The first five episodes of Lower Decks 10 -episode fifth season see Lieutenants Junior Grade Mariner ( Tawny Newsome ), Boimler ( Jack Quaid ), Rutherford ( Eugene Cordero ), and T’Lyn ( Gabrielle Ruiz ) handling their lives on the second -lowest rung of the Starfleet career ladder with aplomb.

The series is bowing out with a lot of that renewed strength it gained last season .

But it’s also doing so by reminding us of an important lesson for any Starfleet officer: change is reinforced by remembering your fundamentals.

Star Trek: Lower Decks fifth and final season will begin streaming with a two -episode premiere on Paramount+ next Thursday, October 26 .

In many ways, it is still the fun, goofy riff on Trek that we fell in love when it first began, but it's grown and matured since then that even at its weakest, it still tries to say something earnest and sincere not just about this universe it admires being a part of.
