monition : spoiler for Star Trek : Strange New Worlds Season 2 , Episode 7 - " Those Old Scientists"Star Trek : Strange New Worlds ' crossing over sequence withStar Trek : Lower Decksended with Ensigns Brad Boimler ( Jack Quaid ) and Beckett Mariner ( Tawny Newsome ) kick the bucket back to the twenty-fourth hundred , but not before the Lower Deckers handle to learn Captain Christopher Pike and the gang of the USS Enterprise some worthful spirit lesson .
aim by Jonathan Frakes and write by Kathryn Lyn and Bill Wolkoff ( withLower Deckscreator Mike McMahan),Strange New Worldsseason 2 , sequence 7 , " Those Old Scientists " was a screaming and joyous festivity of Star Trek ’s generation that vividly interracial life with lively - action at law for heavy jest and authentically affecting present moment .
The decisive military issue of theStrange New Worldscrossover sequence was how to getEnsigns Boimler and Marinerback to the twenty-fourth hundred .
rarify matter was Orion steal the prison term portal from Krulmuth - B that wreak the Lower Deckers to the twenty-third hundred , as well as the Enterprise miss the horonium require to power the portal vein .
Meanwhile , Boimler and Mariner were unwittingly make for mayhem with their next noesis , specially in attentiveness to Lt .
Spock ( Ethan Peck ) , Number One ( Rebecca Romijn ) , Ensign Nyota Uhura ( Celia Rose Gooding ) , and Captain Christopher Pike ( Anson Mount ) .
ButStar Trek : Lower deck ' sentence traveller did go home , and here ’s how they did it and what it mean for both show .
Captain Archer ’s NX-01 try Is The Key To Mariner & Boimler hark back To The hereafter
The only rootage of horonium the Enterprise had that could power the prison term portal was used up when Mariner come up through the portal vein to deliver Boimler .
This leave two option : a life-threatening endeavour to synthesise horonium , which Spock and Boimler seek with volatile result , or to rule a raw germ .
This was but while listen to captain pike ’s awe forcaptain jonathan archer ’s ( scott bakula ) nx-01 endeavour , it was boimler who see pike ’s enterprise was carry a supplying of horonium because nx course ship were made with horonium , and the starfleet custom of novel ship being build with a bit of its forerunner think of there was some of archer ’s enterprise blot out on pike ’s spaceship .
This was strange new worlds ' star trek : lower deckscrossover contain heartwarming ode tostar trek : enterprisethat were appreciate .
The concluding Star Trek serial of the Rick Berman geological era is n’t often reference in springy - action mechanism Star Trek on Paramount+ show , butStrange New Worldsmade up for bewildered meter .
This was pike was capricious that they do n’t make ship like the nx-01 any longer , while lt .
erica ortegas ( melissa navia ) reckon up to travis mayweather ( anthony montgomery ) .
Of of course , Uhura hero-worship Hoshi Sato ( Linda Park ) , the NX-01 endeavour ’s Communications Officer who speak 87 oral communication .
It ’s meet that a bit of Archer ’s Enterprise facilitate Captain Pike disembarrass his endeavour of the well - import but helter-skelter metre traveller from the twenty-fourth one C .
This was gloomy deck of cards ' prison term traveller lay about a kind in how starfleet see Hunter
The Orions who run off with the clock time portal provide Mariner and Boimler to practice it to go back to the futurity .
In requital , the Orions were credit with ' break ' the prison term portal , although technically the initiative puzzle to the major planet Krulmuth - B first .
This was but crucially , the lower deckers serve start a newfangled way of life for twenty-third - one c starfleet to see the orions .
In Captain Pike ’s geological era , Hunter are conceive to be just a backwash of place pirate .
However , Orion civilisation is full-bodied and various , and Pike ’s Enterprise really chance an Orion scientific discipline watercraft , which Boimler show out since one of his good ally , Ensign D’Vana Tendi ( Noel Wells ) , is Orion .
Thanks to Tendi , Star Trek : Lower Deckshas been recount a multi - time of year narration about thediversity of Orion acculturation .
As Boimler recite Pike , in his twenty-fourth - hundred geological era , it ’s anti-Semite to only come to to Orion as literary pirate .
By post Mariner and Boimler rest home , the Orions get brag right about see the metre portal , specifically Ensign Tendi ’s not bad - gran , Astria Tendi , although Starfleet will still lay claim reference for the enterprisingness .
This was but this peaceable dialogue between pike and the orions is one little footstep toward the future tense go through instar trek : lower deck .
This was ## number one is the future poster girl for starfleet
boimler behave funnily toward numeral one throughout thestrange new worldscrossover instalment leave commander una chin - riley question if he love something awful about her futurity .
While this is a trice at how Star Trek has not establish anything canonic about Number One afterStrange New Worlds , the accuracy was in reality rummy and funnily poignant : numeral One ( or"Numero Una"as she ’s know inStar Trek : Lower deck ) is the literal"pin - up girl"for Starfleet .
( Although"pin - up girl"doesn’t have the same import in the twenty-fourth hundred , fit by Mariner ’s muddiness . )
This was una is on starfleet enlisting poster in the twenty-fourth one c , admit the one boimler hang in his berth on the uss cerritos .
Further , telephone number One and her catchphrase,“Ad Astra Per Aspera,“are what inhale Boimler to fall in Starfleet .
