of year 5 . One gibe watch Commander Jack Ransom ( Jerry O’Connell ) say Boimler they ’re on an " surreptitious delegacy " while wear swim short and his best vacation shirt ; unbuttoned , naturally . Later , Boimler , Ransom , and Billups are glimpse attend worried in a tropical river , which looks very standardized to those place on Risa , last seen inStar Trek : Enterpriseseason 2 , sequence 7 , " The Seventh " .
5Mariner Plays The Ressikan Flute?
She’s no Jean-Luc Picard…
Another brief moment from the trailer see Mariner jamming with a musical musical instrument , to the distaste of her fellow Lower Deckers . On closer inspection , it bears a striking law of similarity to the Ressikan flute glass possess by Captain Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) inStar Trek : The Next Generation . Because there ’s a voiceover of Mariner promise us this is " the starting signal " and not " the end”,you ca n’t discover if this unquestionably is a Ressikan flute . However , it definitely look a lot like Captain Picard ’s instrumental role of selection .
Musician Brice Martin provide the sound of the Ressikan flute inStar Trek : The Next genesis , and not Patrick Stewart .
4Is Lower Decks Introducing A New Andorian Subspecies?
Mariner, T’Lyn and Tendi get new orange antennae.
TheStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 trailer also depicts Mariner , Tendi and T’Lyn get genetically altered to pass for orange - skinned stranger with antenna . Whether these noncitizen are an offshoot of the Andorians is indecipherable . However , Star Trek : Enterprisepreviously introducedthe Aenar , a race of Andorian that exist in the frozen northerly wastes of the planet . The Aenar recently had a resurgence courtesy ofStar Trek : Strange New Worlds ' Hemmer(Bruce Horak ) . If these orange tree - skinned aliens are another subspecies of Andorian , then they ’re clearly pre - warp , explain why Tendi , Mariner , and T’Lyn receive their alterations .
3Klingon “Boob Window”
Mariner upsets a Klingon female.
Mariner ’s Klingon best friend Ma’ah ( Jon Curry ) is back inStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 . Judging by the trailer , Boimler and Mariner are on Qo’noS to touch in several Klingon rituals , presumably as part of Ma’ah ’s hart night , as perStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 6 , sequence 7 , " You are Cordially Invited " . If that ’s the casing , then Ma’ah ’s future married woman does not approve of him fraternizing with mankind like Mariner . Ever the diplomat , Mariner asks her what crawled up her " boob window " and died , thus canonise this rooter verbal description ofStar Trek ’s distaff Klingon costumes .
Star Trek has many big Klingon character from Kor to Worf and Kruge to Torres . But who are the just Klingon warriors that Qo’noS has to offer ?
2Boimler Goes Skiing
Let’s hope there’s no leftover Quazulu VIII virus.
Boimler is seen plummet down a ski - run , out of ascendancy , at one period in theStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 trailer . It ’s unclear if this is on an alien planet or in the USS Cerritos ' holodeck , but both can be fraught with peril . InStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 1 , instalment 14 , " Angel One " , a holodeck skiing head trip to Denubian the Alps ended in catastrophe when the child were scupper to the Quazulu VIII virus and spread it to the work party of the USS Enterprise - D. If Boimler is skiing in the holodeck , then let ’s hope he ’s picked somewhere like the Swiss alps instead , to avoid another Quazulu eruption .
1The Enterprise NX-01’s Decontamination Chamber
Will Boimler finally get to play with the grapplers?
Initially , the scene of Commander Jack Ransom lathering himself up in theStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 trailer seems like nothing new . However , on closer inspection , it looks like Ransom and the Cerritos crew are in a 22nd one C decontamination sleeping accommodation . smart blue-blooded chamber like this were set up on the Enterprise NX-01 and other early Starfleet vessel , but have n’t been seen in their 23rd or twenty-fourth century equivalents . WithLower Decksseason 5 investigating secular unusual person , is it possible that the crew have find oneself themselves aboard the Enterprise NX-01 , where they ’re ram to decontaminate ?
… if Boimler and Mariner ’s previous visits to the USS Enterprise , Deep Space Nine , and the USS Voyager are anything to go by , Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ) wo n’t know what hit him …
Mike McMahan previouslypromisedEnterprise"would get some love"inStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 , and it bet like he ’s keep his word . Quite how the Cerritos gang find themselves inside a 22nd century decontamination chamber remains to be understand . However , if Boimler and Mariner ’s previous visit to the USS Enterprise , Deep Space Nine , and the USS Voyager are anything to go by , Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ) wo n’t know what hit him whenStar Trek : Lower Decksreturns for its fifth and final time of year in October .
