If fan-service is well done and works well, then I'm in. And using Sito's death as a reason for Mariner's self-sabotaging behavior fits pretty well. I also like that we finally get to see Joshua Albert, the cadet who died during the Kolvoord Starburst maneuver.
There's just one thing which might be a minor continuity goof: When Sito stood up for herself to Picard in "Lower Decks", she mentioned she didn't have any friends at the academy after the events of "The First Duty". Meaning either Sito exaggerated or Mariner also turned her back on her and wasn't completely honest about it with Ma'ah.
Also, I've noticed that one member of Nova Squadron Jean Hajar is absent in this sequence.
0:04 Ah, I guess Jean Hajar is in the episode after all. At least I'd like to believe that's her waving to the rest of Nova Squadron before running the other way.
Am i the only one sad that Locarno died? I was preferred he was arrested and sent to jail, to see others to graduate and fly, while him will never see the stars again.
Saw a comment elsewhere that they did a great job making Cadet Albert look like the (late) actor who played Cmdr. Albert (Ed Lauter). Really beautiful attention to detail.
The crew from lower decks seems to have more adventures than some captains and the bridge crew. This negates the premise of Lower Decks where the crew always complains of getting the worse responsibilities.
this one scen fills in so much backstory for Marriner the reason she took boimler under her wing is cause he was EXACTLY like she was in her early career
They'll remember… end caps covering the end of this video 😵

If Mariner started the academy at 18, 13 years ago, then that's she is about 31 right now
Mariner with her sempai. Very Cute.

Talk about being cringe worthy this suxs
Sito Jaxa was Bajoran right?- If so, that makes her death all the more sad given she was killed by Cardasians – given there species’ histories.
Meh…bad episode.
Oh my God she was just like Boimler

What a tribute to one of my fav bajoran…
Considering that Wil managed to do a convincing teenage voice, can we have him be the LD's Q?
It’s weird but nice to finally see what Joshua Albert looked and sounded like.
Where's the fifth member, the one who died during the event?
and no one ever did
Mariner as a gushy bubbly school girl, it's uncomfortably charming.

So 13 years means that Mariner's in her later 20s/early 30s?! (I assume you wouldn't start at Starfleet Academy until you are at least 13-14)
