Did Lt. Carey serve aboard the Enterprise D?

Hello all,

I've just watched the 1st season TNG episode 'Justice' and it features Josh Clark as a security-division ensign who fills in for Lt. Yar at tactical when she is on an away team.

The question I'm wondering is, for all intents and purposes, could this be Lt. Joseph Carey (also played by Clark), who later transfers to the USS Voyager? The end credits simply list him as 'Conn' (although technically he wasn't serving at that position), so fictionally this could work.

I'd be a nice bit of continuity if true

Good catch. Why not?

Memory Alpha believes it to be possible...

 

[erastus25]

Sure, it's possible. We also know that many characters, like Leslie on TOS, have dopplegangers serving in Starfleet so it may not be him.

The more important question is, why in the hell were you watching “Justice?”

That's why:

Meh. You can see that anywhere.

 

[Candlelight]

Wow, Lt Carey sure looked different back then didn't he?

 

[Mr. Fergy]

I think it was Mr. Carrey.

I've been watching quite a lot of the first and second season episodes of TNG recently, and have been enjoying them quite a lot (in a guilty-pleasure kinda way)! I'd forgotten how hammy the series was back then.

And yeah, minus the wig, that female Edo girl is quite hot.

P.S. I'm still mourning the death of Lt. Carey. There was no real need to kill him off, was there?

^ Not really. I thought his death was lame.
Kind of sad in a way too. We never see him for how many seasons and then bam, he's dead. I figured something was going to happen when he just suddenly appeared in that episode and was put on an away team the first time it aired.

Hey! Berman and Braga pointlessly killing off an Engineering/Operations officer with a laughable death!!! Totally new and refreshing!

(Yeah. I know I probably shouldn't go there...)

So in the episode where Carey bites it, Janeway visits his room at the end of the episode and discovers that he was making a ship in a bottle, specifically that of Voyager. All he needed was to attach one more nacelle. With all the battles and violent explosions and rampant shaking, isn't making a ship in a bottle kind of, I dunno, futile? One good phaser blast will rock the ship and tip that sucker over, and then BAM, the death of Voyager (mini-Voyager, that is).

I think that by the 24th century, Starfleet would've perfected "shoebox full of crumpled newspaper" technology.

I think it was Carey. Honestly, it's fun to imagine that it is Carey. It's not impossible that he served on the Enterprise some years before serving on Voyager
