The crews of the U.S.S. Cerritos and the U.S.S. Enterprise collide in this Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks crossover event.
Ever since season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was in development, fans have been waiting for the crossover event with Lower Decks. Would it work? Would it be fun? Would it be ridiculous? Well, come to find out it works amazingly well. Jay Shepard (Enjoy Stuff, Superhero Suite, and SHIELD: Case Files) joins us as we discuss all the hijinks that Boimler and Mariner get up to when they travel to the past and encounter Captain Pike and his crew. This episode is a rollicking good time, and we had a great time discussing it. Thanks for downloading or streaming this episode of Warp Trails and joining us for the discussion.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How well the Star Trek creators blended Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks,
- Boimler’s multiple instance of violating the temporal directives,
- Spock’s strange behavior in this episode,
- The tribute to Nichelle Nichols as Uhura in this episode,
- Boimler’s respect and awe of Una Chin-Riley,
- How the crew of the Enterprise geek out over the crew of the Enterprise NX-01, and
- The great final animated moments of this episode featuring the crew of Strange New Worlds and more.
