What’s taking up all his storage space? As it turns out, memories of Tendi ( Noel Wells), as he doesn’t want to forget about her like he did after his implant was destroyed in the season one finale.
Rutherford ( Eugene Cordero), meanwhile, is having a problem with his implant: he’s running out of storage, which is causing error messages to pop up into his line of sight. Commander Andy Billups, and Tawny Newsome as Ensign Beckett Mariner Jack Quaid as Ensign Brad Boimler, Jerry O’Connell as Commander, and Fred Tatasciore as Lieutenant Shaxs, Dawnn Lewis as Captain Carol Freeman, Paul Scheer as Lt. It’s an unexpected development in a character arc we didn’t pay much attention to throughout the season, and we can’t say we won’t miss Mariner quick but angsty exclamations at the Andorian. Following a brief interaction earlier in the episode where the two ensigns bring their distaste for each other to light, Jennifer actually goes out of her way to save Mariner during the climax of the episode. To a less-important degree, Mariner also reconciles with another Cerritos crewmember: the fan-favorite Andorian Ensign Jennifer Sh’reyan ( Lauren Lapkus). It forces the two of them to confront a life aboard a starship without each other, and in the face of such loss, what better time to reconcile? Of course, the pair reconcile their differences following the crew’s near-death experience, and we think the consequences of Freeman’s potential new posting is a great way for the pair to continue building a more normal mother/daughter relationship. Mariner herself is deeply hurt that her mother is going to take another posting, and unsurprisingly lashes out at her, even in the middle of saving the Archimedes. Mariner ( Tawney Newsome) accidentally overhears that her mother is about to get a promotion, and, thinking it’s the most efficient way to annoy her, tells the senior officers before the captain has a chance to. Of course, some personal drama has to weave in-between the over-arching plot. Noel Wells as Ensign Tendi, Eugene Cordero as Ensign Rutherford, and Jack Quaid as Ensign Brad Boimler

Kudos to the writer (and series creator) Mike McMahan for knowing how to use this medium to great effect. Would crewmembers walk around the hull stripping hull plates and then flying through such a thick debris field be feasible for a live-action show? Most likely not, and that’s why we think this episode is notable amid an otherwise excellent season.
In “First First Contact,” the crew rallies to remove the ship’s outer hull plates so they can avoid the worst of the stellar fragments they even go so far as to remove the viewscreen, leaving crewmembers to shout out when stellar fragments are incoming so the ship can maneuver around them.įor our money, we think this setup is a great showcase of how animation gives life to ideas in a way live-action cannot. The way the crew figures out how to navigate deadly stellar debris to save the Archimedes is unlike any solution we’ve ever seen in Star Trek. The ship ends up tumbling end-over-end toward the planet below, leaving the Cerritos to save it. Unfortunately for the ship and its crew – led by Captain Sonya Gomez ( Lycia Naff, who reprises her role from TNG‘s “Q Who”) – the Archimedes suffers a catastrophic disaster just before its scheduled first contact thanks to a nearby exploded planetoid. It’s an Obena-class, a cross between a Sovereign-class and an Excelsior-class, and it’s striking. Phil Lamarr as Admiral Freeman, Dawnn Lewis as Captain Carol Freeman and Lycia Naff as Captain Gomez This potential promotion would happen after one last mission – assisting another Starfleet ship, the Archimedes, with first contact in the Laap System. Lower Decks has entered its own, and we think it’s fantastic.Īs foreshadowed in the season two premiere, Captain Freeman ( Dawnn Lewis) has finally earned a chance at a promotion – albeit one that would take her away from the Cerritos and her crew. It’s so confident, in fact, that it delivers an excellent season finale without the assist of killer cameos or over-the-top fan service. The season two finale for Lower Decks is the best illustration of what we’ve been saying about this season all along: this show has gained well-earned confidence in itself.
