DS9 was terrible as well. They would take Sisko, Dax, O'Brian, Bashir, Worf and then depending on what they were doing a bunch of non-starfleet characters like Kira, who shouldn't be doing anything with Starfleet unless it directly related to Bajor, Garak or Odo. There was also an episode of TNG where Picard was gone, Riker took over then went down to a planet, got captured with Worf & Geordi then Data & Troi also go down to the planet, with Crusher entirely absent from the episode.

Newsflash for you Martin. They've been doing that since the original series. That's where the standard started.

I know right? It's an obvious nod to the change in scenery, but since Boimler always fantasizes this it isn't at all out of place. Perfect interaction to start a scene!
@@IcebeardedIn the live action episode I thought she was really fun and charming. It's just the animations in lower decks that make her look angry and fed up with everyone around her.
Love how Boimler yells "Remember me..." as he gets sucked into the portal... A reference to the STTNG episode (S04E05) of the same name with Doctor Crusher.
@@jossuehernandez8022I believe it’s the episode where Dr. Crusher gets accidentally pulled into a copy of her universe, but it exists inside a bubble that keeps shrinking. People keep disappearing and no one but her remembers they existed. She sets out to unravel the mystery, until the bubble gets so small, it starts to erase the entire Enterprise. Just as it’s closing in on her, she gets out of the bubble because her real friends on the outside had been opening portals to try to free her. It’s a great episode.
@@SyzygyNoon Yeah at one point she was hanging off a console trying not to get sucked in. Gates McFadden did the stunt herself, and found out a few days later that she was a couple of weeks' pregnant at the time.
Koala, but this was such a good intro. Look at all the fun they must have had with this, setting up how it all works, and just foreshadowing things since it's a comedy and they can REALLY have fun with it. I have to admit, I'm still not sure if I like this better than Trials and Tribulations, but it is certainly as good as it if not better, because the writers, actors, and everyone involved was obviously having such a good time with everything.
I lost it watching this episode when Spock said “do you feel lucky?” And Boimler basically started sobbing. His reaction every time Spock smiled was how it feels seeing painfully out of character fanfics
I always preferred Joker smiling to Spock smiling. Sure, depending on the version Joker smiling means you're as good as dead, but at the very least would not feel... off.
It's never gonna happen but I hope the Lower Decks gang become a seasonal recurring annoyance to the SNW crew. More live action Tawney and Jack would be sweet, especially if we get some Nöel and Eugene action aswell.
@@justarandomgothamite5466 There's a little section at the end of the episode where the SNW crew is animated in the LD style. Not quite the same, but it's more than nothing?
consindering the end, that lower decks starts with tendy arriving and that the live action part starts when boimler gets in the tendi less past, we can conclude lower decks is from tendi's pov and she is wasted.
I have to wonder what went through the minds of the SNW fans when they saw the animation! This was a fun episode and actually got me started watching SNW itself. The writers of both shows knocked it out of the park!
Being a Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks fan myself, this here is one of my own personal favourite episodes overall. Admittedly, I was worried at first about whether or not this particular crossover would work, but BOY, does ot work spectacularly. 😄 Both Boimler and Mariner look great in live action as well. 🙂^.^
So apparently a tiny fraction of fans had no idea this episode was in the pipeline {I can't even guess at the amount of tunnel vision that must have required}, and turned on SNW only to see this first four minutes of Lower Decks. They thought Paramount had mis-uploaded the respective episodes of the two series. They figured it out eventually, but then I heard from someone who had no idea Lower Decks existed AT ALL. {In their defense they live in the UK. The streaming services are different there.} But honestly, this was the most hyped episode of Star Trek in three decades. What WOULD you have to do to be totally unaware of it?
It's available over here, it's just that NO advertising whatsoever seems to have been done. Until I found someone binging it, I thought what I'd seen was fan-art.
There was once an episode of "The X Files" that started out as an episode of "Cops." There was no warning, and no hype. Nobody knew what was happening, and a LOT of people were very, very angry that Cops was on instead of X Files. Then something freeeeky happened to the cops and the X Files music started playing. It was a great fake out, and a pretty good episode.
