As a long-time Star Trek fan, I must say that the final season of Lower Decks has been an emotional rollercoaster. The “Boimler Maneuver” will forever be etched in my memory as one of the most iconic moments in Star Trek history, thanks to Jack Quaid’s performance and the internet’s unrelenting fascination with it.
Season 5 of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” has just started, marking the end of this animated comedy series within the larger Star Trek universe. Fans are feeling a mix of sadness and excitement as they reflect on the fun times they’ve had while also looking forward to new Star Trek projects. For instance, remember when everyone was shocked by Jack Quaid’s character, Boimler, appearing naked in a holodeck simulation? That moment is still fresh in the actor’s mind, and it’s a topic that keeps coming up among fans.
The day after the release of “I, Excretus” on Lower Decks became available for streaming via Paramount+ subscription was quite intriguing. Despite being the most explicit moment in Star Trek history to date, fans have embraced it and often reference it, making it a significant part of Jack Quaid’s Bradward Boimler character’s legacy. Ahead of Season 5’s premiere, I spoke with the actor about his thoughts on this, and he shared some unique insights that not all actors get to experience.
Without a doubt, that move created quite a buzz online, didn’t it? Honestly, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride. It’s truly remarkable. At gatherings, fans often show me images of that maneuver, and I sign them on the solid square. Yes, indeed, it holds significant importance in Star Trek. Remarkable, isn’t it?
As he answered, the actor chuckled, possibly reminiscing about instances where he had to discuss an event he wasn’t actually a part of originally. Notably, Jack Quaid reenacted the pose in real life at Star Trek: Mission Chicago, and it’s delightful to know that this image will endure on the internet eternally.
More On Star Trek: Lower Decks
Star Trek: Lower Decks stars Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome shared with us how creator Mike McMahan has significantly enriched the Star Trek franchise: ‘McMahan essentially flipped everything on its side.’
It’s worth mentioning that when fans of Star Trek were debating if the “Boimler Maneuver” was too bold for the franchise, Jack Quaid appeared unfazed by it. This is because he was juggling voice acting for Lower Decks and his role on The Boys at the time. Compared to the graphic sex scenes from the Prime Video series, a censored nude pose seemed rather mild to him.
It’s been expressed that Jack Quaid and the cast of Star Trek: Lower Decks hope the series will carry on, however, it remains uncertain at this point. Interestingly, Tawny Newsome is working on a live-action comedy and seems open to her voice-acting peers making guest appearances as new characters within the show. Additionally, there may be chances for the Lower Decks storyline to persist in comic books or even a film, but we’ll simply have to stay tuned for updates about what lies ahead.
At present, keep tuning in to “Star Trek: Lower Decks” every Thursday on Paramount+. So far, the last season has been off to an excellent beginning, and I can’t wait to find out where the story goes from here, following the initial few episodes.
