That explained why Olly is wearing the ancient Greece band on her head because she's a demi-goddess.

[@Jpew2007]

There’s a scene earlier that I hope gets uploaded to KZbin. Where Mariner points out the “leaf headband thing” is a big giveaway.

[@georgeghleung]

They actually mentioned about Demigod right in the beginning (but they just thought she doesn't have power). The laurel are immovable constructs, closer to horns.

[@zomfragger]

She isn't wearing it. The olive branch crown is part of her head. She described as a bio luminescent organ.

[@finnmchugh99]

​@georgeghleung Or like a Halo in a way... essentially it's just intangible or tethered physically

[@benrussell-gough1201]

Remember the TOS series with a member of the same species - Apollo. He said that they *needed* worship on a certain level. Now, Becky Freeman isn't even remotely religious, but maybe the secret is that she *believes* in Olly. Same thing, different method.

[@spencerkoelle184]

I love that the lightning bolts are floppy. It's those little touches. .

[@eleonorabilokin983]

Oh my god. I just got that her name is Olly, as in Olympia.

[@melissac7081]

Ack! You're right! I thought it was a reference to the last part of Apollo!

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

0:56 More inspiring and supportive Mariner. Love to see it.

[@alternative915]

She like Algae too

[@summertime6785]

1:23 Poor Boimler.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

Coulda been worse. Coulda been... eh, probably best not to go there.

[@gregnulik1975]

At least Olly is one of those people you don't have to warn against putting her finger in a power outlet.

[@foofoo3344]

Unless she can drain the whole city of power or explode a lot of electrical devices through the socket

[@jaquanmiller2526]

Whoa, demigod powers are really cool.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

You seem surprised.

[@kcawks8585]

Low key thought we about to see the Koala again.

[@DamienAlexander-Ducroix]

Ensign Olly's powers aren't a game-breaker. Blasting things with lightning powers isn't exactly in demand when it comes to Starfleet.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

Well, no need for a phaser that way.

[@SlideIX]

@@MatthewJamesKalaskydoesn’t look like she can control it yet, probably more of a hail Mary of last resort rather than an effective alternative to actual weaponry. Hell Boimler got hit by friendly fire, thank Zeus it was more debilitating than lethal 😅

[@DestinedDeath703]

To be truthful these bolts look more like sponges

[@zomfragger]

True but her ability to absorb and redirect energy would a serious boon.

[@benrussell-gough1201]

She's also a walking replicator and precision-scale tractor beam. I'm wondering if the Ceritos is going to have to get used to Olly providing her friends with 'miracles' on occasion.

[@filmfocusmind]

It’s rare to see a character I share a name with in the shows I watch, but a character I share a name with and can relate to? Amazing! Olly is great! (Even if I spell my name with an ‘ie’)

[@alphanum001]

Marnier?

[@zygas25]

Okay. So trekkies of youtube, I ask this question, starfleet allows gods to join? And im guessing the same applies to those with superpowers?

[@paulwartenberg8479]

she said she hid her origins. Starfleet is pretty bad with background checks.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

I'm pretty sure they'll take anyone who either A) is a citizen of the Federation, or B) is sponsored by one.

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

I mean, at least two different Qs have served as Starfleet crew members, albeit both very briefly

[@leondyer3855]

I mean, there are entire species of telepathic and empathic aliens in the Vulcans and the betazoids, and we even see members of a species whose known to produce mind-altering pheromones allowed into Starfleet with Dvana tendi, so a Starfleet officer with some flavor of energy manipulation isn't that weird.

[@benrussell-gough1201]

Starfleet lets just about *anyone* join and, I think, that Kirk may have left a note for future generations of Starfleet leadership, regretting his having to kill Apollo and asking them to just give one of his people a chance, if they opportunity arose.

[@furionmax7824]

By why the lightning bolts come out all plushie looking?

[@Millstone1985]

Because she is like a quarter-goddess, maybe less.

[@paulwartenberg8479]

because Paramount wants more plushie gifts for the Holidays! Can't keep relying on Moopsy dolls!

[@1993digifan]

Olly is at best 1/4-Olympian, powers likely thin out after each generation.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

Right up main street!

[@SiXiam]

Carlos!

[@lobotomydoctor2226]

I'm sorry the Greek gods exist in Star Trek?

[@eleonorabilokin983]

A lot of things exist in Star trek

[@robbiegarber898]

Actually yes, the first episode featuring one was in TOS in which Apollo tried to keep the crew of the Enterprise as captive worshippers. The concept seemed to be they had in fact helped civilization develop on Earth and other planets, but then most of them left and ascended.

[@spencerkoelle184]

TOS episode Who Mourns for Adonis.

[@benrussell-gough1201]

Yep. TOS "Who Mourns for Adonis?" - They are revealed to be psionic creatures who absorbed 'worship' and used the energy to create 'miracles'. I suspect that Mariner's belief in Olly as a person worked as 'worship' for her needs.

[@Dave102693]

That’s what I wanna know

[@ethantay4630]

Star Trek and Percy Jackson?

[@RickRichard-s6t]

Was it Zeus or Apollo?
