Star Trek: Lower Decks S2, E9 – “wej Duj”
Vulcans! Klingons! Pakleds! Oh my!!
“Lower Decks” skips the cold opening to spends more time on the story. Good choice because this week’s action-pack episode is told across three different ships. I guess the title was a clue. We learn how the other lower deckers live and get to see Klingon ambition or Vulcan ingenuity are rewarded. Continue reading Star Trek: Lower Decks S2, E9 – “wej Duj”
