Spoilers Lower Decks General Discussion Thread
- Thread starter mdtauk
- Start date
Can anyone with the TNG Warped book confirm this? Someone on Memory-alpha added this to Mariner's page in the Apocrypha section:
'In Star Trek: The Next Generation - Warped by Lower Decks creator Mike McMahan, Mariner was stationed on the lowest deck of the USS Enterprise-D as a cadet circa stardate 48035.3. Worf found her and another cadet "joined at the cellular level with a trash can."'
Edit: Bought it myself since the Kindle edition is only .99 cents (and I wanted it anyways). There is a 'Cadet Beckett' in the book, but no other name is given. Usually Rank is given before the family name, that would imply this character's last name is 'Beckett, there are also no pronouns attributed to the character. According to the acknowledgements, Beckett is the name of Mike's mother.

Yeah, I looked for a reference too. Cadet Beckett is a woman, but no other known similarity with Beckett Mariner exists. Probably not intended to be the same person, unless McMahan says so.
Beckett is actually the name of Mike McMahan's sister. I think you misread the acknowledgements, which was "my mother, Beckett, Ces, April, Chris, Lisa, Steven, Molly...". Beckett and Ces[are, his Best Man] are both listed at his wedding in the link above
oh woops.
No, nothing specific has been announced as of yet. They only said that it will come later. Some are guessing that it might be available internationally after season three of Discovery has aired.

Well that's just crappy
Yep. It's a very public 'noyance.
If I ever started a band, it would have the name Boimler Effect.
Love the show so far, but in my mind, it isn't canon (even though the writers said it is canon). Stuff that happens in this show could not possibly actually happen in "real" Star Trek. Like in the most recent episode, the security guard at the Starfleet ship museum was acting so dumb that he was actually saying out loud that he was being distracted in a very comedic way as he was being distracted. While hilarious, this wouldn't actually happen in "real" Star Trek.
So, I just look at this show as a fantastic parody/deconstruction of Star Trek and nothing else. Or, the entire show is just happening in the imagination of one of the crew members of the "real" USS Cerritos.

Canon doesn't care about any of that.
Indeed. It is canon because CBS and the show runners say it’s canon.
That's all well and good, but in my own personal canon, it isn't canon.
Then how are we going to discuss it?
Huh?
No such thing
Yet Star Trek has Reginald Barclay...
Barclay was good at his job, just socially unsure
He was crippled by social anxiety, Picard and Riker even had a conversation about being bamboozled by his last captain.
Hollow Pursuits said:
He was a Starfleet officer that was also on report quite a bit on the Enterprise, and it is made clear that not all ships are ran the same way.

So the idea that Starfleet is all perfectly trained identical minions is pretty much put to bed in this episode.
As always, thanks to Chrissie's Transcript website...
