10 Things We Want To See In Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5

Lower Decks' third season closed with the revelation that Boimler, Tendi, Mariner, and T'lynn were getting promotions. Rutherford would follow, but there were rather a lot of shiny new pips on those collars as the fourth season began. 

Going into a fifth season, this is something we're a little divided on. It would be lovely to see our favourite officers advancing in their fields, receiving that recognition that they deserve, but the show is called Star Trek: LOWER Decks - might it defeat the purpose to promote them any further?

Part of the charm of these characters is that they're not the top brass, nor are they likely to become top brass in the foreseeable future (more on that in a moment). They are, however, incredibly skilled at what they do - so seeing them expand their roles while remaining lower deckers would be, in our minds at least, an essential element for the show to finish on.
