Lower Decks 1x07: Much Ado About Boimler previews, and other series updates

This week's seventh episode of Lower Decks is Much Ado About Boimler, which as ever CBS have previewed with a trailer and stills. Check them out below, plus other updates from the series.

Here's the blurb for the new episode:

Mariner tries to impress her best friend from Starfleet Academy who is now a visiting Captain. Boimler is sent to a Starfleet medical ship after a transporter accident puts him “out of phase.”

And here's the trailer, via Nación Trek's YouTube upload (also on StarTrek.com if you prefer):



And here are the stills. This week we get a whole bunch of new characters, in the form of the crew of Mariner's Captain friend Amina Ramsey (voiced by Toks Olagundoye), pictured here with Lt. Ottessa Warren (Vanessa Marshall), Lt. Drew Prachett (Maurice LaMarche), and Lt. Durga (Jennifer Hale):

There's also a bunch of images of Boimler's transporter incident:

And Tendi with "The Dog", which is voiced by Jennifer Hale as well.

Here also are the command crew gone commando!

Another preview clip from this episode can be seen in the latest episode of The Ready Room, which also has a behind the scenes featurette on the process for the series, and interviews with the voices of all the ensigns, Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, and Eugene Cordero. (also on StarTrek.com, Instagram, or Facebook if you prefer):



For more behind the scenes, Mike McMahan is back with his latest Easter Eggs video, looking at last week's Terminal Provocations (also on Instagram):



And there's some social media images related to that episode too. Here's Tendi's latest episodic selfie:

And some helpful tips from Badgey:

There's also the usual sweet of post release extra images, with a focus on Badgey as well:

And a couple of clips too:






Finally, from Titmouse Stuff, the latest in the weekly T-shirt series, which of course also features Badgey. Modelled by Fletcher this week:

Uh oh! Tensions are rising over who gets to salvage some abandoned Starfleet space trash. Diplomacy may not be an opon this me. Well, maybe it's me to address some core problems -- literally. But don't worry! In Starfleet, technology is your friend! Meet Badgey, your Happy Holodeck Helper, your Adorably Affable Avatar!
