00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:02.752
You see a lot of Easter eggs

2
00:00:02.752 --> 00:00:04.671
in Episode 4 of
Star Trek: Lower Decks.

3
00:00:04.671 --> 00:00:06.506
One of the things that
you might not have noticed

4
00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:10.176
is when Mariner is given
her promotion,

5
00:00:10.176 --> 00:00:12.178
she's also given a new
uniform color.

6
00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:14.806
Now, the uniform colors in
Star Trek obviously apply

7
00:00:14.806 --> 00:00:17.308
to the area of your expertise
that you're working in

8
00:00:17.308 --> 00:00:18.226
on the ship.

9
00:00:18.226 --> 00:00:19.936
So you might question,

10
00:00:19.936 --> 00:00:22.313
why does Mariner go from
having a Command uniform

11
00:00:22.313 --> 00:00:24.232
to sort of an Ops,
yellow uniform?

12
00:00:24.232 --> 00:00:26.609
And what we were
trying to reference is,

13
00:00:26.609 --> 00:00:27.444
in the early seasons
of TNG,

14
00:00:27.444 --> 00:00:29.779
when Geordi gets
his promotion,

15
00:00:29.779 --> 00:00:31.698
he also goes from
having a red uniform

16
00:00:31.698 --> 00:00:32.949
to having a yellow uniform.

17
00:00:32.949 --> 00:00:34.367
Chief engineer.

18
00:00:34.367 --> 00:00:36.119
It still has a nice
ring to it.

19
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.996
Mariner does end up, at
the end of the episode,

20
00:00:37.996 --> 00:00:39.748
getting her regular
uniform back,

21
00:00:39.748 --> 00:00:42.208
but there's a lot of fun
uniform stuff on Star Trek,

22
00:00:42.208 --> 00:00:45.420
and it was just a little nod
to Geordi's adventure in red.
