Star Trek quandaries are most provocative when they illustrate a solid "What if?" scenario.
Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 10 offers renegade miscreant Nick Locarno up as a "What if?" foil to Mariner, embodying a potential future Beckett where rage and ego have derailed skill and talent.
Meanwhile, Tendi must live out the "What if?" of her returning to her family of pirates because the needs of the many outweigh her dream of being a Starfleet scientist.
This season finale does what Lower Decks has always done well, building a fast-paced action comedy on the foundation of Star Trek canon.
At this point, it's pretty meta, as much of the canon it references is its own.
I'll admit that this season has managed to subvert many of my expectations.

It's heartbreaking to think of all the movies that never made it to the screen. We keep hearing stories of projects collecting dust, incomplete due to unexpected tragedy, or a lack of funds, or a greedy studio executive cutting corners for tax purposes. But every now and then, a long-dead film is exhumed from the grave and is given new life to be enjoyed by a new generation of fans. Case in point: The Primevals, a fantasy adventure more than 50 years in the making that finally got to celebrate its world premiere at this year's Fantasia Film Festival.
The Primevals was first conceived in 1967 by stop motion animator David Allen, whose credits include the adult parody Flesh Gordon, Larry Cohen's Q – the Winged Serpent, and Alex Winter's Freaked. For more than a decade, an early draft of the script was shopped around to various studios, until 1978 when...

Plot: After the frozen body of Yeti is discovered, confirming their existence, a group from the University studying it heads to the Nepal wilderness and uncovers the findings of a lifetime.
Review: My heart will always have a special place for the ingenuity and cleverness of Charles Band’s Full Moon Features. Famous for being one of the first independent companies to enter the home video market, focusing on creating weird cult B-movies with shoestring budgets and charm. Full Moon has a particular vibe that we all love, focusing on the horror and sci-fi genre through the lens of a dignified yet schlocky level of adventure. Band’s movies have a light sense of optimism and humor, even in his darkest tales, but The Primevals is a perfect example of the whimsical exploration flicks he was producing in the early to mid-’90s.
Created by the late great David Allen,...
