There's so much more to running a starship than simply making it so on the bridge. Like its namesake The Next Generation episode, Star Trek: Lower Decks shifts the focus away from the Picards, Siskos, and Janeways of this world to concentrate on the junior officers who are more traditionally background players – or even phaser fodder – in other branches of the Star Trek universe.
And season 4 is set to take that even further, thanks to an episode in the animated show's second season. "Our season 2 episode 'wej Duj' gave us a glimpse of the lower decks of other [Vulcan, Klingon and even Borg] ships," supervising director Barry J. Kelly tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on the cover.
"This season we’re getting a little taste of other species’ lower deckers, with new ships and fun attitudes from the crews serving under their superiors. Some lower deckers have big aspirations, and for others it’s just a day job in space. 'wej Duj' is definitely an inspiration for this season, starting from the first episode. Viewers will pick up that something bigger is going on in the background of the show. I can’t wait for viewers to see what we did – it really changed up the season in a fun way."
The first two episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 arrive on Paramount Plus on September 7, with subsequent episodes releasing every Thursday. In the meantime, check out our picks of the other best new TV shows on the way in 2023 and beyond.

The second season of Foundation starts slow. That makes sense: The initial few episodes are forced to pick up the pieces of the first season’s scattered finale, introduce half a dozen new characters, and set the stage for a whole new story set more than a hundred years after the first season.
There’s an old joke about 4X games that goes something like this: after you spend several hours on YouTube watching tutorials, you get to fumble your way through a playthrough with a vague idea of what you’re doing before you inevitably make some fatal mistake you don’t recognize until much, much later. Then you restart and do a little better. Star Trek: Infinite isn’t interested in re-inventing the galactic wheel - this is a 4X game’s 4X game - but it does do a good job of bringing Trek into the space that publisher Paradox Interactive has boldly charted over the years.
Star Trek does not have a long history of being funny, but it has its moments. The original series’ “The Trouble with Tribbles” saw Gene Roddenberry’s social commentary take a light-hearted swerve, and future generations were more than happy to dip back in (see: DS9’s “Trials and Tribble-ations.”) Thanks to the godly powers of Q, The Next Generation crew found a reason to dress up in Robin Hood attire for the delightful romp “Qpid.” Lower Decks was born from the obvious potential of Trek stories being able to poke fun at themselves while sprinkling in the catnip of Easter eggs.

Viewers of are wondering how many episodes are in the series and when each new episode comes out. The romance drama revolves around Han Jun Hee, who is still mourning the death of her boyfriend when she transcends time and space to her high school, where she is met with a striking resemblance to her boyfriend.
Paradox have announced that Star Trek: Infinite is coming out on October 12th. Infinite’s previous trailers already made it look like a "Stellaris in a different version of space" affair - which is by no means an unfavourable comparison - and the latest footage shows off more grand strategy shenanigans. Planet management. Lotsa menus. Expanding factions, sometimes peacefully if you prefer a clear conscience.

Every nerd who lived through the 1990s has got a favourite Star Trek series. For me it’s the more morally ambiguous story arcs of Deep Space Nine, for others it could be the strong female leads of Voyager, but for most it will surely be The Next Generation. This was Star Trek’s return to TV screens in the late 80s, defining the look, feel and storytelling style of the decade of television that followed it, and with plenty of iconic episodes and moments. Whichever show you prefer, Star Trek: Infinite more than caters to 90s Trekkies.
