A routine mission goes awry on ‘Strange Energies’
There a good amount of Star Trek shows out there these days. Some continue the adventures of a beloved captain, while others tell new stories fans have never heard before. Yet none of these shows are like Star Trek: Lower Decks. It is an animated show that takes viewers on some pretty wild adventures. I wasn’t that surprised when this hilarious show got a season 2. I was able to get a screener for ‘Strange Energies’ and here is what I thought of it.

Commander Ransom gets blasted by some mysterious energy and it causes him to get some strange powers. The captain needs to come up with a solution fast before Ransom destroys the whole ship. While this is going on Tendi fears something is wrong with Rutherford and goes to extremes to try and make him better.
