01:00:03.725 --> 01:00:05.935
Hey, I'm Tawny Newsome,
and I want to know

01:00:05.935 --> 01:00:07.478
if you caught this Easter egg

01:00:07.478 --> 01:00:09.314
in the latest episode
of Lower Decks.

01:00:12.525 --> 01:00:14.652
Gary Mitchell, from The Original Series,

01:00:14.652 --> 01:00:16.279
he was a helmsman on the Enterprise

01:00:16.279 --> 01:00:19.907
who encountered strange energies and
gained godlike powers,

01:00:19.907 --> 01:00:21.993
just like our boy Jack Ransom.

01:00:21.993 --> 01:00:24.370
Okay, now let's talk to our own
godlike showrunner,

01:00:24.370 --> 01:00:26.456
Mike McMahan, to give
us a little more info.

01:00:26.456 --> 01:00:28.124
Gary Mitchell, we get
to see Gary Mitchell

01:00:28.124 --> 01:00:30.293
in this very TOS-themed episode.

01:00:30.293 --> 01:00:33.087
Nothing says TOS
like strange energies,

01:00:33.087 --> 01:00:34.964
the vaguest of energies,
zapping somebody

01:00:34.964 --> 01:00:36.799
and giving them
godlike powers.

01:00:36.799 --> 01:00:37.634
But hey, at the
end of the day,

01:00:37.634 --> 01:00:39.135
as long as you're smushing
them under a boulder,

01:00:39.135 --> 01:00:42.972
you should be able to get out of it without
too much damage.

01:00:42.972 --> 01:00:45.183
I would like to say though,
that at least, you know,

01:00:45.183 --> 01:00:48.353
by 2380, they know how
to undo the effects.

01:00:48.353 --> 01:00:50.855
It's nice to see that
Ransom is in sick bay

01:00:50.855 --> 01:00:51.814
at the ending of this episode.

01:00:51.814 --> 01:00:54.233
I'm pretty sure they
just leave Gary Mitchell

01:00:54.233 --> 01:00:55.151
smushed under the boulder.

01:00:55.151 --> 01:00:56.778
Noooooo!
