      There is only one character I've seen with a similar transition from enthusiastic to jaded. He's Gort Holy from "Martian Successor Nadesico". Throughout the entire series he never smiles once! But in the first episode, when he's recruited, you see his constant, grim expression. Then for second you'll see a photograph of him back when he was still a happy cadet.

      Usually when they take a character off screen long term it's usually due to an IRL emergency. I've seen it happen before.
      That's what happened to the security chief in the Orville they took her off the cast bc I do believe she was having a family emergency.
      Im just saying. If Tendi is completely gone for more than three episodes next season the actress is more than likely dealing with some stuff.

    You can tell how charming Locarno is and how he’s got Nova Squad thinking this plan is in their best interest when, in reality, he only wants to take this risk for him. I’ve known a few Locarnos in my life and, believe me, they’re capable of making you think they’re your best friend but screw you over if it’ll benefit them.

    If fan-service is well done and works well, then I'm in.
    And using Sito's death as a reason for Mariner's self-sabotaging behavior fits pretty well.
    I also like that we finally get to see Joshua Albert, the cadet who died during the Kolvoord Starburst maneuver.
    There's just one thing which might be a minor continuity goof:
    When Sito stood up for herself to Picard in "Lower Decks", she mentioned she didn't have any friends at the academy after the events of "The First Duty".
    Meaning either Sito exaggerated or Mariner also turned her back on her and wasn't completely honest about it with Ma'ah.
    Also, I've noticed that one member of Nova Squadron Jean Hajar is absent in this sequence.

    • @MMuraseofSandvich
      @MMuraseofSandvich ปีที่แล้ว +33

      _Meaning either Sito exaggerated or Mariner also turned her back on her and wasn't completely honest about it with Ma'ah._
      If Mariner was every bit the Boimler she was in this scene, she was likely peer-pressured into turning her back on Sito and Wesley with the full cooperation of the faculty and command staff. That can mess people up, as we've seen what happened to Sito and Wesley. It could be yet another regret among the pile of regrets in Mariner's past that she's still running from, and it could be why she's decided "screw protocol/peer pressure, I'm doing what I want" in season 1.
      Also makes the penultimate episode in season 3 all the more poignant. Mariner went through exactly what Sito went through, only Mariner didn't do anything wrong or remotely offensive. No wonder she resigned as soon as she was reassigned.

    • @GSBarlev
      @GSBarlev ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Yeah, this is my exact take as well. I don't think Mariner turned her back, because then the guilt over that would be eating at her.
      It's likely the truth exists somewhere in the middle: Beckett's hero worship likely didn't feel like "friendship" to Jaxa, who also probably kept her at arm's length anyway just due to the differences in their age.
      What I want to know is why Beckett never mentions Wesley-they would have ended up in the same graduating class, and they both grew up on the _D._

    • @Roreck86

    Seeing comments pointing out that Mariner is likely 30+ at this point. I will remind that the Federation has a much higher life expectancy for people than they do in real life right now. That middle age is considered 50 until 90, then you are considered 'old. Life expectancy is between 130 to 150 as of the TNG era as far as I recall. So while she is in her 30s, she's still "young" by their measure.

      I think the reason she is so much older than the other Lower Deckers is because she's moved from ship-to-ship and has been promoted/demoted a number of times. That's the reason she's so much more knowledgeable that the others. I suspect that if she hadn't repeatedly self-sabotaged she might have worked her way up to be a Captain by now.

    Hearing Shannon Fill's voice, almost 20 years after leaving acting. It really hits you and as Spock once said: "There are always possibilities"
    It's just a stranger than fiction sort of thing...where Fill talked about how nervous she was in Lower Decks, to now...a series named after that episode and her return. I wonder if she felt as if life was coming full circle.
    Not many of us have such an opportunity, so seeing someone have such an opportunity, happy for her.
    I always felt Sito's death in Lower Decks to be an afterthought and trivialized...also for Picard to be so irresponsible in giving an ensign such a dangerous mission. This is about as close to 'righting a wrong' as we will ever get.

    I wish Hajar could have been there (looked like her at a distance running off before getting close to the group). That said, this scene feels a little too wink/nudge since the audience is essentially familiar with where this is going. Frankly, it would have been better if it took place before Locarno proposed the Kolvoord Starburst maneuver so we could really see this group without anything clandestine hovering around them that makes Wesley or Josh nervous or bothered. Might better show how Nick was a huge cult of personality to the squad that could lead the other 4 to such immoral behavior. After all, if we see them as all good friends, it makes it that much stronger to believe that there is guilt and remorse when you get to _TNG: “The First Duty”_ over the loss of one of their own and equally the fact they have no one to blame but themselves for not wanting to be the turd in the punch bowl because they were so arrogantly blinded by Nick’s charm that they could pull it off and just went along.

From the beginning a big part of Mariner's story is that she is very reckless and over the seasons they've given us hints about why she is that way. This episode is culmination of that story.
      The reason Mariner tends to pop up in many places is because she's had five assignments before this one which lead her to have a great deal of experience.