@@buttonsfan Despite being limited to a single streaming service, every Trek show is all over social media in the usual pop culture news sites. I don't have Hulu or Apple + or several others, yet I'm still bombarded daily with 'news' about all of their shows. In this day and age it honestly takes EFFORT (and severely unhealthy self-absorption) not to know about whats going on.
So here's the thing. Pretty casual fan here, who doesn't have access to this streaming service. I just found out, /right now/ by watching this clip! And I am so hyped!!
I'm just wondering what anyone going into this episode cold will be thinking with the Lower Decks opening. Imagine not knowing this was a crossover episode and wondering why it was being animated...
I was very confused. Checked if Amazon somehow made a mistake. It was such a great surprise and I absolutely loved it. One of the best Star Trek things ever.
For me, it was the opposite. I recently started watching SNW for the first time, and have been enjoying what i've seen. I've seen snippets here and there of LD episodes on YT and just figured it was one of that shows episodes. Then when I saw him going through the portal into a live action set, I vaguely remembered about a Star Trek crossover event. My first thought? 'COOOL!' 8)
I did notice that Jack lowered his voice a little for the real-life Boimler. I guess the higher pitched version he does for the animation didn't quite work.
They should do the animated series version of Star Trek: Strange New World because Star Trek: Lower Deck is becoming successful so it wouldn't hurt to do another animated series version of Star Trek.
In addition to Star Trek: Prodigy, another animated series they could do would be some sort of revival of Star Trek: Enterprise, maybe finally give them a chance to continue the series as intended. I would love to see Shran join the crew of Enterprise as a main character, as what was intended.
Its kinda cool that when rewatching this when the two were debating the history of the discovery, that they were experiencing quantum state of historic events.
I love how The Lower decks plays up the Planet of Hats trope for laughs and a lesson in fighting stereotypes versus adopting them. "Somebody had to make the spaceships!" fantastic point. Maybe the Klingons could learn something about not treating their scientists like second class citizens. We NEVER see Klingon scientists. They're like unicorns!
It’s like that episode of TNG where Crusher advocates for the Ferengi scientist. It’s like ‘of course they have scientists, THEY ALL HAVE WARP DRIVE’ 🤣🤣
Love how Boimler seems to grow a foot once he goes through the portal. Almost like Jack Quaid is over 6ft and noticeably taller than the entire live action cast. Even funnier when he's talking with Pike.
This episode taught me one major thing about Star Trek..... IN EVERY OTHER SERIES THEY DON'T TALK LIKE PEOPLE! Everything every word, every single measure of communication is measured and precise and proper and dignified, and PEOPLE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT. And it was so PERFECTLY exemplified in Boimler trying to talk, the stuttering and rambling, and then PIke would respond to him as if addressing a formal fucking hearing to Starfleet Command, they don't just... chat, even in casual settings, TNG, DS9, Voyager, OS, everything! They don't ramble and talk over each other, and banter like fucking PEOPLE. It's like Polite Society completely overwrote all 'casual' interaction in the Star Trek Universe. and then Lower Decks arrives and holy shit, they just go at it and it just didn't HIT me until I seen this episode. :P
I've watched this clip and I just now caught a nod to tng at 3:18. Boimler shouts "Remember me" as he gets sucked in. That has to be a reference to the Tng episode Remember Me.
It wax this episode of SNW that convinced me to give Lower Decks a second try, and I'm glad that I did! First time I tried I only watched the first 3 episodes, but after this I watched the whole series, and can't wait for more! 😃
Speaking of horonium , i wonder if the uss franklin of st:beyond use that metal in its construction which explains why it is so sturdy against the swarm
“I know you know everything about everything, but let's maybe listen to Tendi on this one.” is lovely, and based on the guiding principle people should use when wondering about cultures/sex orientations/disabilities/ethnicities/genders etc: listen to those who actually are the people most affected, the people who live it. they are the experts. other viewpoints are pretty much meaningless and often harmful. thank you, lower decks!
