You Won't Believe the Lower Decks Series Finale TWIST!

[@cosmeticscameo8277]

THIS finale makes the cerritos crew the greatest crew in the trek verse surpassing all other past crews. wild.

[@bullzdawguk]

I am disappointed the series has ended. There was so much left to explore, especially as far as character development is concerned. In particular, T'Lyn. She is without a doubt my favourite Vulcan in all the Star Trek universe! On the surface, she was a typical Vulcan. As her character developed, she showed unconventional Vulcan traits, especially a sense of humour. Although it's not obviously apparent, she showed us precisely why she was transferred to Star Fleet by the Vulcans. I LOVE T'Lyn!

[@Casual_Sadism]

I’m glad Picard wasn’t in it as it would have overshadowed the whole episode. It’ll be like “These Are The Voyages…” all over again.

[@kevintran5901]

Though at this point, Picard would’ve already been promoted to Admiral, would be busy negotiating with the Romulans with their evacuation. So Worf would most likely be the Enterprise-E’s Captain

[@cloker375]

Yea I was thinking like in Enterprise finale how much criticism was placed on throwing TNG into it. You didn't need Picard and it was all about the Lower Decks cast as it should be.

[@Sci-Finatics]

There is no concrete date that handover happened. All we know is that happened at the time of the Romulan evac/relocation. Which is around 2382-2384. And that's the same time as Season 5 LDS. So its conceivable the end of Season 5 LDS is just before Picard leaves the Enterprise E.

[@Yibambe.]

I’m glad there were no cameos from Picard or Riker. Their presence would’ve distracted from a story that was meant to celebrate the Cerritos and its crew

[@Sci-Finatics]

I think a brief cameo would have validated and cemented the Cerritos crew as up there among the best of Starfleet. A nice icing on the cake.

[@edkwon]

I can't believe Ensign Ollie (demigod) was charging up to do a Kamehameha during the climax showdown with the Klingons 😂

[@tjane5272]

This felt so much like the setup for a Starbase 80 - New frontiers Series.😊

[@ncisfandom3742]

Wouldn't Worf have already been in command of the Enterprise E at this point

[@doubt3430]

Yeah

[@Sci-Finatics]

I dont think we have an exact date on this. All we know is that sometime after Star Trek Nemesis, at the time of the Romulan evac and relocation Picard was promoted to Admiral, left the Ent-E in the hands of Captain Worf to go command the Odyssey.

@EMItilIdie engage the "core muscles" engage the "warp core." But also, in story telling, engage the "core fan." Another subtle moment of brillance from Lower Decks.

[@EMItilIdie]

@@chadmacgargle5311 I got the joke

[@AlbertMark-nb9zo]

The "brothers" were obviously the guys that were in the Ma'ah stories. The "lower decks" Klingon captain that wanted to start a war using the packleds and the Klingon on the board that stood in the way of Ma'ah's return to captaincy. They were both brothers and it's obvious that Relga was the sister.

[@susansokoloski2233]

If the TNG crew showed up at the end it would have destroyed the entire honoring of the LD series and crew in this very last episode of the series. In fact, it would have been nearly as destructive and dishonoring of the series as "These Are The Voyages" was to Enterprise. So grateful they focused ONLY on the Certios crew and skipped any more cameos, which they fully celebrated in e9. True trekkies would have been disgusted. A very good season finale and series finale and wrap up. Lots of sadness that the series is over. Engaging episode with tears of appreciation provided at the end. Basically all significant characters of the series (yay, no Peanut Hamper!) Were brought back to wrap up 5 seasons of adventures. Bravo. 👏💔😪🖖

[@PDohm123]

I am saddened that this series is over. It should've gotten 7 seasons. It was that good.

[@Sci-Finatics]

I agree 7 seasons would have been good, but I just dont think the viewership was there in the last couple of seasons. There are still a lot of people out there that refuse to watch animation because "thats only for kids"

[@jgvillan01]

I am OK, just seeing the Enterprise E, and didn't really have to see Riker or Picard there. Just knowing we see the E before it get's destroyed in Prodigy was just a treat. Remember, it's not about the Enterprise, it is all about the Cerritos. This is their moment to shine. I hope we get more adventures from the Cerritos. Technically, yes....shouldn't be called Lower Decks anymore, as the main cast are no longer lower deckers. 😊

[@edkwon]

wait, when was it established the destruction of the Enterprise E happened in Prodigy?

