    At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, fans got a first look at the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

    On Saturday, July 27, at SDCC 2024’s “Star Trek Universe” panel, featuring an exclusive conversation with cast members Tawny Newsome (who plays Beckett Mariner), Jack Quaid (plays Brad Boimler), Noël Wells (plays Tendi), and Jerry O’Connell (plays First Officer Jack Ransom), Paramount+ finally debuted the official teaser trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, the final season of its hit animated comedy series.

    DO be a Boimler, and check it out for yourself below:

    What will Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 be about?

    Like the previous seasons of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the fifth and final season will be 10 episodes long and sees our favorite U.S.S. Cerritos junior officers (Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford) tasked with closing space potholes, a.k.a. “subspace rifts causing chaos,” across the Alpha Quadrant—a task that would be a lot easier “if they didn’t also have to deal with an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries and scariest of all: their own career aspirations,” according to the official season 5 logline.

    When will the final season of Lower Decks premiere?

    At SDCC 2024 and via a press release, Paramount+ announced that Lower Decks’ fifth and final season will have a two-episode premiere on the streaming platform on Thursday, October 24, 2024, both in the U.S. and internationally. Following the premiere, new episodes of the season will be released on the service every Thursday until the series finale on Thursday, December 19.

    Who in the Cerritos crew is returning for season 5?

    The fan-favorite animated comedy series focuses on the support crew serving on the Cerritos, lovingly and mistakenly described as “one of Starfleet’s least important ships.” Once again, returning as the voice actors of our fave lower deckers are Tawny Newsome as Mariner, Jack Quaid as Boimler, Noël Wells as Tendi, and Eugene Cordero as Rutherford. Meanwhile, returning to voice the bridge crew are Dawnn Lewis as Captain Freeman, Jerry O’Connell as First Officer Jack Ransom, Fred Tatasciore as Lietenuent Shax, and Gillian Vigman as Doctor T’Ana.

  • Things We Saw Today: Please Cast Nicolas Cage in Star Trek!

    Things We Saw Today: Please Cast Nicolas Cage in Star Trek!

    [ad_1]

    Maybe 2023 is starting off on a good foot after all! Nicolas Cage gave an interview with Yahoo Entertainment reporter Kevin Polowy on Friday in which he shared some surprising news while discussing his new film The Old Way.

    Polowy mentioned he had heard rumors that Pedro Pascal was trying to recruit Cage to join the Star Wars family of television shows (and films) but Cage quickly jumped in and shut him down by revealing that he isn’t interested in Star Wars because… he’s a trekkie! That’s right! Apparently Cage is a diehard Star Trek fan and would only be interested in joining that long-running sci-fi franchise. To which I can only say, yes please! Who do we have to beg to make this happen! And also, can we please see him in full Klingon attire. That is my dearest wish.

    Meanwhile, more horrifyingly evil anti-drag and anti-trans legislation is trying to push its way forward in Arizona. The three bills propose defining “people dressing opposite of their biological sex at birth and exaggerating their gender” as “adult content.” And also say that these “acts” can only be performed at strip clubs and after 12 noon on Sundays. Anyone who violates these laws would end up with a criminal record. These laws are not only heinous but stupid and a flagrant violation of civil liberties.

    Basically, the only good thing to come out of the mess that was the House Speaker vote (er, votes) was Hakeem Jeffries’ speech accepting the torch from Nancy Pelosi. He took the GOP to school, and I mean literally! His clever and scathing speech went through the entire alphabet, from A to Z, letting the Republican congressmen have it! The library was open and they were read for filth. Now let’s see if he can put his money where his mouth is and actually stymy these bozos.

    Oh and one more Mike Rogers brawl meme for the road because I can’t stop laughing:

    On Reddit, the r/relationships subreddit stirred up some spicy holiday beef when a woman shared that her cousin gifted her OnlyFans link to the spouses and boyfriends of all of her relatives! When her family got upset her response was “it’s not sexual it’s just marketing.” Incredible stuff.

    And finally, it’s time to dive into the murky world of YA/romance novel Twitter. You may remember romance novelist Susan Meachen making headlines recently after she revealed that she had not in fact died (by suicide) two years earlier. Well here is her “apology.”

    Yes, you read that right. Not only did she not apologize, but she also claimed that faking her death was the same as writing a really great book! That she was just “creating a New Reality!” Honestly, this is one of the most delusional and hilarious double-downs I have ever seen. As Dril says “you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them” but you can laugh your ass off because this is pure gold.
