Under the bridge

摘要

WHEN Star Trek: Lower Decks first premiered in the US last August, it presented a perspective we had rarely seen within the Star Trek universe. While we had traditionally focused on the "upstairs" bridge crew boldly going where no one had gone before, Lower Decks turned its sharp eye towards the "downstairs": the workers responsible for the least glamorous tasks on the ship. That it was an animated half-hour comedy further set it apart from what had come before, signalling that we should prepare ourselves for an entirely new kind of Star Trek.
