Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x10 - "Old Friends, New Planets"

[dswynne1]

Would you want one of your leads on a Trek show being known as the one who got a friend killed for his arrogance? And then trying to force others to cover it up?

Why not? It would have been an interesting story arc of redemption, or not. Definitely, you could have gotten some mileage out of it.

I mean, the Maquis WEREN'T given second chances. The crew of the Voyager were the only Maquis not slaughtered aside from Ensign Ro as far as we know.

Also, Nick wasn't a Maquis. That was Tom Paris.

RO LAREN has entered the room. Also? The Maquis aboard VOYAGER weren't the only ones to not get slaughtered. In fact, many of them were rescued by Starfleet.

But my greater point still stands, in regards to the Dominion War. You'd think that Starfleet would have cut some slack with the likes of Nick Lorcano in the face of such a threat.

Nick was booted from the Academy a year and a half before the wormhole was discovered. And as far as we know, he never reapplied to Starfleet in any capacity.

For anyone who doesn't think that Locarno became Paris for credit reasons, I'd love to hear why Taurik became Vorik. Was Taurik irredeemable?

One of the leads got three people killed and covered it up.

This could really be her, the hair is similar enough

And this reminded me of that

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I just don't believe that's the case. Not even the writers of the episode have said that.

Even if it's true, they'd never admit it. That's just not how it works.

It's like pitchers, in baseball, when they intentionally hit someone with a pitch. They NEVER freely admit that they were throwing at the batter. They always say something like "It just got out of control". They don't admit the truth, even when it's obvious. Same story here.

 

[NCC-73515]

His fate was written on his back all the time.

The character you've circled is an alien. You can also see that extra as part of the audience at the inquiry in at least one of the wide shots.

 

[Tallguy]

She's not in The First Duty. She IS at Kirk's inquiry in Star Trek '09. Long story...

But Lorcano caused Wesley to get left back a year. Wesley "fans" would have never accepted him

5th Nova Squad memeber, Jean Hajar, may actually appear in the episode

I'm sure Paramount wasn't afraid of one half dozen fans

The better question, is this Boothby???

That was certainly my assumption.

They did an entire episode about the crew of the Voyager reacting to the slaughter of the Maquis.

Also, I mentioned Ro in my post.

 

[The Wormhole]

Why do you think there are so many credits for the two Maquis episodes in DS9? So Croker and Behr couldn't make any claims.

Face it, they were being jerks.

I don't know if I'd say they were being jerks. The Maquis were created specifically to be a sort of cross-franchise storyline between TNG and DS9 to set things up for Voyager. That's the kind of situation where you want to make sure you won't owe anyone for using the concept.

"The First Duty" was one of the episodes where unless you were ingrained in your hatred of Wesley, made you realize neither the character or actor were terrible as it's one of Star Trek's best episodes that wouldn't have worked with any other character.
