Uhura And Mariner Conversation - Crossover Episode | Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02E07

[@Timeward76]

Mariner knowing the starfleet codes front to back so she knows exactly how to break, abuse and take advantage of them is just so... her.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

You're not wrong

[@utubrGaming]

Underneath her maverick too-cool-for-school exterior, she was head of her Academy cohort, first to be expected Captain, AND she is a Starfleet Brat. Also probable Dominion War veteran and one of the kids raised on the D. And she secretly loves the warp core.

[@targetseeker]

@@utubrGaming hopefully the show lasts long enough to explain what exactly happened to make her go from extremely promising cadet to present Mariner.

[@smackarel7]

​@@targetseekerPopular theory is that she is a Dominion War Vet (served on ds9 around the time it broke out) so probably something that happened during the war.

[@targetseeker]

@@smackarel7 was the war ongoing when her friend got killed by that shapeshifter? She was still cheerful at that point. So it was between that and prior to the start of the series when her attitude adjusted.

[@benwasserman8223]

You can imagine Mariner thinking "Oh my god she's female Boimler. I need to fix this problem ASAP."

[@bemasaberwyn55]

How very......Mariner

[@purplerose244]

absolutely xD

[@Fletchman1313]

I love the fact that eventually she translated it to "This is a Time Portal".

[@ragzzytv]

that is also a so much Naussican thing to do

[@ThePathStrider]

@@ragzzytv I'm not sure building a time portal is in a Naussicans wheelhouse, so either they had some kind of societal collapse before Human's started getting robbed by them, or they just found it, pissed on it, and claimed it was theirs.

"You are actively imparing your abilities by working to exhaustion." is a lesson so many overachievers need to learn

[@myriadmediamusings]

Ugh man story of my life.

[@poitter82]

She's a Lower Decker through and through.

[@Synthonym]

I wished we could have seen more of Ortegas and Mariner being chaotic

[@eshel9886]

Perfectly sums up mariners character

[@KenshiImmortalWolf]

It also sums up Mariner really well.

[@GuukanKitsune]

I love the implication that Boimler and Mariner's PASSIVE influence on the Enterprise crew helped shape them into the heroes they became. Uhura in TOS was very dedicated to her work and job but wholly knew how and when to cut back, relax, and have fun, and was all the more competent and effective at her job for it... and this scene implies she learned that from MARINER, in this scene, at this bar, when the few minutes Mariner insisted she take lead her to relax and caused her mind to clear and spot what she hadn't been able to when she was agitated. Mariner helped MAKE the hero she idolized, and that is awesome.

[@joshythehand2960]

And let's not forget.. in the books at least.. uhurus legacy is as great or perhapse greater than kirk or spock when it comes to the grand scheme of things. She becomes one of the greatest admirals in starfleet history. Overhauling starfleet security from the ground up. And becomes one of the most famed Admirals in history. . Her decisions and career have massive effects felt throughout the federation. She would be to starfleet history what someone like Admiral Nimitz would be to Americam naval history.

[@bthsr7113]

It's not the text of the scene, but I can feel how much it means to these actresses. The role of Uhura paved the way for many in the real world.

[@Dularr]

The storyline reflects that. The actress playing TOS Uhura considered leaving the show.

[@SpartanSniper3]

Not even just as a character. Ms Nichols was a recruiter for NASA and worked a lot with the NAACP. She inspired and literally built the future for so many people. I was fortunate to see her at Emerald City Comicon. She told great stories about her time working on the show and how great it was. Pretty sure you can find it on KZbin, but her meeting MLK is a hilarious story. If you dig a bit more, you might find the one where she talks about the kissing scene with Shatner and how they basically tricked the network to show the first interracial kiss on TV. That woman was a delight and lived such an interesting life.

[@harvey2906]

The best crossover since Sisko's Defiant visited the era of TOS. I like these crossovers. It's a great opportunity for Sci Fi comedy. 🖖

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Agreed

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

Yep this is basically the modern trek vers of the trials and tribble ep back in the 90's era. :)

It seems like creators have finally realised that using humour is the best means to bridge these series together.

@@carlzerris6566 It's a of my favorite episodes of Star Trek.🖖

[@ImpendingJoker]

When I was in the Army, I did not want to go to the promotion board to become an NCO(was happy as 'lower decks'). They forced me to go anyway and told me that if I didn't study that the only person that would look foolish was me. So, I did. I studied the regs inside and out, and just like Mariner, I learned I could pretty much get away with murder if done the right way. I never got promoted and I made my command staff's lives a living hell for the next 1 1/2 years before I got out. They didn't like my sunglasses one day, so I whipped out AR-670-1 and recited it from memory to the First Sergeant. The final part states that they cannot be worn if "deemed faddish by the commanding officer". So I asked him, "What's the Old Man doing right now?" The 1SG instantly wanted to drop the whole thing but I was like, "Oh no no no. You called me out on it, let's go find out." I took them off and handed them to our Captain (O-3) and he looked at me and asked, "What's up?" "Sir", I said, "Do you think these look faddish to you?" He said, "No. Why?" I took them from him(they were also prescription which the reg also allows for), looked at the 1SG, smirked at him and said, "No reason, sir, thank you", and walked out. They forced me to learn the rules and I used them against them at EVERY opportunity. It was the biggest mistake they ever made, to arm me with knowledge. That was 23 years ago, and I still think about it and laugh to this day about it. haha

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Spite is a bottomless well from which to draw motivation and this is the finest example I have seen in some time. Very well done.