1:26 Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford enter the transporter room with Mariners ex girlfriend, Jennifer Sh'reyan manning the controls Tendi with excitement: Alright! We're Ready To Go! Jennifer: Coordinates set. It'll be a bit of a walk, but not too far. (as the landing party enters the pad) Listien, Beckett. If you ever have the time- Mariner trying to ignore her: Energize. Jennifer understood it was not the time: Sure. (beams them down) 1:30 The landing party beams down Rutherford: Portal location is that way. the party walks to the location of the portal Tendi: Your still not talking to Jen? Mariner: Nope. Boimler: Mariner, you have to talk to her. Mariner: Look, I don't want her giving me any ideas of us ever getting back together. I mean, she broke my heart guys. When that Bitch Nuze wrote that Bull$#!^ article about me and the Cerritos, Jen turned her back on me like everyone else when I needed her the most. Tendi: We didn't turn ours backs on you. We knew what Nuze said about you wasn't true. Mariner: Yeah, but you guys are my friends and Jen was someone who I loved. I gave her my heart, and she threw it back my face. I will never go through that with her again. Boimler: Look Mariner, we're sorry that Jen hurt you. We really are. But that doesn't mean you should go back to hating each other. Have you forgotten that she saved your life on that debris field when we went to save the Archimedes and the Lapeerian? Mariner: Yeah, I remember. Boimler: All we're saying is if you don't wanna go back to dating Jen, fine. But maybe you should just try to be friends. Mariner sighs: Will see. (the party made it to the portal) Okay. The ancient inactive thingy iiiiissss right over there. Let's go make sure it's still not doing anything.
I liked Jennifer up til she cheered when Mariner phasered her scared friends. And those friends were not rude to Mariner, just fussy. Sadly ,I have experience with these kinds of things. Whoever does that to his/her friends, will do it to their lovers in the future. Mariner tried to explain the truth to Jennifer, wich she didn't do to her friends, captain-mother or supervizor Ransom, but Jen didn't want to listen. Her captain mother had already called the shuttle for Starbase 80 to pick her up BEFORE asking her if she was guilty, but at least she had experienced her daughter's shenanigans before. Her friends Boimler, Tendi and Rutheford didn't believe in her innocence, but at least were sad she had to go. To my surprise, Ransom, who she had treated the worst on the ship, weakly tried to defend her and postpone the captain 's decision and was sad to see her transferred. Jen saved Mariner 's life, but Ransom saved all of them ( including the other ship), while oxygen was leaking from his helmet and the guidance system was malfunctioning. Jen needs to mature and Mariner needs good therapy for the traumas that make her act unhinged ( probably PTSD and abandonment issues from the klingon prison she mentioned and/or the Dominion war).
Of course they believed Mariner didn’t said those things on that article. They tried to stood up for her, but 3 voices wasn’t enough to convince everyone else and Mariner knew that and that’s why she left Starfleet out of spite to which she regretted later on and lead the California class armada to save the Cerritos from the rouge automated fleet and was welcomed back with open arms. I’m surprised that they haven’t promote her straight to captain of her own ship.
While I want to see some sort of resolution to the Mariner/Jennifer situation, it wouldn’t be happening here, as it hasn’t happened yet. Boimler’s stardate at the beginning actually places the 24th century portion of this episode right after Hear All, Trust Nothing, when Mariner and Jennifer’s relationship was likely at its strongest.
Boimler went on a diagonal. You see, there's a reasoning behind that. If you go backwards or forwards in the fabric of time, that is pretty straightforward. Now if you go sideways, you skip into a parallel universe on the same timeline. Now with our hero, he went backwards AND skipped into a parallel universe. In which had weird consequences. I'm glad he used the carpool lane.
@@rhodrage It's not. One of the worst things they did in Star Trek Enterprise was trying to justify the TV visualizations of the 1960s as being a real-real in-universe thing instead of an artifact of television production of the era, because now we have no-lifers refusing to accept that ANY change in production values is due to modern productions having massively raised the bar on what is acceptable to see in television, and not some parallel universe where things are different Because. Storytelling is filtered through time.
