Excited for StarTrekLowerDecks to arrive on Blu-ray and DVD July 12? We chat with star TrondyNewman about Mariner's arc in season 2, her own friendship with Jack Quaid, and what's to come in season 3:
With Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2 arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on July 12, Tawny Newsome looks back at her character, Ensign Beckett Mariner's, tumultuous season. The Paramount+ Original Animated Comedy Series left off with a big season 2 cliffhanger where Mariner's mother, Captain Carol Freeman , is arrested by Starfleet.
Screen Rant: Lower Decks season 2 was so great. Let’s start at the end with the season 2 cliffhanger. Mariner’s gotta save her mom, right? It was such a great character development moment to see Mariner go,"Wait a minute! I'm great at this! Horses love me! What's happening here? This doesn't happen to me! I excel at everything." And then to find out that there was corruption happening. I can identify, you know? With the world. Trying to be good at everything, thinking you're in a fair fight, and realizing the game is rigged.
I interviewed Jack last year and he said you and he really have become great friends like Mariner and Boimler. Tawny Newsome: That was so cool. I'd never worn a Starfleet uniform before. I've never cosplayed and never done any of that stuff. I think it's because I'm an actor and I have to dress up for a living, I don't want to put effort into dressing up in my time off. It just felt like too much. But I love looking at people's cosplays, it's so cool.
Tawny Newsome: Oh yeah! Oh my gosh, especially with how beautiful the sets are. There's so much Star Trek now and there are so many different sets. I would die to just touch any of the things in Engineering on Strange New Worlds. Any button, any slider, I just wanna go and press it, and push it, and see what's real and what's CGI. I love it.
Tawny Newsome: Oh it was super fun! I did it with our great writer Garrick Bernard and my good buddy Paul Scheer. Garrick is an excellent Trekkie, a great comedy writer, and an actor himself, so [he's] a wonderful person to talk Star Trek with. And then Paul and I have known each other for a few years now, just doing comedy podcast stuff. It's so fun when you get two podcasters on a Zoom like that.
It's now to the point where if I go to the booth to record or if I go to any Trek event, a producer comes up to me first and goes,"I know! The Pod Directive!" They get in front of it first because they are sick of me hounding them. So to the listeners, trust me, I am with you, I'm doing my best.
