Star Trek Lower Decks: Shades Of Green

In this episode of Make It So, we discuss the release of the new episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Joined by Baz Greenland, we explore storytelling techniques in modern and legacy Star Trek shows, compare Lower Decks to Prodigy, and reflect on arc structures from series like DS9, Buffy, and Doctor Who.

We analyse the 'Shades of Green' episode, focusing on Tendi's storyline, her dynamic with her sister D'Erica, and the cultural tensions between Starfleet and Orion pirates.

We delve into Starfleet ideals, Tendi's character development, and the post-scarcity world concept.

The episode also highlights Boimler's leadership growth, his humorous mentoring attempts, and the challenges of balancing work and social life, with insights into Vulcan humour through T'Lynn.
