Spoilers Speculations On Upcoming Episodes

I have been told by a journalist friend that the cameo next week is a legacy characrer we would not guess would return in a million years.

That to me makes it actually more likely that Tawny will appear as Mariner. We know she will be in the episode. And we know they will play an audio clip of Brooks repurposed as dialog from Sisko.
 
I’m not sure why I’m only realizing this now, but actually SAM and Sisko do have something in common! They’ve both been created as emissaries to humanity/linear life forms. I wonder if that will be the vehicle that sets the plot in motion: Someone is telling SAM that there was another famous emissary who lived 800 years ago.
 
The next two tracks on the OST are

Job of an Emissary
A Song of Prophets
Clever! Am I the only one who was a little disappointed those tracks weren’t quoting the Deep Space Nine theme in some way? It’s strange, because otherwise Jeff Russo seems to love including melodies from previous Trek scores. Or I just missed it, I don’t know.

And said character served on DS9 iirc
That’s right, yes! During the Dominion war.

I'm a bit lost on your thoughts here. Surely she's highly likely to return as Mariner at some point in the franchise (weren;t they aim to do Middle Decks in some form). Reading the journalist comments directs me to someone far more historic from the franchise with a detachment from things Trek. Unless you're in a direction on this which has gone over my head which is easily possible.
 
I haven’t seen a thing about Tawny appearing. We’ll see I suppose.

So I found this in another thread - a summary of reviewers' comments:

"Mortal Cinema:. The entire fifth episode is a tribute of sorts to Deep Space Nine, with some Marvel-style surprises. Avery Brooks isn’t back, but the episode, cowritten by Newsome, is as loaded with Easter eggs as Lower Decks, and features a new role for Newsome in live-action that isn’t Mariner. Chiwetel Ejiofor performs a key voice-over without ever showing his face on camera."

I'm wondering in fact is Ejiofor is the voice of baby yates-Sisko, and Tawny is not, in fact, their daughter.

Okay, I found where it was revealed that Tawny was going to guest star on the show. It was this Parade article:
While not all of the guest stars have been revealed, we do know Tawny Newsome, who is a co-producer on the series, will guest star on the show. She won’t be playing a live version of Beckett Mariner as she did in the “Those Old Scientists” episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but she will be playing a familiar character.
However, this also specifically says she won’t be playing who I would have expect her to.

Trust me, I’m a bit lost as well. :) My thinking was that since tenmei’s journalist friend said it would be a “legacy character” that will cameo on the episode, that this would support my idea that Tawny would play Mariner (as opposed to Sisko’s daughter or whatever, who’s not a “legacy character”). But now that I found the original article again, I’m not so sure anymore.

I guess we really will have to wait and find out for ourselves. :lol:

EDIT: And apparently “Mortal Cinema” leaked the same info as well. :)

I think Tawny will play a descendant of Sisko.
