WEBVTT
00:00:00.458 --> 00:00:03.086
Man, okay, finale of Season 2.
00:00:03.086 --> 00:00:04.087
That was a big one.
00:00:08.216 --> 00:00:10.719
We've got this big
Archimedes ship
00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:12.762
that looks a lot
like Sulu's Excelsior.
00:00:13.096 --> 00:00:14.848
We've got Sonya Gomez.
00:00:14.848 --> 00:00:16.558
We haven't seen her since TNG.
00:00:16.558 --> 00:00:18.184
She's back, she's a captain!
00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:20.437
We've got hull plating
that needs to be removed.
00:00:20.437 --> 00:00:21.688
We've got Cetacean Ops!
00:00:23.523 --> 00:00:26.276
I just love all the little
moments in this episode
00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:28.403
with Rutherford worrying
about Tendi with his memories,
00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:30.113
and Boimler diving
into the unknown,
00:00:30.113 --> 00:00:31.573
and Mariner realizing that
00:00:31.573 --> 00:00:33.658
maybe she shouldn't push
everybody away all the time.
00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:35.076
You can still improve yourself
00:00:35.076 --> 00:00:37.037
by just opening
up to other people!
00:00:37.037 --> 00:00:39.164
You are always
trying to change me.
00:00:39.164 --> 00:00:41.541
I think Mariner is
upset that her mom
00:00:41.541 --> 00:00:43.543
is leaving the Cerritos because,
00:00:43.543 --> 00:00:45.503
you know, her mom
does everything right.
00:00:45.503 --> 00:00:48.131
Even though Mariner thinks
that's kind of stupid,
00:00:48.131 --> 00:00:49.382
it does hold value.
00:00:49.382 --> 00:00:52.052
People in Starfleet
need to be by the book
00:00:52.052 --> 00:00:53.845
so that Mariner can not be.
00:00:53.845 --> 00:00:55.889
Because I'm
a Kirk-style free spirit
00:00:55.889 --> 00:00:58.141
who kicks butt and it
super intimidates people!
00:00:58.141 --> 00:00:58.933
You know that!
00:00:58.933 --> 00:01:01.519
It's an ecosystem
that needs to operate
00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:03.980
in order for Mariner to be her full
00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:05.315
chaotic but helpful self.
00:01:05.315 --> 00:01:06.858
The other part is just,
it's her mom,
00:01:06.858 --> 00:01:08.401
she wants her
mom to be near her
00:01:08.401 --> 00:01:09.819
as much as she
acts like she doesn't.
00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:13.490
And it's kind of
an overall indictment of
00:01:13.490 --> 00:01:16.409
California class ships
as being non-impressive.
00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:18.453
That's such f***ing bulls**t!
00:01:18.453 --> 00:01:20.497
We are just as good as
any other f***ing class--
00:01:20.497 --> 00:01:21.998
And that's insulting to her
00:01:21.998 --> 00:01:23.583
and her friends and her family.
00:01:23.583 --> 00:01:25.835
Hey Boimler, my implant's
messing up my vision.
00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:27.504
Can you take
my shift in Cetacean Ops
00:01:27.504 --> 00:01:28.546
so I can get it fixed?
00:01:28.546 --> 00:01:29.380
Sorry, I can't.
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:31.174
Captain Freeman Day's
only a week away!
00:01:31.174 --> 00:01:33.218
Boimler has an interesting
story in this finale
00:01:33.218 --> 00:01:34.594
because it starts and he's just
00:01:34.594 --> 00:01:36.304
totally dedicated to butt-kissing.
00:01:36.304 --> 00:01:38.807
He really just wants Captain
Freeman Day to go well.
00:01:38.807 --> 00:01:41.059
There's a busted hull panel
we need to release manually.
00:01:41.059 --> 00:01:42.977
Tendi and I can override
the safety protocols,
00:01:42.977 --> 00:01:44.354
but one of you guys
has to swim down
00:01:44.354 --> 00:01:45.522
and release the mag clamps.
