Streaming on Paramount Plus and Coming to Home Video on April 16, 2024
Although I wasn’t fully hooked on Star Trek Lower Decks right away, it’s found a place in my viewing schedule after seeing the Strange New Worlds episode, “Those Old Scientists.” To see the Jack Quaid reprise the role in live action was enough to earn my respect for the sci-fi comedy.
And because of that, I’ll have plenty ot catch-up viewing to do. Fans who have been picking up each season as they are released will be happy season four is coming to home video this week! While some folks will be sad that the upcoming season five will be the last of the series, I’m secretly glad because that means a complete set will most likely be offered next year, to which I can obtain the entire run in one go.
From the Press Release:
This 2-Disc collection includes every episode and features guest stars Jack McBrayer (“30 Rock”), Andy Richter (“Late Night with Conan O’Brien”), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), and more! It seems the latter is getting to relive his days on other starships as part of the mysterious time-space bending group known as The Travelers. It’s rumoured he’s going to appear in the next season of Prodigy, and if so, I’d be curious to what their role is in the overall universe.
Only time will tell if a new series will address their role. But in the meantime, I can add the home video release to my library as I work through the past seasons and simply enjoy a lighter side of what defines Star Trek.
