Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMariner reveals in this episode that she was friends with Sito Jaxa and Nicholas Locarno who both made their first appearances in The First Duty (1992). This means that she also was in the academy at the same time as Wesley Crusher, and most likely knew him as well since he was part of the same flight group as the others.
- Quotes
Lieutenant jg Beckett Mariner: Look, we don't have to like each other, but until we're off this shitty planet, we need to work together. How else are you gonna get revenge on whoever did this? Each and every one of you comes from a species that chose to travel into space and all the danger that comes with it. We've survived worse. If we work together, nothing can stop us.

Featured review
You flew too close to the sun, Mike.
So this season has been full of inconsistencies and honestly it feels like Paramount is trying to starve this series.
Because if Mike had at least enough good writers left, someone would have told him: "Ugh, Mike. You are retconning a tragic character and stepping over their tragic stories with your cartoon."
If anyone knows or seen Lower Decks is based on they would at least try to respect the characters and lore as it was in the original STNG "Lower Decks". Lower Decks cartoon on the other hand, comes in and starts drawing with crayons over the Star Trek Lore Bible.
Basically we learn that Mariner has a connection to the original Lower Decks characters. Not only was this never mentioned before in Lower Decks but the original series dismissed that Mariner even existed! Mike comes in and pulls a Sybock or Micheal Burnham on Mariner like she was behind the camera or under the table during that episode and sucks out all the drama from those episodes/tragedy.
What I found to be more sad is that this whole continuity mess with Mariner could have been easily avoided by just focusing on Mariner's own friend Ramsey instead of retconing Mariner behind the camera of the original Lower Decks.
