7 Ups & 1 Down For Star Trek: Lower Decks 5.10 - The New Next Generation

"All hands, brace for weird," ordered Captain Freeman, channelling her inner-Janeway as she took the Cerritos into the Schrödinger Possibility Field. Weird and wonderful — another duality — at the macro-level, the S-field could "completely [remap] matter into other possibilities from the multiverse". Like for the cat, that's a conceit Schrödinger himself might have had a hard time with. For us, however, it was a super way to see some ship-ly superpositions.

There's no time to nerd out about single nacelles (with apologies to the Freedom, the Hermes, the Saladin, the Archer, and the Kelvin). In the last push towards the dimensional rift, the Cerritos transformed into an Oberth-class, a Galaxy-class, and a Miranda-class.

Before all that, how could we forget, in Shaxs' delighted words, "We've gone all Sovereign-class" (with bridge). "I guess I'll have to take it," was Freeman's most excellent response. Fortunately, they still had the Cali-class nacelles, though they'd had the Sovereign type when they went all Terran.

That's most definitely not to forget one very special Sovereign in the line of its class. But who needs the Enterprise-E, trailing behind in any case, when you have the crew of the Cerritos! We had two of those for a moment, also, as quantum superpositions decoupled. 'Bifurcation' was a nod back to Dos Cerritos.
