[THIS VIDEO WAS UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE, SEPT. 21, 2020.]

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
#StarTrek #LowerDecks
[PART 2 of 3] Picking up from Part 1, old school Trekkie, Moonjumper, continues his fair review of "Star Trek: Lower Decks'" first five episodes, with a focus on Episode 3, "Temporal Edict." Showrunner Mike McMahan bravely bucks the "woke" tropes of modern sci-fi with a hilarious episode that brazenly flips the "Mary Sue" trope on its head. Moonjumper examines how this animated comedy sharply contrasts itself from the mistakes of "Star Trek: Discovery."
