Star Trek: Lower Decks animator/director Barry Kelly teased that fans could expect plenty of Easter Eggs in season four of the hit Paramount+ show. That may be a slight change of course for this inviting series, as it's relied on its relatively self-contained and wonderfully executed episodic format for some time. Still, these new elements now give Lower Decks an opportunity to further root itself into Star Trek lore and create a legacy of its own. It’s one thing to become a successful adult-animated comedy in the Star Trek universe, and quite another to become a series that offers plenty of creative opportunities for engaging future story arcs, whether that be in animated or live-action form. Either way, season four delights.
