TV review: 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' will have you beaming (up) with glee


Too late, Rutherford realised he should not have skipped the the James T. Kirk holotutorial on Gorn encounters in Starfleet Academy.

Not being a huge fan of present-day incarnations of Star Trek, I was looking forward to Lower Decks with all the enthusiasm of a Borg-assimilated starship captain about to unleash mass slaughter upon his Starfleet comrades at Wolf 359. (The Borg side of me wouldn't care, while the suppressed human side would be screaming in soundless anguish.)

A plan to work "lowest dreck" into the copy had already half-formed in my mind when I reached for the remote to begin the first episode of this animated series.
