The trailer for season five ofStar Trek: Lower Decksgoes hard into celebrating the series final episodes.

It even recreates a trailer forStar Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the last adventure ofThe Original Seriescrew.

As Mariner says in the trailer, We havent even cracked our second quadrant!

More than just a standard knowing joke, Mariners observation reveals the actual hopes ofLower Deckscreator Mike McMahan.

In fact, McMahan said as much during theLower Deckspanel at San Diego Comic-Con.

Furthermore, McMahan urges fans to Watch the hell out of the show when it airs.

Look what you did forProdigy, Kurtzman reminded them; do it again.

Kurtzman and McMahan arent just indulging in some wishful thinking with an auditorium filled with fans.

Theres a long history of fans gettingStar Trekback after a cancellation.

Fan demands helped hype upNetflixpicking up the show and releasing a second season.

Long before that,TOSwas canceled after two seasons.

That franchise, of course, ended withStar Trek VI.

For that reason,Lower Decksisnt just making a deep lore reference when they spoof it in their trailer.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season Five visits its final frontier on Paramount+ on October 24, 2024.