[@jacebales2951]

@@edkwon dude, who knows? Nowadays you have to keep up with every little silly minor detail that's ever mentioned in some offshoot comic or some fringe tv show, apparently. It's a hassle.

[@temparalflux914]

This Episode made me have an emotional response.

[@daveknight8410]

Merry Christmas to all. Bring back lower Decks.

[@finnigan16]

Throughout the series they'd make the occasional gag that "If this were a real emergency they'd send the Enterprise". The line about the Enterprise being en route is a pay-off to those jokes and serves the story by telling the viewer that Starfleet recognizes the threat, but help is simply too far away. The previous episode leading into this one was all about fun cameos. this one needed to highlight the Cerritos crew. So I'm glad we didn't get a Picard drop in. Additionally, we know that Picard has already been promoted to Admiral by now (The Stars At Night), and wouldn't be in command of the Enterprise. It'd likely be Worf as captain at this point.

[@Gery1214]

The high stakes, humor, character development, resolution, and audacity of hope make this one of the best Star Trek finales in history.

[@seskalarafey9285]

Perhaps no Picard or Riker screentime for not take the fame away from Lower decks. Also my catchphrase to Engage Warp Speed would be perhaps "Let's Jump!"

[@TheAdam159]

McMahan knows better than to have the finale dominated by guest stars like Ent. The episode was all about our Cerritos crew. Episode nine was our fan service episode

[@KCKingdomCreateGreatTrekAgain]

Having Picard ON SCREEN would have been too much but they could have had Shax read a message from Picard maybe.

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

I definately going to missed Star Trek lower decks Series because it's the second animated Serious with hilarious comedy that makes us laught and I'm happy to see a very few wish lists have came true before the Series comes to the end.

[@javiercarrasco3042]

Just seeing the E there was good for me. But wouldn’t it had been nice to see the Enterprise get damage there with Worf as Captain?. And get an explanation of why it was damaged beyond repair😂

[@chadmacgargle5311]

@@javiercarrasco3042 I feel like @sci_finatics is right, if you mention a gun the gun goes off and the Enterprize is Star Treks biggest gun. It was nice to at least see the E bur some cameo would have "engaged the core" a bit more.

[@markabele8794]

I'm sure the reasons Steward and Franks weren't in this episode was part of the cost to pay them, and like other comments before me, they would overshadow the rest of the cast. Availability may have also been a factor as well.

[@PDohm123]

Given that Frakes has done a cameo in Star Trek: Lower Decks at least twice before, this comment is illogical.

[@greenstaraz]

He is hooked on Picard

They landed it, it was a bit tripped up by studio canceling it, so the episodes running into the finale, although great were a bit out of place, taken as whole over the whole though the episode, it nailed it, no legacy characters, make it about the main universe eponymous lower deckers was the right call. a fantastic wrap. of one of the most memorable series of the fanchise.

[@Exaris79]

There's already an existing multiversal gateway network found by the USS Discovery's spore drive with access to the Multiversal Nexus. If you go by the comics&novels, Kirk's Enterprise has 4 or 5 methods of travelling the multiverse just that they need a way to navigate it.

[@jwiese100]

I hope we get more Maah and Malor in the future those two are great together

[@tjane5272]

I think T'Lyn's and Tendi's science besti move was a reference to Dragonball Z fusions like Gogeta. 🤔 Also the first Klingon captain might have changed to a Disco version Klingon (which felt hilarious and kinda creepy 😂)

Picard is an admiral at this point. Worf wouldve been in command of the E

[@trevorwhite915]

I thought this was a brilliant episode and agree with others they was no need to have others cameo in this episode, that was done in the last episode. This episode was about our crew and in typical Star Trek fashion THEM saving the universe. We had so many Easter Eggs in this episode as it was. It was the perfect ending for the series yet leaving it open for a couple of possibilities for sequels. I feel this isn’t the last we will see of them or animated Star Trek.

[@gozcubukcu1]

I expect a new series for the middle decks or upper decks.

[@julianbashir8277]

It would not have been Picard on the Enterprise E it would have been captain Worf. We should have gotten that. What kind of fan are you?

