Duplicating aliens, party crashing, abandonment issues, and more classic Star Trek Easter eggs feature in the latest episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.
In the fifth episode of the second season of Lower Decks, Boimler and Mariner finally get around to dealing with the abandonment issue that has been hanging over their friendship this season. It all comes to a head when Boimler can sneak into an exclusive Starfleet party, but Mariner’s credentials won’t get her that far. However, the truly absurd part of this episode arrives with the Dooplers and their annoying habit of duplicating when uncomfortable or embarrassed. Unfortunately, Captain Freeman and the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos have to deal with that. Join us on the latest episode of Warp Trails as we dive into the jokes and details from Star Trek: Lower Decks – “An Embarrassment of Dooplers.”
On this episode we discuss:
- The history behind the Mugato and mispronunciations,
- The rumor that Mariner is a black ops agent,
- Rutherford and Boimler playing their Diplomats game,
- The feral Ferengi on Frylon IV,
- Tendi’s mission to complete the crew physicals, and
- A scam that Captain Freeman nearly didn’t detect.
