Season four of Star Trek: Lower Decks concludes with the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos disobeying orders to stop the Nova Fleet.
It is bitter sweet that season four of Star Trek: Lower Decks has reached its finale. Nick Locarno has assembled a fleet and is attempting to recruit lower deckers from across the Alpha Quadrant to his cause. However, he didn’t expect Mariner to rally to Starfleet’s cause. As Mariner attempts a daring escape, Captain Freeman and the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos disobey direct orders to mount a rescue mission. Story arcs come to a close in a fitting conclusion to this season of Lower Decks. Join us as we dive into all the details.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The flashback scene were Mariner talks to Nova Squadron before their infamous Starburst maneuver,
- The reveal of the Nova Fleet,
- The Nick Locarno/Tom Parris joke,
- Mariner’s escape from Nova Fleet,
- Captain Freeman’s recruitment of Orion assistance,
- The Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan homage elements of this episode,
