Star Trek: Every Two-Parter Ranked From WORST To BEST

11. Fissure Quest, The New Next Generation

T'Pol, Garashir, CURZON Dax, Harry Kim, or rather, Harrys Kim, all under the command of William Boimler on a Defiant-class ship. What more could you ask for? Oh, yeah! Only Lily flippin' Sloane!

The first half of the series finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks (yes, we are counting it) was more than mere cameos and guest stars for the sake of it. Fissure Quest was a bona fide brilliant story — traversing the multiverse in search of the bad guys who turned out to be the good guys who hadn't quite thought things through. Its cliffhanger was as hilarious as we'd come to expect, and more than a touch climactic — "Holy f**k! We're all gonna die!"

As follow-up, and conclusion to five seasons, The New Next Generation was extremely satisfying. The gate at Starbase 80, or Starbase 80 at the gate, was, in itself, the possible set-up for what could be an intriguing spin-off series across the multiverse. We're still hoping for more from Lower Decks in some form, now with a new captain, and two provisional first officers.
