Nick Locarno . He ’s a planet now , by the elbow room . I can talk about it now . I had to keep my lips shut out for a yr , but I can talk about it … It was a blast . It was a bam . Mike [ McMahan ] , the creator and showrunner of Lower Decks , he called me a year ago . Maybe even more , I ca n’t recollect … Actually , he did n’t even call me . He message me and he said , “ I do n’t know if you ’re interested . I ’ve beat this musical theme . ” He did n’t even tell me what it was . “ I ’ve got this thought for Lower Decks . ” And I ’d already done [ it ] … I did Lower deck the first time of year or 2nd season as Tom Paris . Season 2 , did a Tom Paris home plate thing , which was screaming . Loved that bit .
So he called me and was like , “ I ’ve got this theme but I do n’t wanna do it unless you really agree to do this . I do n’t wanna do it unless you ’re concerned . Call me . ” So I called him and he sort of pitched out this matter . We ’re gon na have some sort of dark side … He cant out this whole idea of some kind of anti - Starfleet , mysterious affair , and then it would be revealed that it ’s Nick Locarno … In his pitch , I think it would have been more episodes , and they were gon na tease in my voice as a sort of secret voice , and so that the audience might initially think , “ Oh , Tom Paris has go bad . ” And then when you finally see him , it ’s Nick Locarno and not Tom Paris . But I think that they shrunk the telephone number of episodes . ‘ Cause I think that ’s a hard one to sustain , to make it last six or eight or whatever the original theme was , to really string it out for a farseeing prison term .
Star Trek : Lower Decks season 4 had an explosive finale pitting Lt . Mariner against her former Starfleet Academy classmate Nicholas Locarno .
