This will be the first Star Trek animated series aimed at children.

The Star Trek Panel Released Footage From Star Trek: Lower Decks


The Star Trek panel also released the opening scenes from Star Trek: Lower Decks, introducing the concept of "Second Contact." Where First Contact is the cautious, careful establishment of a relationship between the Federation and a new race, Second Contact is simply about filling in all the necessarily paperwork. The crew of the USS Cerritos are far more suited to Second Contact, however little they like to admit it; the clip shows two members of the crew preparing for Second Contact in their own ways, which involve copious amounts of (illegal) alcohol and an accident with a Klingon bat'leh.

Oscar Isaac Is Working On His Own Graphic Novel


Oscar Isaac revealed he's working on a new graphic novel, Head Wounds: Sparrow, which will be published next year.
