You can go watch it right now.

If you’re a Paramount Plus subscriber, you can go watch Boimler of Lower Decks geek out over the cast of Strange New Worlds right now.

    Boimler is ambitious but kind of clumsy and awkward and stickler for rules (despite the boimler rule). Mariner is basically Ferris Bueller with the mouth of a sailor until her friends/family are in danger and then she’s MacGuyver/007. (I also just realized I’m dating myself a lot of those references and I hope they still work.) The show is definitely written by fans of star trek that also are comfortable enough to poke fun at the source material.

    Edit: that’s probably enough to enjoy it, but I haven’t seen it yet so don’t know if they reference any lower decks story arcs heavily.

      Let me help you out: Boimler is a Feliz, and Mariner is an Oscar.

      Now can someone explain all four LD characters based on their M* A* S* H counterparts? I want to make the joke but I’m literally not old enough to.
