Strange New Worlds Crossover’s Impact On Star Trek
The crossover mattered to Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks
Beyond being a wildly entertaining episode ofStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , Ensigns Boimler and Mariner coming aboard the 23rd one C USS Enterprise had a profound effect on both shows . Captain Pike may have been worsen with Boimler and Mariner , but they made him see the economic value of attending his birthday party and drop time with his crew . Number One ( Rebecca Romijn ) was also heartened that her motto,“Ad Astra Per Aspera,“is a Starfleet recruiting slogan that barrack Boimler . Unfortunately , whenNurse Christine Chapel ( Jess Bush ) learned that none of the succeeding books written about Spock name her , it informed her decision to break off her relationship with the Vulcan Science Officer .
Back aboard the USS Cerritos in the 24th century , Mariner and Boimler were also changed by theStrange New Worldscrossover , even thoughneither of them are"supposed to babble out about"meeting Captain Pike , ever . Boimler ’s gumption of trust was bolstered by his experience aboard Pike ’s Enterprise , and he heroically saved the USS Voyager inStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 4 ’s close . This led to promotions to Lieutenant , third-year grade for Bradward , Beckett , and their Lower Decker supporter . Mariner also met her submarine , Ensign Nyota Uhura ( Celia Rose Gooding ) , and that set up Beckett facing the loss of her best friend from Starfleet Academy , Ensign Sito Jaxa ( Shannon Fill ) inLower Decksseason 4 ’s finale .
