It has been clear since last year: The 5th season of the animation series Star Trek: Lower Decks will initially be the last one to be produced for the Paramount+ streaming service.
Shortly before its final, the series proved again what it can do and combines five productions from the Star Trek universe. Attention, Spoilers for Lower Decks, Season 5, Episode 9:
The multiverse makes the six Star Trek crossover possible
The 9th and thus the penultimate episode of the 5th season is called The gap mission And leads us through countless parallel worlds. There is a reunion with Boimler’s transporter clone Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid), who gathered a colorful crew around him in an alternative universe – and these faces are impressive. They are partly one of the most popular Star Trek characters of all time, as Screening performs.
Surprise! As the first officer, the Vulcan T’Pol Back, which was there in all 4 seasons Star Trek: Enterprise. Both in the English original sound and in German dubbing, she sounds in the well -known original line -up, spoken by Jolene Blalock (in the German by Susanne von Medvey).
A reunion with three legendary characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
First the trill is sitting there Curzon Dax as a tactical officer on the bridge. As Captain Sisko’s mentor and landlord for the Dax icon, we know him as an ambassador of the Federation, now he swings in the animated version of Klingon-based weapons and passionately argues with his volcanic colleague.
A sugar -sweet highlight also awaits us Dr. Julian Bashir and Elim Garakwhose romance will finally come true in this episode. As Screen Rant reports, the couple has been a secret fan favorite for years and is now experiencing an animated happy ending. The Cardassian spy Garak is only married to a medical hologram version of his loved one. However, both are spoken, at least in English, by the original line-up (Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig).
Film and series combined in a Star Trek episode
Finally, two other actors also hatch: inside their smaller, but no less iconic roles. There would be once Lily Sloanewho worked in the film Star Trek: The first contact was still on the first warp drive and now unknowingly mixed up the multiverse with her crew.
And, in this article traditionally considered the last: The eternal Ensign Harry Kim From Star Trek: Voyager. In the Lower Decks version, too, he is still waiting for promotion, and at the same time in all parallel worlds. For both characters, both the Germans and the original voices return.
Lower Decks has already demonstrated a knack for successful crossover in the past.
With this nostalgic fireworks, the series now gives its fans a real gift before retiring.
