You’ve heard about “first contact,” but “Star Trek: Lower Decks” centers on those who make “second contact.” Hey, someone has to make sure the planet’s name is spelled correctly, find out where to eat and fill out all that paperwork.
During San Diego Comic-Con@Home Thursday, “Star Trek” dropped the opening scene for its animated “Lower Decks,” which features a very sad attempt at a Captain’s Log.
“Star Trek: Lower Decks” hits CBS All-Access Aug. 6. Watch the scene above.
The animated series follows four ensigns — Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi — who are assigned to the lower decks of the USS Cerritos, one of the least important ships in Starfleet.