00:01:45.522 --> 00:01:48.024
It ends with him doing
something super scary
00:01:48.024 --> 00:01:49.984
that Mariner seems capable of.
00:01:49.984 --> 00:01:52.070
He ends up almost drowning
while he's doing it.
00:01:52.070 --> 00:01:53.822
These moments
of Boimler being brave,
00:01:53.822 --> 00:01:55.698
you've seen it
across Season 2 as well.
00:01:55.698 --> 00:01:57.033
You saw it with Agimus.
00:01:57.033 --> 00:01:58.743
They're not
first season Boimler.
00:01:58.743 --> 00:02:00.286
He's a different dude,
and this is
00:02:00.286 --> 00:02:01.287
one of those culminations.
00:02:01.287 --> 00:02:03.331
He almost dies for
the good of the many!
00:02:03.331 --> 00:02:04.541
He's Star Trek
through and through,
00:02:04.541 --> 00:02:05.959
and I'm just really glad that we
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.460
gave him a hero moment
this episode.
00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:09.420
[Rutherford panting]
Ah!
00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:12.632
Amongst the
highjinks of the finale,
00:02:12.966 --> 00:02:15.093
Rutherford has
the moment where
00:02:15.385 --> 00:02:17.512
he's not in the
reality that he's living.
00:02:17.512 --> 00:02:20.390
He has a flashback,
but that moment
00:02:20.390 --> 00:02:22.433
makes him think for a second.
00:02:22.433 --> 00:02:24.727
Is there things about his
life that he doesn't know?
00:02:24.727 --> 00:02:27.355
These little,
little hints are going to
00:02:27.355 --> 00:02:28.690
give us more and more into
00:02:28.690 --> 00:02:31.067
Rutherford's mind,
and to his background,
00:02:31.067 --> 00:02:33.403
and see how Rutherford
is going to change
00:02:33.403 --> 00:02:34.946
come Season 3 as well.
00:02:35.071 --> 00:02:36.990
You shouldn't be
treating phaser burns.
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:39.492
I'm moving you into senior
science officer training,
00:02:39.492 --> 00:02:41.202
Wait, like, to work on the bridge?
00:02:41.202 --> 00:02:44.289
I think that Tendi,
being promoted,
00:02:44.289 --> 00:02:45.874
she is a bit of a people pleaser,
00:02:45.874 --> 00:02:47.792
so obviously
having this recognition
00:02:47.792 --> 00:02:49.752
is very important to her.
00:02:50.044 --> 00:02:52.755
On the flip side,
how she's going to rise
00:02:52.755 --> 00:02:55.008
to that occasion
and come out of that
00:02:55.008 --> 00:02:58.219
and come into her
own is yet to be seen.
00:02:59.387 --> 00:03:01.806
You can get promoted,
but it's what you do with it.
00:03:02.098 --> 00:03:04.434
She can grow from it,
or can get into a lot of trouble.
00:03:04.684 --> 00:03:06.853
Little ship,
but a big warp core.
00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:08.438
Listen to that thrum!
00:03:08.438 --> 00:03:11.274
I think that Tendi and
Rutherford's bond is so strong.
00:03:11.274 --> 00:03:15.737
They complement each
other's nerdiness in a way that
00:03:15.737 --> 00:03:18.198
the other characters
don't necessarily get to have.
00:03:18.198 --> 00:03:21.284
They've got each
other's back so, so hard
00:03:21.826 --> 00:03:25.622
that if they feel like
what is going to happen next
00:03:25.622 --> 00:03:27.790
for them is going
to make them happier,
00:03:27.790 --> 00:03:29.083
they couldn't
have been happier.
00:03:29.083 --> 00:03:30.376
I love the Cerritos!
00:03:30.376 --> 00:03:31.878
I have for a long time now.
00:03:31.878 --> 00:03:33.379
And no one
can tell me otherwise!
00:03:33.922 --> 00:03:36.090
I love the Cerritos, too!
00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:37.467
I guess it's kind of like any
00:03:37.467 --> 00:03:39.093
sort of soulmate relationship.