@@filthycasual8187 Sort of but not really. That episode was an anniversary one and it stuck characters into existing footage, so they absolutely had to match the recon sets (which were much smaller rebuilds than you're probably thinking) with the original show (plus, DS9 was filmed in SD for SD televisions, so it wasn't such a jarring clash with how modern sets are designed back then). It was ENT that made a point of wedging 60s potato-resolution design aesthetics into a 720p HD place, where it really didn't belong.
@@rhodrage Nighthawk's entire post is just a passive-aggressive way of saying he doesn't believe _SNW_ is canon to the prime timeline because the ships, sets, and costumes don't look like a modern-day high school production.
I just started watching this show, and I hated Mariner in the first episode. I almost stopped watching after that, but I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did. I think the show is great.
Honestly this should have been a Lower deck episode. The same episode you mind, no change, just put on a different show. Imagen the surprise. A clever trailer only hinting on time travel and then the reveal when you saw it for the very first time. I understand why they did what they did, but the surprise and reveal would have been bigger I think.
Finally they learned and are sending disposable ensigns on an away mission instead of the entire command staff.
DS9 was terrible as well. They would take Sisko, Dax, O'Brian, Bashir, Worf and then depending on what they were doing a bunch of non-starfleet characters like Kira, who shouldn't be doing anything with Starfleet unless it directly related to Bajor, Garak or Odo. There was also an episode of TNG where Picard was gone, Riker took over then went down to a planet, got captured with Worf & Geordi then Data & Troi also go down to the planet, with Crusher entirely absent from the episode. At least Voyager had an excuse that half the crew died.@@KingCrab85
Probably because, at some point, they ran out of sacrificial red shirts.
Newsflash for you Martin. They've been doing that since the original series. That's where the standard started.

I don’t know why “STOP LURCHING TOWARDS IT” made me laugh so hard
Lurching is just kind of a funny word I remember Mallory Archer called a huge dimwitted guy lurch and I cried of laughter.
I think it's the way she said it, like she was angry with Boims for his uncontrollable lurching towards the portal.
I wonder if that is a Unity from Narbonic reference

Couldn't care less about SNW or Lower Decks, but I like how they did this crossover
I love how The Lower decks plays up the Planet of Hats trope for laughs and a lesson in fighting stereotypes versus adopting them. "Somebody had to make the spaceships!" fantastic point. Maybe the Klingons could learn something about not treating their scientists like second class citizens. We NEVER see Klingon scientists. They're like unicorns!
It’s like that episode of TNG where Crusher advocates for the Ferengi scientist. It’s like ‘of course they have scientists, THEY ALL HAVE WARP DRIVE’ 🤣🤣
You think the temporal cops told Mariner to be part of this mission.
If anything, they told her not to be.
i could watch a whole episode of the LD crew just conversing with nothing else going on, they were so good here
I've just noticed that Boimler screams "remember me" which was the title of the TNG episode where Beverly got trapped in a warp bubble!
Love how Boimler seems to grow a foot once he goes through the portal. Almost like Jack Quaid is over 6ft and noticeably taller than the entire live action cast. Even funnier when he's talking with Pike.
Oh gosh... heres a hunt... when they reference tos singing due to a subspace fold
This episode taught me one major thing about Star Trek..... IN EVERY OTHER SERIES THEY DON'T TALK LIKE PEOPLE! Everything every word, every single measure of communication is measured and precise and proper and dignified, and PEOPLE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT.
And it was so PERFECTLY exemplified in Boimler trying to talk, the stuttering and rambling, and then PIke would respond to him as if addressing a formal fucking hearing to Starfleet Command, they don't just... chat, even in casual settings, TNG, DS9, Voyager, OS, everything! They don't ramble and talk over each other, and banter like fucking PEOPLE. It's like Polite Society completely overwrote all 'casual' interaction in the Star Trek Universe. and then Lower Decks arrives and holy shit, they just go at it and it just didn't HIT me until I seen this episode. :P
Best crossover episode ever.
Those two series were the best thing about the new Star Trek for me. And I'm still hoping that Lower Decks will be renewed.🖖😃
I've watched this clip and I just now caught a nod to tng at 3:18. Boimler shouts "Remember me" as he gets sucked in. That has to be a reference to the Tng episode Remember Me.
"Ha ha, science" I love Tendi and Rutherford.
