The animated comedy, which focuses on a new group of low-level Starfleet members doing grunt work on an unimportant ship, threw in a few specific references per episode for the hardcore <em>Trek<\/em> fandom in its debut season, but the barrier to entry wasn\u2019t very high. As long as you knew the basic shape of what <em>Star Trek<\/em> was and is, you could enjoy the show just fine \u2013 even if a random allusion to an obscure character might sail over your head from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>In the first five episodes of season 2 that were provided to press for review, references to specific <em>Trek<\/em> tropes or lore become slightly more difficult to ignore, which may leave some non-<em>Trek<\/em>-conversant viewers feeling a little out of the loop. On the other hand, those references will surely delight longtime fans. At this point, the show seems comfortable with the calculus that if you liked the first season, you\u2019re either willing to put some time in to learning about the larger franchise or you\u2019re already a person who\u2019s in the bag for this stuff.<span id=\"more-691019\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-693938 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Lower-Decks-mom-and-daughter-700x392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Lower-Decks-mom-and-daughter.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Lower-Decks-mom-and-daughter-360x202.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Favorite_Ensigns_Are_Back\"><\/span>Your Favorite Ensigns Are Back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->Season 2 picks up with Mariner (<strong>Tawny <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>ome<\/strong>) feeling conflicted about working so closely with Captain Freeman (<strong>Dawnn Lewis<\/strong>), who everyone now knows is Mariner\u2019s mother. Mariner has always seen herself as a rebel, and these new episodes explore what it means when that rebellious, contentious relationship is replaced with one that\u2019s more open and collaborative. Mariner is also still miffed at Boimler (<strong>Jack Quaid<\/strong>) for taking a new gig on the U.S.S. Titan under the command of Riker (<strong>Jonathan Frakes<\/strong>). Although it seemed like Boimler\u2019s dream job, the inherently nervous and by-the-book ensign finds life on the Titan far more stressful than on the Cerritos. But fear not: if you\u2019re worried that the show\u2019s dynamic will be thrown out of whack by Boimler not being with his Cerritos pals, it doesn\u2019t take long for the show to come up with a creative way to get the gang back together.<\/p>\n<p>So far in the season, the least successful dynamic is between Rutherford (<strong>Eugene Cordero<\/strong>) and Tendi (<b>No\u00ebl<\/b> <strong>Wells<\/strong>), who have redeveloped their friendship after Rutherford\u2019s memory loss at the end of season 1. But it\u2019s clear Tendi has romantic feelings for Rutherford, and over the course of the first episode, she goes out of her way to foil his attempts to date other people in a way that feels desperate and a little pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Tendi gets more to do as the season continues: she goes on a \u201cgirl\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>\u201d mission with Mariner in which they learn they haven\u2019t actually spent much time together before, and in a subplot that feels incredibly relevant to what\u2019s h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening now with anti-vaxxers, Tendi is tasked with tracking down Cerritos crew members who have refused to get their physicals. Meanwhile, Rutherford discovers the horrifying truth behind how a character returns from the dead, as a way of humorously commenting on the <em>Trek<\/em> franchise\u2019s sometimes loose approach to the finality of death.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-693940 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Boimler-700x392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Boimler.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Boimler-360x202.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_Phasers_to_%E2%80%9CLaugh%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Set Phasers to \u201cLaugh\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to mischaracterize the reliance on references in season 2: it\u2019s not like the show is suddenly leaning so hard on them that it has become inaccessible. But if, for example, you have no idea who Tom Paris is, or you don\u2019t know the personal proclivities of William Riker, these episodes probably won\u2019t be nearly as funny to you. The comedy is still fast-paced and largely broad enough to work pretty well, and there are several non-reference-based gags that had me cracking up, like a low-level character named Stevens who is obsessed with Ransom (<strong>Jerry O\u2019Connell<\/strong>), or the presence of an alien race that duplicates when they\u2019re nervous.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->It\u2019s always difficult to review a show without seeing the full season and knowing how the character and story arcs play out, but so far,\u00a0<em>Lower Decks<\/em> season 2 remains a highly enjoyable way to \u201cengage\u201d with the <em>Star Trek<\/em> universe.
