'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Season 5 episode 6: Is there a demigod working in Starfleet?

Colorful cartoon characters in red jumpsuits walk through a brightly-lit spaceship interior walkway.

"Of Gods and Angles" may be the most representative episode title of "Lower Decks"' fifth season. Not only do the Cerritos crew cross paths with "Star Trek"'s answer to a deity, they also have to broker peace negotiations between two geometrically opposed alien races.

The Cubes and the Orbs are photonic species made of pure energy, but they're struggling to find common ground. The Orbs have demanded that Captain Freeman remove all straight edges from the ship (they find them offensive), while the Cubes have an issue with Article 10 of the treaty because the zero in the 10 is too round.
