The USS Cerritos is dispatched on a mission where it ends up in a sci-fi event resulting in "strange energy," which Commander Ransom inadvertently absorbs.

This was one heck of a season and "No Small Parts" was an amazing way to top it all off. This episode started off with a serious course of events and ended with lasting consequences. But of course we had a lot of laughs along the way.

​Follow along with us and queue up the episode. Get ready for our last Lower Decks commentary of the year!

No point in hiding it within the episode, we thought this was by far the best episode of the series yet. Such a beautiful and hilarious homage to the Star Trek movies. We can't wait to watch it with you. Prepare for Shakespeare as well as lens flares!

Queue up your episode and hit play when we tell you.

Listen while the crew of the Cerritos is put on trial.

​A lot of laughs to be had this week but even more interesting plot lines. What does Starfleet do with all the medical accident victims they can't fix in 42 minutes? Is Mariner inept or just lazy? What would you reprogram your dog's DNA?

​Terminal Provocations will make you grin ear to ear. There is so much to love in this new episode, but not everything works. It asks what it means to be Starfleet, and how does one get cheese out of fur?

​Boimler has a hot girlfriend and Mariner thinks the only explanation is foul play. Maybe she's a changling, a Suliban, or a holodeck character gone rogue. Whatever she is, this week's episode had a lot of laugh out loud moments.