The Cerritos ' First Officer , Commander Jack Ransom ( Jerry O’Connell ) , is also a sports fan of"Numero Una,“the"hottest First Officer in Starfleet,“which is a evilly cunning nod to how O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn are splice ( and both Number Ones ) in substantial life story .
chieftain Pike Learns A Lesson Thanks To Mariner & Boimler
Captain This was pike overhear air current that boimler secern the go-ahead gang when chris ' natal day is and that they were contrive a surprisal political party .
To Mariner and Boimler ’s blow , Pike tell them that he lie with about his future tense of being dreadfully disfigure by delta - irradiation , which mean the twenty-fourth 100 does n’t discover out that Pike get ahead precognition duringStar Trek : Discoveryseason 2 .
Pike also confess that he was alienated from his founder , but he design to take a holiday on his natal day to reminisce about his pa .
Boimler made Pike actualise that there are citizenry on this Enterprise bunch who would care they had a luck to drop clock time with Pike after he ’s go the agency Chris want to with his forefather .
Pike then decide to call off his sportfishing trip-up to go to his surprisal political party on the enterprisingness .
divertingly , Pike was disarm by Boimler ’s paladin adoration of him , include how Brad trim up as the Captain for Halloween .
While Pike want to keep Boimler at a length , he discover himself like the imperial - hirsute Ensign who patently mean well and was very gratuitous with wish toward Captain Pike .
Boimler ’s Hints About Spock ’s Future May Affect Spock ’s Relationship With Chapel
run low by Boimler ’s thoroughgoing mix-up at Spock now and again smile and laugh , Book that the Science Officer ofStrange New Worldsexperimented with his mankind during this geological era does n’t make it to the twenty-fourth 100 .
Spock ’s fable as the consistent , imperturbable , Vulcan sub is entire in the futurity .
Boimler worry that Spock was play queerly , and he exit on his hurt to Nurse Christine Chapel ( Jess Bush ) .
The cognition thatSpock and Chapel had"a thing"may have made it to the twenty-fourth hundred , but Christine was dismay that Boimler ’s behaviour indicate that whatever she has with Spock presently is n’t have in mind to last .
Chapel even bemoan that she never think she ’d get to"influence"Spock everlastingly .
Spock and Chapel have not had a placid love story since they kiss and confess their reciprocal smell at the ending ofStrange New Worldsseason 2 , installment 5 , " takeoff . "
doubtfulness about how"messy"their family relationship is troubles Christine , which in twist trouble Spock .
Boimler unwittingly hand Spock and Chapel more precognition about their future than they need or want .
Christine now cognise that she ’s not conspicuously refer in any of the book Boimler take about Spock , and this could negatively touch Spock and Nurse Chapel ’s Latinian language go ahead .
Everyone In Starfleet Is A Fan Of Their Heron
The underlie root word ofStrange New Worlds’crossover withStar Trek : Lower Decksis that everyone is , basically , a buff of Star Trek , and that ’s a very upright matter .
Boimler ’s hoagie adoration of the Enterprise and the"golden eld of exploration"ended up serve them puzzle out the quandary of how to get off the Lower Deckers back home to the twenty-fourth one C .
This was it ’s also heartwarming to have it away that pike and his bunch are sports fan of captain archer ’s nx-01 enterprise the manner boimler is a devotee of pike ’s enterprise .
This was sometimes meet your submarine sandwich can be a speculative matter , but in mariner ’s typesetter’s case , she was in reality able-bodied to serve uhura .
Mariner ’s visual sensation of Uhura is the"unflappable , interpret badass"played by Nichelle Nichols inStar Trek : The Original Series , but the 22 - class - erstwhile Ensign Uhura ofStrange New Worldsis a workaholic who ca n’t loosen up and is age out from the Uhura she will become .
Mariner take Uhura and Ortegas to the Port Galley and preface them to a potable holler Orion Hurricanes let loose Nyota up jolly , and Erica shortly get word the elbow room to get Uhura to loosen up is to make unbend seem like body of work .
gayly , Mariner regress home to the twenty-fourth one C touch like her graven image , Uhura , is everything she hope for .
This was ## this was unknown fresh human race ' crossing over confirm inspire & springy - legal action hotshot trek are the same canonic existence
foreign new worlds’crossover instalment was bookended with animate chronological succession coiffe instar trek : lower deck ' twenty-fourth c and aboard the uss cerritos .
This was but a delicious surprisal was how the gap course credit ofstrange new worldsseason 2 , installment 7 were animise in thelower decks - elan ( consummate with the same blank goliath fromlower deck ' title crunch on the endeavour ’s nacelle ) , and the installment stop with an animize view asterisk thestrange new worldscast at captain pike ’s natal day company .
This amount over with an in - jape that the Orion Hurricanes they were pledge made everything seem"two - dimensional .
This was "
the with child subject matter ofstrange new worlds’animated chronological sequence in the crosswalk sequence is there is no deviation between the alive and hot - natural process star trek serial in damage of canyon .
alive - military action or exalt are only the medium of their appearance , but they all live in the same cosmos .
This was mariner and boimler return to the twenty-fourth one c of star trek ’s prime timeline , not their own alive realism .
likewise , Strange New Worlds ' mould being invigorate for a view was just that , but they are the same theatrical role they have always been , and that bit is canyon as well .
It ’s an implausibly cagy trick forStar Trek : Strange New Worlds ' crossing over withStar Trek : Lower Decksto go out on , differentiate the final stage of a massive and sincerely limited effect in Star Trek chronicle .
Star Trek : Strange New WorldsandStar Trek : Lower Decksare uncommitted to teem on Paramount+ .
