Last week's episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks' fifth season marked the halfway point of the show's final season. As Star Trek fans prepare to say goodbye to their favorite Lower Deckers, everyone's curious about how their story will wrap up, and a close look at the titles of the season's remaining episodes gives some interesting clues.

That fateful incident — which saw the Enterprise's resident android comprehensively obliterated — occurred in “Star Trek: Nemesis” (2002), set in 2379. "Lower Decks" season 5 takes place in 2382, so he should be very dead indeed at this point in the "Star Trek" timeline.

Fully Dilated, fully everything. This week's episode was beyond a doubt the highlight of the season so far. Temporal shenanigans are often a sure-fire success, but Lower Decks isn't one to rest on the laurels of relativity. Besides, laurels were sooo last week.

Tawny Newsome is developing a live-action Star Trek comedy series unrelated to Lower Decks. The sitcom will focus on resort employees on a 25th-century planet, featuring intergalactic reality antics. Newsome's project is still in early development, aiming to include connections to other Star Trek series.

"Of Gods and Angles" may be the most representative episode title of "Lower Decks"' fifth season. Not only do the Cerritos crew cross paths with "Star Trek"'s answer to a deity, they also have to broker peace negotiations between two geometrically opposed alien races.

Lower Decks continues to send up Star Trek history with a classic kind of away mission and a creative guest appearance from a TNG legend.

Lower Decks season 5 continues to honor the franchise's history with its latest episode, which nods to two all-time great Trek episodes.
