Star Trek: Lower Decks resurrects the grapplers from Star Trek: Enterprise and the love for them continues in the 24th century.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 brought back the funniest tech from Scott Bakula's Star Trek: Enterprise era. Lower Decks season 4, episode 7, "A Few Badgeys More," saw the return of the malevolent Badgey , who was bent on revenge on his "father," Lieutenant Samanthan Rutherford , and the USS Cerritos.
Star Trek: Enterprise took place in the 22nd century, two hundred years before Star Trek: Lower Decks. But by virtue of being the first Starship Enterprise to explore the galaxy in what Lt. Brad Boimler feels was "the golden age of exploration," Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the NX-01 Enterprise hold a legendary status.
The NX-01 Enterprise's grapplers were a touch-and-go technology in the era before Starfleet had tractor beams. In Star Trek: Enterprise's premiere episode, "Broken Bow," the grapplers worked as intended. But later on in Enterprise season 1, the primitive grapplers failed when they were needed to rescue a shuttlepod containing Lt. Malcolm Reed and Ensign Travis Mayweather from the icy crevice of a comet.
Grapplers Were A Great Strange New Worlds Crossover Joke Star Trek: Strange New Worlds hilariously brought Star Trek: Enterprise's grapplers back into the conversation. In Strange New Worlds' crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks, Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh surprised everyone when she suddenly admitted, "I love grapplers.
Grapplers are a fun throwback Star Trek tech, sort of the franchise's version of Doctor Octopus' arms. Grapplers are more tactile than tractor beams, and their occasional malfunctions created story opportunities in Star Trek: Enterprise as well as opportunities for comedy as in Star Trek: Lower Decks. Why Lt. Rutherford insists on installing a grappler on one of the USS Cerritos' shuttlecrafts isn't clear, and he even admits the shuttle "doesn't need" grapplers.
