Leans Progressive
Primary
The series consistently upholds and celebrates the foundational progressive ideals of the Star Trek universe, such as diversity, diplomacy, scientific exploration, and a post-scarcity society, even while satirizing its bureaucratic elements.
Star Trek: Lower Decks showcases a visibly diverse cast, consistent with the franchise's inclusive spirit, featuring a wide array of characters from different backgrounds and species. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive stance towards traditional identities, focusing on comedic storytelling and character-driven humor rather than explicit critiques of identity.
Secondary
The show features openly pansexual characters like Ensign Mariner, whose past same-sex relationship with Jennifer Sh'reyan is explicitly acknowledged and treated as a normal part of her history. These depictions are integrated seamlessly into the narrative, presenting LGBTQ+ identities with dignity and without mockery or sensationalism, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal within the diverse Starfleet setting.
Star Trek: Lower Decks does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate regarding its impact on transsexual representation, resulting in an N/A rating.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Star Trek: Lower Decks primarily features new, original characters. Legacy characters from previous Star Trek series who appear maintain their established canonical genders, often voiced by their original actors. No character established as one gender in prior canon is portrayed as a different gender.
Star Trek: Lower Decks features an original main cast created for the series, and therefore, these characters do not have prior canonical racial depictions to be swapped from. Legacy characters appearing in cameos maintain their established races.
