In Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 3, ‘The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel,’ Lt. Brad Boimler’s hunt for AWOL Starfleet Admiral Milius (Toby Huss) involved skiing down a dangerous mountain. As Boimler plummeted, he grabbed the back of an alien skier and Bradward discovered he was holding the alien’s genitals. On his X account, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a researcher at Star Trek: Picardpointed out that Boimler’s joke is similar to Captain Kirk’s joke in Star Trek VI:

Captain Kirk got into a fight with a huge horned alien during his imprisonment on Rura Penthe in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Physically overcome, Kirk kicked the alien in the knees, which immediately sent the creature into agony. Martia explained to the confused Kirk that, “Not everyone keeps their genitals in the same place, Captain.” Star Trek: Lower Decks‘ Boimler offers a hilarious revisitation of this unmistakable fact. Some Star Trek the aliens’ genitals are where their knees are or on their backs.

Star Trek is finally able to create different types of aliens

The animation released Star Trek

Star TrekThe series’ vast circle of aliens, being essentially humanoids with different types of bumpy foreheads, has become a running joke over the decades. Star Trek: The Original Series was limited by the composition, technology, and budgets of the 1960s, and the franchise continued the tradition of most aliens being some variation of humanoid. However, Star Trek’s cinematic visual effects on Paramount+, rising budgets, and animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy allowed the existence of more exotic and non-human-looking aliens.

One of Lower Deck’s most memorable alien creations is Moopsy.

Star Trek: Lower Decks still features traditional aliens like Klingons, Cardassians, Ferengi, and Romulans, but it has also introduced more bizarre creatures like Clickets, Dooplers, Kromsapiods, and Drookmani, which are not necessarily bipeds of human size or shape. One of Lower decks The most memorable alien creation is Moopsy, a seemingly adorable little creature who savagely and relentlessly eats the bones of other species. Who knows where any of these aliens keep their genitals? Until now, Star Trek: Lower Decks not saying.
