In its fourth season, the animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks remains both a great workplace farce and a charming Trek sendup.
, the adult animated comedy from formerwriter Mike McMahan, I was a bit skeptical. It’s not the first cartoon rendition of the franchise , but it is a significant departure from what came before because it’s the only installment not styled as a drama.
As a comedy that highlights the less decorated “lower deckers” of Starfleet, the show is frequently more dedicated to the foibles of its characters than grand adventures. Thankfully, this works out fine because it’s a blast to watch these formerly fresh-faced ensigns quip, bumble, and generally act like chaotic twenty-somethings. Boimler’s strait-laced, social-climbing antics are a natural foil for Mariner’s rule-breaking and deep-seated fear of responsibility.
Longtime Trekkies will enjoy all the deep-cut gags, and if you’re in on the joke, the specificity of these bits makes them that much funnier. This season has some great segments around “evil” machine life and the realities of a particularly capitalism-obsessed society that cleverly leverages this existing material.
It also addresses the chaotic nature of these missions, pushing its comedic take on being Starfleet to the forefront. Its entire premise is almost certainly inspired by an episode from, “Lower Decks,” in which the perspective shifts from the captain’s chair to the ensigns and other entry-level members of the Enterprise who are thoroughly out of the loop and intimidated by their superiors.
