Lower Decks just keeps cranking out the fun, the laughs, and the OG Star Trek references with all the wit and wisdom you could ask for out of modern-day animated adult comedy. Pakleds (a TNG throwback) are working their way up in the ranks of becoming cosmic warlords (while still functioning on the maturity level of confused toddlers), engineering finds itself in a battle of life or sex with the Hyperion Queen who has a weird fetish regarding her son’s sex life, and a Pandronian Star Fleet Drill instructor (a type of alien character resurrected from the Star Trek: The Animated Series) is brought aboard to run the crew through impossibly weird, sexually confusing and morally challenging drills in an effort to save its job as a Star Fleet instructor. And that’s just within the confines of episodes 6-8.

Oh and Ensign Tandi gets pooped out of an alien unleashed on board during grunt work. I mean, it happens.

With two episodes left, Lower Decks is proving to be the low-key but on-brand animated addiction we’ve been looking for. Adult addiction that is. It seems a few of Season 2 episodes have provoked some adverse reactions out of fans, and if you haven’t laid eyes on the most recent episodes and are easily offended you may want to sit this one out. However, if you survived S2 Epsiode 4 Mugato, Gumato, I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

Don’t worry there are still plenty of us deviants who can laugh at a bird/alien hybrid dressed in bondage gear or cringe at an orgy in the cafeteria-centered VR drill because it’s still Star Trek, it’s just been kicked up a notch. Relax.
