'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Releases First Clip, Poster For Final Season On Star Trek Day
The fight to save Lower Decks continues, even on a day of celebration
Happy Star Trek Day! This year’s festivities were known to be a bit smaller scale, but at the same time, some might say it trims the fat of self-indulgence. The best example is probably the one released preview clip from the one Star Trek project in best position to release one: Lower Decks. Its final season premieres on Paramount+ on October 24 so a month and a half away it’s a good time to start the hype.
In the clip, Tendi, still voiced by Noel Wells, having returned to the Orion Syndicate at the end of last season, goes undercover in the Beta Quadrant accompanying a skeevy creep of a rich collector who looks like Palor Toff from “The Most Toys” and tries to woo her. His gallery is identical to Kivas Fajo’s display room from the same episode. It is. full of obscure items from Star Trek past that make for fantastic Easter Eggs, including the Veltan lust idol and the Bajoran Reckoning tablet, the latter of which was introduced in the Deep Space Nine episode “The Reckoning”. She takes control of the ship as the syndicate raids. However she has to intervene when they’re on the verge of killing. And she won’t compromise to them losing body parts either.
Star Trek Day 2024 Sets Course For Charity, Pop Up Events, And Free Premieres
September 8 is fast-approaching, which means the fifth annual Star Trek Day is almost here. With the dual strikes now long over, one may expect something of a full-strength event stocked with cast and crew across many of the past and present Star Trek
The first key art is the season’s poster, homaging Star Trek V: The Final Frontier as per tradition. It comes from Vice Press artist Matt Ferguson. This season the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing “space potholes”, which are subspace rifts that trouble the Alpha Quadrant. Handling these “potholes” would be easy for Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford, but that’s on top of having to to deal with an Orion war, angry Klingons, diplomatic disasters, murder mysteries and scariest of all: their own career aspirations. This underdog crew is dangerously close to being promoted out of the lower decks and into strange new Starfleet roles.
Lower Decks’s main crew, in addition to Wells as D'Vana Tendi, has Beckett Mariner voiced by Tawny Newsome, Brad Boimler voiced by Jack Quaid, and Sam Rutherford voiced by Eugene Cordero, with Captain Carol Freeman voiced by Dawnn Lewis, Commander Jack Ransom voiced by Jerry O’Connell, and Doctor T’Ana voiced by Gillian Vigman. The series is produced by CBS Studios’ animation arm CBS Eye Animation Productions as well as Secret Hideout, the production company of the franchise's modern shepherd Alex Kurtzman; and Roddenberry Entertainment, the production company of the Roddenberry family, primarily Rod. Both serve as executive producers Trevor Roth and Katie Krentz of 219 Productions also serve in said role alongside creator and showrunner Mike McMahan.

Oh it’s definitely that time again. Another far off future date used in fiction has arrived for us to feel old and point and laugh and reflect on the inaccuracies. Today is August 30, 2024.
