"Star Trek: Lower Decks" – CBS All Access Reminder: The Lighter Side of Starfleet Is Coming Soon
It's understandable why when people think of the Star Trek universe in 2020, they think action-packed, multi-layered, and full of drama, angst, and sorrow in between moments of beauty, grace, and understanding.
