There was a unbroken story arc all through the present season of “Decrease Decks” whereby alien vessels — out doing their very own private galactic enterprise far-off from the usS. Cerritos — are attacked by a mysterious white UFO geared up with a ship-destroying phaser weapon. Already, Trekkies have seen the destruction of a number of starships, together with a Klingon vessel beforehand seen within the episode “wej Duj” (October 7, 2021). This kind of multi-episode story arc is a brand new wrinkle for “Decrease Decks,” a collection that aspired to be episodic within the custom of “Star Trek: The Subsequent Technology.” Kelly famous the novelty of this construction, and the way it’s — excitingly — bringing loss of life to the present in a brand new approach. In a current interview with Inverse, he mentioned:
“We actually attempt to homage TNG in being extra episodic. […] That means, that the through-line of our episodes is basically simply the characters’ development and improvement. However yeah, this time there is a new thriller through-line, and we’re attending to see two issues taking place in every episode. There’s this new overhanging menace. This ship confirmed up and destroyed a Klingon ship. Who is that this? It isn’t Starfleet. It is some bizarre organic-shaped pearl-looking ship and we do not what that’s, or what alien made that.”
To this point, that mysterious UFO has blown up a Klingon ship, a Romulan ship, and an Orion ship. The sample is already clear, and Kelly notes that viewers are being warned to not get too hooked up to the characters within the UFO segments. “You will rapidly be taught,” he mentioned, “after the primary episode, possibly after the second, you may be like, uh-oh, our new victims.”
