Since the debut of Star Trek: Lower Decks in 2020, Ensign Beckett Mariner (now a Lieutenant Junior Grade) is a capable, heroic Starfleet officer who sabotages herself. Over four seasons, Mariner made peace with her mother, Captain Freeman, and made friends with Brad Boimler, D’Vana Tendi, Samanthan Rutherford and new Vulcan crewmember, T’Lyn. However, Mariner has a big hole in her heart, and “The Inner Fight” offers real clarity. Mariner is so against promotion and advancement because of her connection to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Lower Decks.”The big change in Season 4 of Lower Decks was the characters’ promotions, but unlike the rest, Mariner was a Lieutenant before. She’s frequently said that she gets promoted and then gets busted back down to Ensign because she “speaks her mind.” While taking shelter from the most hilarious alien weather event yet, a “glass storm,” she comes clean about what is behind her self-destructive streak. Ironically, she doesn’t confess this to any of her very close friends. Rather, she tells it to Ma’ah (who first appeared in Season 2, Episode 9, “Wej Duj”), a Klingon she was fighting to the death before the storm began. This episode connects directly to The Next Generation in two ways, but it seems Mariner knew the Ensign who died in Season 7, Episode 15, “Lower Decks.” As series creator Mike McMahan often says, this episode is the eponym of the animated comedy and now they are directly connected.Upon being promoted, all the characters had moments of regression, mostly in the episode about Tendi and Rutherford’s relationship. However, Mariner has been back to her old, insubordinate self since Season 4, Episode 2, “I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee.” Despite all evidence to the contrary, she believes she will be demoted again. When that doesn’t happen, she starts taking foolish risks that on any other Star Trek series would end with the character’s demotion or death.Star Trek: Lower Decks Showrunner Calls for Fans to Help Secure More Seasons