Best crossover in Star Trek History
“Remember me…..!” Had me in stitches! 😂😂😂
Second best Star Trek crossover episode ever!
I just watched this episode, and it was a pile of laughs!
This was a great episode.
Very funny too.
Cool how they turned human.😂😂😂😂
and just to add to all the cross over fun the episode is directed by ole Will Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes.
Damn I love that episode, kind of wish they would make more cross over episodes between lower decks and other startrek shows :>
"you guys looks so realistic" your skin colors and textures are so photogenic....(passes out)
REMEMBER ME!
call back to a great TNG episode.
REMEMBER MEEEE…
It wax this episode of SNW that convinced me to give Lower Decks a second try, and I'm glad that I did! First time I tried I only watched the first 3 episodes, but after this I watched the whole series, and can't wait for more! 😃
Speaking of horonium , i wonder if the uss franklin of st:beyond use that metal in its construction which explains why it is so sturdy against the swarm
This is everything I ever wanted in Star Trek.
“I know you know everything about everything, but let's maybe listen to Tendi on this one.” is lovely, and based on the guiding principle people should use when wondering about cultures/sex orientations/disabilities/ethnicities/genders etc: listen to those who actually are the people most affected, the people who live it. they are the experts. other viewpoints are pretty much meaningless and often harmful.
thank you, lower decks!
Wonderful episode.
This is where the tradition of sending Red Shirts to their deaths was born.
OMG, I love crossover episodes!!!
Enterprise found it first since the crew were down there when the real people portal was activated. The Orions came later and stole the portal.
Shhhhh
Yes but later when they send Boimler and Mariner home the deal with the Orions was they'd let them take credit for first finding the portal.
@@imogenonscreen8054 on a technicality
@@imogenonscreen8054 i mean you could argue there sensors detected it first and thats why they where there to begin with
1:26
Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford enter the transporter room with Mariners ex girlfriend, Jennifer Sh'reyan manning the controls
Tendi with excitement: Alright! We're Ready To Go!
Jennifer: Coordinates set. It'll be a bit of a walk, but not too far. (as the landing party enters the pad) Listien, Beckett. If you ever have the time-
Mariner trying to ignore her: Energize.
Jennifer understood it was not the time: Sure. (beams them down)
1:30
The landing party beams down
Rutherford: Portal location is that way.
the party walks to the location of the portal
Tendi: Your still not talking to Jen?
Mariner: Nope.
Boimler: Mariner, you have to talk to her.
Mariner: Look, I don't want her giving me any ideas of us ever getting back together. I mean, she broke my heart guys. When that Bitch Nuze wrote that Bull$#!^ article about me and the Cerritos, Jen turned her back on me like everyone else when I needed her the most.
Tendi: We didn't turn ours backs on you. We knew what Nuze said about you wasn't true.
Mariner: Yeah, but you guys are my friends and Jen was someone who I loved. I gave her my heart, and she threw it back my face. I will never go through that with her again.
Boimler: Look Mariner, we're sorry that Jen hurt you. We really are. But that doesn't mean you should go back to hating each other. Have you forgotten that she saved your life on that debris field when we went to save the Archimedes and the Lapeerian?
Mariner: Yeah, I remember.
Boimler: All we're saying is if you don't wanna go back to dating Jen, fine. But maybe you should just try to be friends.
Mariner sighs: Will see. (the party made it to the portal) Okay. The ancient inactive thingy iiiiissss right over there. Let's go make sure it's still not doing anything.
I liked Jennifer up til she cheered when Mariner phasered her scared friends. And those friends were not rude to Mariner, just fussy. Sadly ,I have experience with these kinds of things. Whoever does that to his/her friends, will do it to their lovers in the future. Mariner tried to explain the truth to Jennifer, wich she didn't do to her friends, captain-mother or supervizor Ransom, but Jen didn't want to listen. Her captain mother had already called the shuttle for Starbase 80 to pick her up BEFORE asking her if she was guilty, but at least she had experienced her daughter's shenanigans before. Her friends Boimler, Tendi and Rutheford didn't believe in her innocence, but at least were sad she had to go. To my surprise, Ransom, who she had treated the worst on the ship, weakly tried to defend her and postpone the captain 's decision and was sad to see her transferred. Jen saved Mariner 's life, but Ransom saved all of them ( including the other ship), while oxygen was leaking from his helmet and the guidance system was malfunctioning. Jen needs to mature and Mariner needs good therapy for the traumas that make her act unhinged ( probably PTSD and abandonment issues from the klingon prison she mentioned and/or the Dominion war).
