Star Trek: 18 Easter Eggs In The Lower Decks Season Two Trailer
4. Pakleds Go
The Titan takes on the Pakleds in a rematch after last season's battle in "No Small Parts".
As in the Lower Decks first season finale, the Pakled ship is a combination of their original vessel seen in the aliens' debut in TNG's "The Samaritan Snare", beefed up with additional components taken from other starships. Creator Mike McMahan hinted at the Pakeld's return in an interview with Ketwolski last year and this trailer indicates that they're still a major thorn in the side of Captain Riker and his crew.
Speaking of Riker's crew, while we've known Boimler would be joining the ranks of the Titan, this trailer gives us a few glimpses of the rest of his crew mates, now including a new green alien first officer (instead of the Saurian officer seen last season). Notably absent from the trailer is Marina Sirtis' Counselor Deanna Troi, whose return McMahan was cagey about in the aforementioned interview.
