We are just days away from the penultimate episode of STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS season 4, and the crew is in for a rough ride. Last week’s episode was the first to show signs that this season running out of dilithium. In his review, Phil said “Overall, this week’s episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks is a fun but instantly forgettable episode that fails to add anything of real relevance to the season as a whole. Although Mike McMahan and his brilliant team have given many of the old tropes a fun and contemporary polish, it is nothing we haven’t seen before.” But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s get the latest intel from Starfleet command because hilarious activity has been reported along the Neutral Zone. And we can’t rule out some typical hijinks from Mariner.
A disturbing report from Deep Space Five has alerted us to a mysterious vessel attacking passing ships in the Alpha Quadrant. But fear not cadets. We will be on hand to bring you weekly updates and the latest episode stills directly from the final frontier. And that continues right here. So grab your Tricorders and set a course for the penultimate episode of the season. Maximum warp!

This week, we will be taking an unexpected turn and going in without any prior knowledge or preparation. Ordinarily, the great team at Paarmount+ shares screeners for the upcoming episodes, as well as the official synopsis. This week, however, there are major implications for the season as a whole and the press are being kept in the dark. Which normally means big things are incoming! Showrunner Mike McMahan expressed concern about preventing spoilers for the last two episodes at New York Comic Con. So, it would seem we are all set to experience the adventure without any prior knowledge. Which should make for a thrilling Thursday morning!
Nevertheless, the team has sent over the traditional image gallery for the episode. And it reveals Mariner being chased by a hostile alien species, and the rest of the crew meeting with some Federation scientists. So scroll down and check it out.
