There's so much more to running a starship than simply making it so on the bridge. Like its namesake The Next Generation episode, Star Trek: Lower Decks shifts the focus away from the Picards, Siskos, and Janeways of this world to concentrate on the junior officers who are more traditionally background players – or even phaser fodder – in other branches of the Star Trek universe.
And season 4 is set to take that even further, thanks to an episode in the animated show's second season. "Our season 2 episode 'wej Duj' gave us a glimpse of the lower decks of other [Vulcan, Klingon and even Borg] ships," supervising director Barry J. Kelly tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on the cover.
"This season we’re getting a little taste of other species’ lower deckers, with new ships and fun attitudes from the crews serving under their superiors. Some lower deckers have big aspirations, and for others it’s just a day job in space. 'wej Duj' is definitely an inspiration for this season, starting from the first episode. Viewers will pick up that something bigger is going on in the background of the show. I can’t wait for viewers to see what we did – it really changed up the season in a fun way."
