SEPTEMBER 21, 2O22 - Star Trek ia rife with characters’ brains being commandeered. Remember when Data took over the Enterprise because of a command from Dr. Soong in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Brothers”? Or when Khan used a pair of space slugs to ensure Chekov and Captain Terrell’s obedience in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? Or what about when nearly the entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine crew’s personalities changed, thanks to some pesky telepathic imprints in “Dramatis Personae”?

Well, this week on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Ruthurford, like many a Trek character before him, battles for control of his mind in “Reflections”. Meanwhile, Mariner and Boimler work the Starfleet booth at an alien job fair. But can Mariner be trusted with the task? And what does it take to get under Boimler’s skin?

The answers will all be revealed when the episode is released on Thursday, September 22, on Paramount+.