Of course they believed Mariner didn’t said those things on that article. They tried to stood up for her, but 3 voices wasn’t enough to convince everyone else and Mariner knew that and that’s why she left Starfleet out of spite to which she regretted later on and lead the California class armada to save the Cerritos from the rouge automated fleet and was welcomed back with open arms. I’m surprised that they haven’t promote her straight to captain of her own ship.
While I want to see some sort of resolution to the Mariner/Jennifer situation, it wouldn’t be happening here, as it hasn’t happened yet. Boimler’s stardate at the beginning actually places the 24th century portion of this episode right after Hear All, Trust Nothing, when Mariner and Jennifer’s relationship was likely at its strongest.
"A broken portal is just a tunnel."
I was expecting Boimler: I know how to Track The Orions! episode
Boimler went on a diagonal.
You see, there's a reasoning behind that. If you go backwards or forwards in the fabric of time, that is pretty straightforward. Now if you go sideways, you skip into a parallel universe on the same timeline. Now with our hero, he went backwards AND skipped into a parallel universe. In which had weird consequences.
I'm glad he used the carpool lane.
I'm not sure its intended to be a parallel universe?
@@rhodrage It's not. One of the worst things they did in Star Trek Enterprise was trying to justify the TV visualizations of the 1960s as being a real-real in-universe thing instead of an artifact of television production of the era, because now we have no-lifers refusing to accept that ANY change in production values is due to modern productions having massively raised the bar on what is acceptable to see in television, and not some parallel universe where things are different Because.
Storytelling is filtered through time.
@@katherineberger6329 DS9 did it first.
@@filthycasual8187 Sort of but not really. That episode was an anniversary one and it stuck characters into existing footage, so they absolutely had to match the recon sets (which were much smaller rebuilds than you're probably thinking) with the original show (plus, DS9 was filmed in SD for SD televisions, so it wasn't such a jarring clash with how modern sets are designed back then). It was ENT that made a point of wedging 60s potato-resolution design aesthetics into a 720p HD place, where it really didn't belong.
@@rhodrage Nighthawk's entire post is just a passive-aggressive way of saying he doesn't believe _SNW_ is canon to the prime timeline because the ships, sets, and costumes don't look like a modern-day high school production.
I just started watching this show, and I hated Mariner in the first episode. I almost stopped watching after that, but I decided to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did. I think the show is great.
Boimler: Remember me! Like a Vulcan?
Honestly this should have been a Lower deck episode. The same episode you mind, no change, just put on a different show. Imagen the surprise. A clever trailer only hinting on time travel and then the reveal when you saw it for the very first time. I understand why they did what they did, but the surprise and reveal would have been bigger I think.
"Remember me!!!!!" 😅😅😅
One of the BEST episodes in ALL of Star Trek. Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it?
Question - is he now the voice of Superman?
That's him, yep!
I might buy the entire season of Brave New Worlds just to see this episode.
My hope is that they'll add the SNW episode to the next Lower Decks Blu-ray or DVD as a bonus.
I was wondering why I didn't remember this Lower Decks episode. 😅
The writing is hilarious
Would have been interesting if they used the Filmation style for the parts in the 23rd century
Curious as to what ancient race built the time portal tech
the ancient Atlantis
Nobody knows. The label's in Nausicaan, but they might've come along way later.
I was wondering why I never saw this episode of the lower decks.
Did they ever use the phrase "spoilers" in the episode? If not, how kewl would that be?
A little problem? I think she means a "BIG Problem".
Boiler really should have learned to shut his cake hole! Beware what you wish for! You may end up getting it! 😉
3:20 Huh. Mariner actually sounds kinda scared here. That's rare for her.
She lost her cha'DIch that's why!
