Star Trek: Lower Decks “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” Review

In this episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, An Embarrassment of Dooplers, the show introduces an alien that duplicates based on his emotional reactions, proving problematic for the Cerritos. Also, the lack of an invite to an “elite” Starfleet party won’t stop the duo of Becky and Boimler from attending.
