The crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos save the day! Join your misty-eyed hosts as they discuss a brilliantly-conceived and produced series finale. Here's hoping this isn't goodbye to the characters from Lower Decks, but merely an optimistic (if a bit tearful) "See you later!" Thanks Mike McMahon and crew for 50 awesome episodes and lore to last these fans a lifetime...

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We offer part one of our exploration of the final frontier in, well, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier!

We take a break from our regular crew to enjoy a couple of stories about other people. Join your two-pipped hosts as they discuss various definitions of upper deckers, clever utilization of alternate-infused nostalgia, and the rapidly diminishing number of standard time units that remain in this utterly brilliant sci-fi series.

We are on travel this week so in lieu of our regular programming we have put together a very special bonus show in which Dan plays sound clips from across the Star Trek franchise while Patrick and Jesse (and you, the audience!) try to guess the character, series, and episode!

Mariner, Tendi, and T'Lynn have a heck of a time on a brief away mission. Join your partially-dilated hosts as they discuss brilliantly-remixed sci-fi conventions, picture-perfect character development, and the always present (yet often under-appreciated) risks of decorative shrimp.

Mariner mentors while Boimler befuddles. Join your shape-agnostic hosts as they discuss hilarious jokes strapped onto tropey plots, debate the nature and purpose of shapely secretions, and lament the rapidly approaching end to this wonderful addition to the Star Trek franchise. Also, Dan and Patrick have at least one argument over semantics!

Mariner and Freeman go on parallel journeys of self-discovery. Join your bat-curious hosts as they discuss mother/daughter dualities, myriad opportunities for Lower Decks spinoffs, and the mystery behind Chad's slippery corn dogs. Also, Dan challenges a well-worn analogy and Jesse briefly falls asleep again (but we bet you won't notice).

Mariner manipulates Ma'ah while Dr. Migleemo tangles with with a couple of tasteless tweeters. Join your increasingly peckish hosts as they discuss expertly-performed layering of serious and silly, an emerging understanding of this seasons over-arching plotline, and the big chunky Easter eggs regarding soups, stews, and chowders. Plus, a number of unrelated diversions!

Mariner and Boimler learn about the darker side of casual assumptions. Join your twenty-sided hosts as they discuss well-executed (if somewhat standard) character-focused plot lines, the joy of getting to learn more about T'Lynn's tastes, and the value of incorporating a lithe slippery person into your team of adventurers. Dan also discusses, at no small length, his views on chicken tenders.

Mariner and Boimler find inspiration in themselves while Tendi and Rutherford navigate potentially life-changing decisions. Join your slightly alternate hosts as they discuss the glorious (if bittersweet) return of Star Trek: Lower Decks for its fifth and final season, the series' continued mastery of combining humor with emotionally-resonant and intellectually-stimulating story lines, and the awesome cry of the noble blazzard.