00:03:39.385 --> 00:03:41.304
It's hard to describe,
but you know
00:03:41.304 --> 00:03:45.183
they just are a
perfect match in that way,
00:03:45.183 --> 00:03:46.851
in the way that they
complement each other.
00:03:47.644 --> 00:03:48.436
Cetacean Ops?
00:03:48.436 --> 00:03:49.646
But don't these
guys do navigation?
00:03:49.646 --> 00:03:51.689
We finally get to show
people Cetacean Ops.
00:03:51.940 --> 00:03:54.442
It's one of those things
where, if you love Star Trek,
00:03:54.442 --> 00:03:56.152
you've probably
come across Cetacean Ops.
00:03:56.152 --> 00:03:59.280
It never featured in the show.
It was briefly brought up.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.823
It's in the technical manuals,
00:04:01.115 --> 00:04:02.992
and it's just something
you like to talk about,
00:04:02.992 --> 00:04:04.619
but it wasn't something
we'd seen on screen.
00:04:04.786 --> 00:04:06.996
When we were talking about
the finale of Season 2,
00:04:07.372 --> 00:04:08.623
a lot of the talk is always,
00:04:08.748 --> 00:04:10.250
"How do we make
this feel like a finale?
00:04:10.250 --> 00:04:11.209
How do we go out with a bang?"
00:04:11.209 --> 00:04:15.380
The answer is to do
everything that brings us joy.
00:04:15.380 --> 00:04:16.547
Brace for impact!
00:04:16.547 --> 00:04:19.676
Seeing a big action
sequence, saving the day,
00:04:19.676 --> 00:04:21.302
and one of
those big things was,
00:04:21.302 --> 00:04:23.346
let's really show Cetacean Ops!
00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:25.556
Let's meet the beluga
whales that work there,
00:04:25.556 --> 00:04:28.476
let's actually give people
something that we love
00:04:28.476 --> 00:04:30.103
and that hopefully they will too.
00:04:30.103 --> 00:04:31.437
The reason
I like them so much is
00:04:31.437 --> 00:04:33.022
they're almost like
the peanut gallery.
00:04:35.066 --> 00:04:36.651
They get to
shout out the jokes,
00:04:36.651 --> 00:04:38.569
they get to almost
be removed from stuff.
00:04:38.569 --> 00:04:40.363
And at the same time,
they're Starfleet officers,
00:04:40.363 --> 00:04:42.031
they're in cute little uniforms.
00:04:42.031 --> 00:04:43.783
You'll see Cetacean
Ops in Season 3,
00:04:43.783 --> 00:04:45.493
and moving forward it's just
another part of the ship.
00:04:45.493 --> 00:04:47.537
And then you
end on this note where,
00:04:47.537 --> 00:04:49.914
end of first season, the Cerritos
00:04:49.914 --> 00:04:51.416
had to get saved by the Titan.
00:04:51.416 --> 00:04:53.293
End of second
season, the Cerritos
00:04:53.293 --> 00:04:54.377
is the one doing the saving.
00:04:54.377 --> 00:04:55.837
To the Cerritos!
00:04:55.837 --> 00:04:58.464
The whole crew has to
work together to do that.
00:04:58.464 --> 00:05:01.718
At the very highest high,
the captain is taken away,
00:05:01.718 --> 00:05:05.138
dragged away by Starfleet
security for a crime that,
00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:06.097
did she commit?
00:05:06.931 --> 00:05:07.849
You're under arrest
00:05:07.849 --> 00:05:10.310
for the destruction
of Pakled Planet.
00:05:10.310 --> 00:05:11.769
The Cerritos crew
didn't see her do it,
00:05:11.769 --> 00:05:14.355
but she certainly has
hated the Pakleds all year.
00:05:14.355 --> 00:05:16.316
We're ending this season
and we've already been writing
00:05:16.316 --> 00:05:19.110
Season 3 where
that's a huge deal.
00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:20.653
The Cerritos crew
has come together,
00:05:20.653 --> 00:05:21.738
and now they're broken apart.
00:05:21.738 --> 00:05:23.197
We're going to have to
see where that goes.
