Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 release schedule – When is the next episode?
How will things end for our loveable underdogs?
Star Trek: Lower Decks is nearing the end of its chaotic journey across the final frontier.
Although it was greeted with some scepticism when it was first announced, the franchise's first foray into animated comedy has blossomed into a genuine fan favourite.
Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome have certainly embraced their roles in the Star Trek canon, breathing life into their hapless duo Brad Boimler and Beckett Mariner – even portraying them in live action for a Strange New Worlds crossover.
But now, they're preparing to move on, as the USS Cerritos gets to work on its last mission – and it sounds just as gloriously silly as everything that has come before it.
The synopsis reads: "The crew is tasked with closing 'space potholes' — subspace rifts that are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant.
"Pothole duty would be easy for junior officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford... if they didn't also have to deal with an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries, and scariest of all — their own career aspirations."