[@nigelstockley7011]

you kept mentioning how disappointed you were that there wasnt a Picard cameo and yet personally It never occurred to me that there should or would have been. I disagree that it was needed I dont feel it was and we had enough cameos last episode detracting from the crew. I was surprised at the season as a whole, and although this was a barnstorming finale it seemed like too little too late to make up for the previous lacklustre episodes. We must be careful with fan expectations as when they dont happen we mustn't get disappointed! The one thing I was almost expecting to happen was the reverse of 'those old scientists' from SNW where at the end the crew were depicted in animation form.... I was expecting the Cerritos crew to be shown in live action - or at least just Boimler and Mariner and somehow leading the way for the characters to continue to appear in other Trek shows in their live action versions..... but that didnt happen. Imagine Live action B&M ending Lower Decks messing about and being transported through another portal and ending up in the far future in Starfleet Academy.... im sure they would make a fun addition to that show and keep the memory of Lower Decks alive at the same time.

[@jacebales2951]

Chekhov's gun. You don't mention the Enterprise in dialogue and then not have it pay off later. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Sci-Finatics]

I guess I felt like why name drop the Enterprise multiple times and show it parked next to the Cerritos at the end if you arent going to feature a cameo? That seemed like a cruel tease. They should not have done that as it sets up an expectation that isnt paid off.

[@diakritika]

Chekhov's Gunterprise? ;)

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

I'm sad that Lower Decks have come to an end. But I'm in for Starbase 80 show, I want a Starbase 80 show.

I thought that might have been the new Tawny Newsome comedy, set on that starbase, before it was confirmed to be a Risa or Risa-type location.

[@Winterfur1]

Technically the captain of enterprise could have been worf. From a comment in Picard season 3 worf is captain of enterprise for a while.

[@Sci-Finatics]

I think the timeline at the end of lower decks probably would have been just before Picard left and handed the keys to Worf.

[@travelswithsi8932]

I'm glad Riker and Picard were not in it, that would completely de-value the crew and series as a whole. It would be like them patronising patting on their back saying 'look at you, you did well'. They are the Cerritos crew, they stand on their own.

[@grahamcann1761]

I most humbly, respectfully, disagree. I don't think this is the last episode, I think it's the start of a break. Or as a friend of mine put it better, "I won't give it an obituary, but I'll raise a glass to toast!" I know a lot of people (right or wrong) were worried the Enterprise, and maybe some Next Gen crew, would have a cameo and take away from the ending. (Like happened in the final episode of "Enterprise".) The most wonderful thing I take away from the shows, is how I can talk and share with so many folks about Trek. I am constantly surprised how many people watch and appreciate Trek, and even when there are a wide variety of views and disagreements (like who's the best Captain), it's possible to disagree with warm feelings and a smile. As always, thank you so very much for the videos.

such a good series. hard to belive this got me into being a trekkie when it cameout. i already liked the Navy and i love learning about ships so seeing this as a navy show set in space hooked me! now i gotta wait for strange new worlds to end so i can watch the original show since i spoil it for myself and know how to ends for Captain Pike and i dont want to spoil it anymore that i have too. But i do hope this isnt the end, that warner bros CEO sucks i hope hes gone in 2025 so the show can get picked up again and keep it going

[@Scratchkot]

I am just curious how they'II explain that they didn't use this rift to bring help in Prodigy and Picard. also, I find it disapointing that T'Lyn and T'Pol did not interact, since they both were in the series. After all,they're both some rebious Vulcans.

[@jameswg13]

Gave me a feeling the rift was to only one alternate universe potentially not multiple

@@jameswg13 But they could have still used it to bring reinformcements. Like more unlinked ships in Picards Season 3. They'd better have a good explanation for that.

2:20 I went over to Cameo website after you said this. Those are around 20 seconds. Johnny Frakes is $300, Spiner is $299. Patrick Stewart is not on there at all but that’s how I would have done that because you know he’s not accepting no Jolene Blalock pennys. The episode itself was “edging”. I wasn’t counting so I thought we had 1 or 2 more. It was a great 3rd season “Growing the beard” episode but a real “Meh” fest of a finale and only 30 minutes? Geez guys! Left a lot of questions that a cartoon would leave open. I loved this series but it could have had more effort applied. I guess it was good if I wanted more. We need our own “Clone Wars” so grown men like me can curl up in our man caves with a bowl of…something on Saturday morning and get that kid feeling. I gotta remember to cancel P+ TODAY!
