Some Lower Decks fan art in honour of the announcement that this fall's Season 5 will be the last. Here's hoping they get a renewal elsewhere or at least some sort of follow-up.

I’m gonna miss this lot so much.

I hope we see them again.

Boimler every time something goes wrong on the USS Cerritos so pretty much daily ig

[smartsmears]

I can only imagine the version of this show where Shaxs stayed dead and we missed out on 4 seasons of arguably the best member of the bridge crew. Just think about the classic moments we wouldn't have gotten with him.

Say thank you Shaxs for coming back from the Black Mountain.

You know why Boimler's weird death-faking clone sent that cosmic wave at us? Because he knew we kick ass. And not just the five of us. The whole Cerritos crew is stacked with amazing officers. Yeah, there's a lot of ships in the fleet which are bigger, fancier, they have engineering sections that are attached to the main part of the ship. And honestly, those crews are way more professional. Hey, I should know, I've been kicked out of half of 'em. But this thing we do doesn't require perfection. We're explorers. We live for the unknown. You can't prepare for that. Nobody on the Cerritos is even close to perfect. We're a mishmash of people and various creatures that don't fit in anywhere else. But we're a family. That's why I love it here. We believe in the mission and in each other. My mom might be gone, but she handpicked this crew. Which is why I know we're going to be okay. This isn't the end of a story, it's a beginning. We're gonna make her proud.

There’s gonna be tons of jokes circulating Starfleet about how the Cerritos needs two officers for every job. Two science officers, two first officers. If they promote Rutherford to co-Chief Engineer the whole gang will be part of the redundancy.

How to enter the neutral zone without entering the neutral zone.

[the-crooked-library]

one thing that i truly appreciate about Lower Decks is their consistent dedication to the classic Star Trek story balance:

A-plot: Lieutenant Shaxs is wrestling a psychic manifestation of his rage and trauma on the astral plane. Dr. T'Ana is experimenting with her own pain thresholds to better understand anesthetics. "you defeated me, but can you stand your own against dozens of Cardassian warriors?" "they were not warriors! they were occupiers!" exploration of guilt, PTSD. social commentary. how much do we really know about the limits of a living body?..

B-plot: Ensign Barnes is still part cavewoman but she's having her sousaphone recital 🕺💃 there are space cow armadillos in the hangar bay licking asteroids 😑 mpreg tentacle ensign has invited Captain Freeman to their fertility ceremony 🥰

It's been a long road...

[sherdnerd]

The look on his face. The exasperation in his voice. EMH has met the Cerritos crew, and lives to regret it

Chapel: So in the future you can use holograms to simulate anything or anyone?

Boimler: Yeah! I’ve already met the important figures on this ship several times.

Mariner: One time I vented my emotions by simulating the entire crew of the Cerritos and killing them off one by one. It was oddly therapeutic.

(awkward pause)

Ortegas: That’s fuckin’ cool.

Chapel: NO IT’S NOT
