Scenario
“Star Trek: Lower Decks” focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must juggle their duties and social lives, often while the ship is rocked by a multitude of science-fictional anomalies. The ship’s deck crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T’Ana. This is the second animated spin-off of the franchise after “Star Trek: The Animated Series” from 1973-1974, but it has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.
