What Is ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ About?
While ships like theEnterprise,Discovery, andVoyagerboldly go where no one hs gone before, support ships likeLower Decks’USS Cerritosgo where several have gone before; taking on less glamorous missions to keep the Federation running smoothly. The show focuses on a quartet of low-level ensigns on the ship; neurotic perfectionist Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), rebellious underachiever Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), perky Orion D’Vana Tendi (Noel Wells), and cheery cyborg Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero). The ship’s command crew, who mean well but sometimes forget that the “lower deckers” are real people, include Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis), who also happens to be Mariner’s mother; action man First Officer Jack Ransom (Jerry O’Connell); cantankerous medical officer T’Ana (Gillian Vigman); and battle-hardened tactical officer Shaxs (Fred Tatasciore). Together, they may not crew the best ship in the fleet, but they’ve handled their share of serious threats, including marauding Pakleds, belligerent supercomputers, and even Starfleet’s own homicidal AI experiments.
Lower Decksisn’t the only Star Trek you can watch on Prime. It’s also the new streaming home for the first tenStar Trekmovies; the first six, starring Captain Kirk and theOriginal Seriescrew, and the next four, with Picard and hisNext Generationcohorts. The three “Kelvin timeline” films, withChris Pineand company as a reimaginedEnterprisecrew, remain on Paramount+.
