This week brings us the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks’ second season, and we’ve got a new set of images from the honorable “wej Duj” today!
That’s right: while other episodes have included words from the guttural Klingon language, this story is the first Star Trek adventure to be entirely in tlhIngan Hol — a phrase which translates to “Three Ships” in Federation Standard.
During this week’s new episode, Ensign Boimler (Jack Quaid) tries getting chummy with Commander Ransom (Jerry O’Connell) to help build a connection with the senior officer as part of his self-promotion strategy. While he’s trying to get noticed, the rest of the Cerritos crew gets to explore their passions during some extra off-duty hours between missions.
Here are six new images from this week’s episode, featuring Boimler in Captain Kirk’s camping outfit (and Spock’s rocket boots) from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Captain Freeman wearing a “RITOS” shirt emulating the “DISCO” shirts worn on Star Trek: Discovery.
Though there isn’t anything Klingon-related in the synopsis, teaser, or preview images from this week’s episode, we did spot this Klingon in the Lower Decks Season 2 mid-season trailer which may be a scene from this week’s episode.
Finally, here’s the trailer for the episode, released yesterday on social media:
