Screener Squad: Star Trek: Lower Decks – The Final Season

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 Review

STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS – THE FINAL SEASON REVIEW

Every journey begins with a first step and every voyage of a starship ends with a final frontier.  Paramount presents the final season of the Starfleet crew on the California Class USS Cerritos on the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks.  A lot has happened across the universe for a crew over the past 4 seasons.  Actions have created ripples that have affected the lives of entire civilizations.  This season, their choices won’t just determine the future of this universe.  The trendy and never tiresome multiverse is now at stake.  Things aren’t all grim and gloomy however.  The show may be a star trek fan-gasm of easter-eggs, references, trivia, and reverence to a beloved IP but it’s also a comedy.  Ensign Boimler (Jack Quaid) is back at trying to be his best self. Mariner Beckett (Tawny Newsome) is taking baby steps towards being a better team player and leader though leaving behind her reckless inhibitions.  Tendi (Nöel Wells) answers the call of her people, the Orion, to satisfy an oath.  Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) balances his humanity with the efficiency of performing a routine job he finds himself growing bored of without his science buddy Tendi. The Vulcan T’Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz) continues to be in Mariners words, Vulcan AF.  Bradly, Harmoni, and Jordan dread the final curtain drawing closed on one of their favorite shows of the 21st Century.  Jordan and Harmoni banter about their fav trekkie moments reaching across all series and call for a better tomorrow while Bradly remembers that Jerry O’Connell was in Jerry Maguire.

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.

 

 

Jordan Cobb (Screener Squad)

Born with a comic book in one hand, a camera in the other, and in front of the television as WrestleMania played out, Jordan Worth Cobb was thus birthed into this crazy world. A Digital Filmmaking major from the University of Central Arkansas, Jordan has done it all in film from directing, writing, editing, and producing in addition to skills involved in film and TV criticism, journalism, and years of podcasting experience. On any given day, her ADHD riddled brain bounces focus from film to pro wrestling to TV to superheroes to noir to video games to espionage and yes, even to sports. She played little league you know. For more of this eccentric nerd, you can follow her on Twitter here and read her original writings on Deepest Corners of My Notebook.

 

 

Harmoni Anderson (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Unstabletop Gaming)

Harmoni is a mermaid-haired, millennial, rum drinking, Section 31, Slytherin (who’s divorced J.K. Rowling) preschool/nursery teacher and multi genre geek who also loves all things film, tv, fashion, makeup, and an embarrassingly huge BTS stan. Like really embarrassing. As in, mention them and then sit back and watch the insanity. Harmoni likes being able to game and talk movies/TV with people that aren’t 3 feet tall or all that demanding of her. Plus she can curse at us and not get fired….so bonus!
