@@MikMoen*(& @JackIsMe1993, & others) --* Both Jack Quad (Bradward Boimler) and Tawny Newsome (Beckett Mariner) made a point to review ST:LD episodes in order to work on translating their animated-characters into live-action.

It's the more than that, after all of the tribulations of almost losing her career over being an augment, to know that over a century later she's made such an impact that Starfleet utilizes her to inspire the Next Generation of Starfleet officers.

"Ad Astra Per Aspera" is also the state motto of the state of Kansas in the United States. Kansas fought a long struggle against pro-slavery forces from neighboring Missouri during the period leading up to the Civil War (and during the Civil War) including several terrorist attacks by groups like Quantrell's Raiders. So the motto symbolizes reaching "the stars" (a higher place, a better life, our better selves) through "difficulties" that included directly fighting the forces that wanted to drag us down into fear, greed, evil, and the degradation of the human spirit. It's a very appropriate recruitment slogan for Star Fleet.
It is also funny that as the state with the motto "Ad Astra Per Aspera", Kansas is also home to the Cosmosphere, a Smithsonian associated Space Museum, in Hutchinson (NW of Wichita). It's the home of the Mercury Program's Liberty Bell 7, Gemini 10, and Apollo 13 CM Odyssey. It also exhibits authentic WWII German rocketry and various Soviet Space exhibits. It is an INCREDIBLE museum of space artifacts and is definitely worth a visit.
I love how Number One gets offended at the thought of it being a "pinup poster" given Rebecca Romijn's early career as a model. Feels very meta there (also wonderful acting on Rebecca's part). Speaking of meta, having her husband playing Jack Ransom with him making lewd comments about her on the poster, def great meta! I will say though, the moment she learns she's become the poster-woman for Starfleet has become one of my favorite trek moments. From the drama she experienced with her court case and almost being kicked out of Starfleet for being an Illyrian, I imagine she was struggling with her relationship with Starfleet. So knowing that she was recognized to represent the ideals and best of Starfleet to recruit new officers is insanely validating for her, and it came at a time right when she needed it most.
Want to hear something even more meta? Later in the episode, Jack Ransom compliments Una's poster, calling her the "hottest first officer in Starfleet history". Jack Ransom's voice actor (Jerry O'Connell) is married to Rebecca Romijn, so in a very roundabout meta way, he was complimenting his wife.
Yes: I haven't seen much of either show but the careful mixture was obvious from the get go. (The overall premise of the crossover is not too hard to understand, even for a newcomer.)
In The Ready Room for this episode Jack Quaid talks about how he watched a bunch of Lower Decks episodes and worked to get a lot of Boimler's mannerisms in, including the run, the Section 31 power walk, and of course the Boimler scream.
@@hmmmmm6056 In the animation, he just does that. It's how the animators show him whenever he's doing more than walking. It amazes me that Jack Quaid made such a point to study his animated self to get the mannerisms down. There's other things he's doing. Very subtle. In the face for example. He really sells the idea that even tho we see him IRL instead of as a cartoon character? It's still the same guy. Magnificently done. Not many actors could get that down so well.
I love Rebecca Romjin as "Number One" so much. This scene really makes me love the character of Una so much. She spent her entire life having to hide her true self...who she really was, for fear of being mistreated and not having a career. To go from being from a race of people who were shunned and ostracized, to fighting for her place in Starfleet...to finding out she's the literal poster girl (er, poster woman, thanks Boimler) used for Starfleet recruitment was just so touching...seeing it register to her...knowing she will touch the lives of so many in the future (not just for Illyrians, but all people) really made me tear-up. I love SNW so much (and Lower Decks).
It really says something that a show that started as just a comedy Star Trek show ... can pull out some of the finest and most real Star Trek moments out of the entire franchise. You have a gag running through the episode about the poster ... and then the reveal twist that Una is in fact the *literal* recruiting poster of Starfleet. That the Federation acknowledged her struggle for equality and how poorly she was treated by them in the future by pointing to said struggle as the core of what Starfleet is at its best. Probably thirty seconds of dialogue explaining it and Una being utterly stunned and beyond touched that her struggle in the present has been recognized by the future iteration of Starfleet in such a way... The idea that you could have a crossover between Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds and that it would have THAT impactful a moment ... these writers GET it. They really, really get it.
Rebecca Romijn was a very famous swimsuit model in the 90s before she transitioned into acting. She was on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and stuff like that.
@@503leafyMultiple times. They really amped it at the end, with Ransom seeing the poster and commenting on how hot Una is. Ransom is voiced by Rebecca's husband Jerry O'Connell.
That was the first of a "double whammie" Boimler recieved in that scene. He also got a "Live Long and Prosper" from Mr. Spock before transporting down to the planet.
It’s also hilarious, that these characters have already become so well beloved that we can ignore the fact that Tawny Newsome is 5‘10“ and Jack Quaid is 6’1”; totally out of proportions of their 2D character animations.
I find it funny that Mariner, someone who doesn't exactly shy away from discussing sexual and vulgar topics would be confused by the idea of a pin-up poster. Let's be honest, if she could get one of Jennifer, she would.
I interpreted it as, the phrase "pin-up" doesn't exist in her time. It's like when I say "keep on truckin'" and young people have no idea what I'm referring to.
its one thing to discuss sexual and vulgar topics -- its another to meet a man who has a poster of you near his bunk and you think he masturbates to that poster
If you didn't know Ransom is her irl husband. Met him while waiting to meet una and chapel. He just popped out of nowhere and hung out with the needs. Genuinely wanted to meet everyone and visit. Was so nice.😂 I didn't realize he was the fat kid in "stand by me"
For those who don't know, Spock's pet sehlat features heavily in Ep 3 of 'Star Trek: the animated series', in which Spock is sent back in time through a mysterious portal.....
I never knew that they drew Lower Decks characters in the image of their voices. I am far too used to seeing the character and the voice being visually different.
From what I heard it wasn't actually intentional, it just kinda was. To be honest, most of us wouldn't have cared anyway. Animation is only meant to vaguely mirror reality.
They seemed to have done very little with Number One in season 1 just to give us that great cliffhanger. And then they followed that up with 2 great episodes. Very well done! 🤩