[@Valiran9]

Of all the myriad forms revenge may take, malicious compliance is one of the sweetest.

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

It's always good to know the Regs. My dad (a CW-2) found that out when an overbearing Capt. tried to order him into a formation he didn't belong in, per the regs. The argument between them caught the attention of the CO Col. and ended with the Captain getting chewed out by the Col for trying to break regulations.

[@teto85]

"Malicous compliance." I love it.

[@miketess3358]

haha good story.

[@LGranthamsHeir]

0:30 - 0:44 Admire how Mariner gave clues about Uhura's future without technically breaking the Temporal Prime Directive 🖖🖖

[@EditDeath]

Ties in with her ability to use Star Fleet protocol to get out of work. She knows exactly what to say and do to not get in major trouble while still doing what she wants

[@LGranthamsHeir]

3:07 Uhura: "What's Dom-jot??" Mariner: "Oh, is this billiard game that Nausicaans are terrible off but like to bet off for some reasons?" Thanks goodness Boimler wasn't there and told the group how a future legendary Starfleet captain lost his heart after beating a Nausicaan in a Dom-jot game 😉

[@pendrake40]

1.) [1:31] *_"You know Starfleet Codes?"_** --* It is important to remember... Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) was literally born into Starfleet life ( [Boimler]: _"Your mom's a Captain, and your dad's an Admiral. You're basically Starfleet royalty.";_ from *[LD 1x10 - "No Small Parts"]* ), and raised in it. So despite Mariner's outward rebellious attitude towards the rules, Mariner does know all Starfleet protocols and regulations by heart. Even Mariner's body language (stance) changes when Mariner's goes into _'rules mode';_ great subtle detail(s) like that help deliver/enhance the scene. 2.) [2:54] *_"What's 'Dom-Jot'..?"_** --* This is also why you take breaks with friends, because you never know when alternative eyes/perspectives may offer insight (Ortegas) and explanation (Mariner) from their own experiences. *;)* Thanks for uploading this, *Star Trek Friendly.* :)

[@JKSSubstandard]

Not just born into it. In the episode where her classmates are the replacement captain, they say that Mariner was top of her class and expected to be the first from the class to the captains chair, which is why her friend was disappointed to find her still an ensign. So she 100% knows the books front to back

[@pendrake40]

@@JKSSubstandard -- Correct, from *[LD 1x07 - "Much Ado About Boimler"],* with Captain Amina Ramsey (USS Oakland), voiced by the lovely and talented *_Toks Olagundoye._* Thus the _"raised in it"_ (Starfleet life) portion of my Reply-comment too. *;)* It will probably/eventually be completely revealed what happened to change Mariner from the straight-laced _'Starfleet brat'_ of Mariner's youth (pre-Cerritos), to the pseudo-rebel Mariner is today (LD-era). But the LD writers have been smart/wise in doing so slowly across the LD-series, rather than cramming everything into an _'Origin Story'_ episode.

You would think she would rise through the ranks and want her own command someday boemolier does but she slacks off and fucks up a lot by the time shes picards age she will be a lieutenant ROFLMAO

[@jish55]

Always love Mariner, and her knowing all the codes makes total sense (cause let's face it, with her personality, she needs to learn this shit so she can break the rules without getting kicked out on top of being the daughter of a captain and Admiral).

I like the Way Uhura handled this slightly vague info about her future, that she will become this incredible badass space adventure. Instead of it being mine blowing to her, she feels very surreal and confused about it. It's hard to appreciate who you'll be in the future, when right now you're just a nobody. It's like she was describing someone else to her. (and in a meta sense, she is.)

[@thegrimmretails3777]

I had seen Jack before, so I knew he'd bring his A-game here. But Tawney brought the whole fucking alphabet with and some numbers with her on this performance and just made herself a Star Trek legend.

[@joda7697]

[@Victor-bl2ge]

Pretty sure that the talk btween mariner and uhuara was addressed to Nichele Nichols

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Tawney Newsom who voices Mariner and lower decks and plays her live-action here is a huge Trek fan. Apparently it's a running gag where her and Jack Quaid will take a look at their scripts for lower decks start geeking out in front of Mike McMahn and Mike will start assigning reading assignments to the other cast members on which episode station watch in order to get the references for the episode that they're recording for. And she has made no secret that the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Nichelle Nichols are huge personal Heroes of hers. So the dialogue is basically layered with the subtext of the characters across 122 years interacting, the actress interacting with a character that she has admired for as long as she's been a fan of the franchise, and one actor who stepped into a legendary role literally last year interacting with someone who has been within this family for slightly longer but they are both fairly new to the franchise as they were both hired as part of this era. The meta text of this episode is SO RICH

The crazy part: Why don't they teach that anymore in the 23rd century. that's common knowledge in university and the professors urged us to also always plan in breaks into our projects.
