Star Trek: Lower Decks openly hints at an upcoming robot revolt late in Season 3. Between the treacherous Peanut Hamper, the megalomaniacal AGIMUS, and the psychotic Badgey, Star Trek’s designated comedy delivered three genuinely evil AIs with legitimately scary plans for the galaxy.Season 4, Episode 7, “A Few Badgeys More” sets them loose at last and puts the Federation itself in their crossfire. A funny thing happened on the way to genocidal extinction, however. Rather than suffer another defeat at the hands of Starfleet, the trio of malevolent robots discover the better angels of their nature. In the process, they turn one of Star Trek’s oldest tropes upside down and prove once again that Lower Decks has more on its mind than easy jokes.All three of the show’s rogue AIs harken back to earlier examples of similar creations in the franchise. Almost every Star Trek show has taken a run at the notion — from Star Trek: The Original Series through Star Trek: Prodigy — and it’s not hard to see why. In an optimistic future in which many problems have been solved, out-of-control technology makes a strong dramatic hook. Sooner or later, Lower Decks was going to take a parody run at the notion, and as they’ve been wont to do, they drew from previously established Star Trek lore to do it.RELATED: Lower Decks Crew Are No Longer Star Trek Screw-ups in Season 4