Funny how morality changed in 150 years. Number 1 knows the meaning "Pin-Up" as something different than Mariner. Like today the meaning of "being gay".
Heck, considering how loyal Mariner is to her buddies while also giving them crap, I could even see her playfully teasing Boimler about spankin’ it to the Una poster (whether he actually does or not). But if Una or someone else asks about it, she’d entirely play dumb about the meaning.
Now that i saw Mariner and Boimler back in the past, on the Enterprise, i kinda wish to see Pike and Spock in the future on Cerritos 😂 The crew would've fainted 🤣 Carol would loose her sh*t after she learnt that Mariner already know Pike and Spock 🤣 Same goes for Tendi and Rutherford 🤣
If they decide to do a reverse crossover (SNW to LD) I hope they include Lt. Ortegas going to the future. From this episode I feel she'd be right at home on the Cerritos as a lower decker.
This bit gets even funnier back on the Cerritos when we see the poster and Ransom walks past and has all the comments about how hot Una is, which might sound out of place, but then you learn Ransom's voice actor is married to Rebecca Romjin, so he's actually just talking about his wife.
What cracks me up is that she implies Starfleet has 'Temporal Protocols', and thus that this is still not the FIRST time that time travel has happened to Starfleet members.
The fact she's upset over the idea of being on a poster is just too funny because it's easy to forget she used to be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model too.

I'm not even sure that morality changed so much as vocabulary.
Heck, considering how loyal Mariner is to her buddies while also giving them crap, I could even see her playfully teasing Boimler about spankin’ it to the Una poster (whether he actually does or not). But if Una or someone else asks about it, she’d entirely play dumb about the meaning.
Lower Decks should’ve been live action, this episode proves it.
Number One appearing out of nowhere is hilarious.
As a Kansan, this made me happy.
So, will we get to see Captain Boimler when ST:Legacy comes to fruition?
Isn’t it normally through hardship to the stars or Per ASPERA Ad Astra? Not the other way around.
To the stars, through hardship. (Also the state motto of Kansas?)
Now that i saw Mariner and Boimler back in the past, on the Enterprise, i kinda wish to see Pike and Spock in the future on Cerritos 😂 The crew would've fainted 🤣 Carol would loose her sh*t after she learnt that Mariner already know Pike and Spock 🤣 Same goes for Tendi and Rutherford 🤣
If they decide to do a reverse crossover (SNW to LD) I hope they include Lt. Ortegas going to the future. From this episode I feel she'd be right at home on the Cerritos as a lower decker.
@@zathras She has the right amount of sas and chaos. Chapel would also fit in.
Also Tylin would Vulcan geek out at hot young Spock "eye brow raise"
The best part is at the end of the episode when Ransom compliments the poster. Ransom's VA, Jerry O'Connell, is married to Rebecca Romijn.
Oh my god... that wink!
This bit gets even funnier back on the Cerritos when we see the poster and Ransom walks past and has all the comments about how hot Una is, which might sound out of place, but then you learn Ransom's voice actor is married to Rebecca Romjin, so he's actually just talking about his wife.
Turns out these two are really good at acting, not just voice acting!
That wink from number one, likes she's a supermodel or something!
Oooohhhhh that wink! ❤❤❤❤
To be fair, I would also panic if i met Rebecca Romijn
Forget all of that. Number One's wink!
My favourite moment of SNW so far 🥲
What cracks me up is that she implies Starfleet has 'Temporal Protocols', and thus that this is still not the FIRST time that time travel has happened to Starfleet members.
Well duh it happens at least once a season even more so if it’s set on a ship called enterprise
The fact she's upset over the idea of being on a poster is just too funny because it's easy to forget she used to be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model too.
I just saw "Ad Astra" and my brain auto-filled "Abyssosque"
I want to watch strange new worlds just for this cross over
Now, as for what happens on the holodecks based on that poster...
That's why they have to change the holodeck filters so often.
Love the wink. Very rare these days.
Ad Astra Per Aspera To the Stars Through Adversity it was the slogan of Apollo I
Commander Chin-Riley should be honored to be the poster woman of Starfleet because she encouraged others to join Starfleet.
After that wink, it might be a pin-up poster!
I love how the both walk like cartoons
Save Lower Decks. 10 seasons and a movie!
The walk!
sync off?
Some of these comments remind me who Star Trek's greatest villain is: the fans.
Jack is more Boimler live action then in the cartoon
A pin-up. She is Rebecca Romaijn afterall.
he even walks like the comic
Per ardua, ad astra!
Why doesn't Hughie just teleport home?
