Lower Decks season 5's premier is October 24, 2024.

In a November 3, 2023 interview, Mike McMahan said about LD season 5, "Yeah, there's some deep-cut Orion stuff. I would highly recommend if you wanna savor every tasting note of the beginning of next season, I would bone up on all the Orion episodes. Even the ones you don't think you need to watch."

I decided to go through every Star Trek episode and film in which Orions appeared, searching for potential LD season 5 references and easter eggs. I tagged those posts as #LowerDecksOrions. My first such post was on December 4, 2023.

I followed broadcast order, rather than timeline order, because the Orion backstory is built up in this way.

Now, I'm re-visiting those posts as we count down to season 5's premiere.
