Star Trek: Lower Decks star Tawny Newsome shares her favorite, hilarious memories from filming the crossover episode with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Newsome and Jack Quaid brought their animated Lower Deckers, Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler, to live-action when they came aboard Captain Christopher Pike's (Anson Mount) USS Enterprise. In real life, Newsome and Quaid hit it off with the cast of Strange New Worlds and formed genuine friendships with their fellow Star Trek actors.
Tawny Newsome exclusively told Screen Rant about some of the antics she got into with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast members Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Ethan Peck, Rebecca Romijn, Melissa Navia, and director Jonathan Frakes. The wacky chaos in the Strange New Worlds crossover episode also translated off-camera. Check out her quote below:

Oh my gosh, I mean, there's so many things. I could just spit random things out to you. Chrissy Chong and I probably breaking COVID protocols and going out and dancing in a crowded disco pizza restaurant, and dancing on tables one night. Celia [Rose Gooding] really wanted to eat cheese puffs in one scene. And finally, Jonathan Frakes took them away. He was like, "No cheese puffs at the scene!" And she was like, "Why? It looks cool." He was like, "In fact, it does not."
Ethan! Ethan [Peck] is my darling sweet friend. I just love him to death, and he really allowed me to say a lot of objectifying things about his face and body because I was like, "The fandom wants this. The fandom wants Mariner to thirst after Spock. So do I have your permission?" He gave me permission, and what ended up in the episode is not even half of the probably disgusting things I said about him. But he was such a good sport. Rebecca Romijn is one of the funniest women I've ever met, and she is so, so funny and good on camera. I wish he got to do more comedic moments on that show.
Melissa [Navia], I didn't know before we'd gotten started. And Melissa has a real aversion to strange liquids. So those Orion Hurricanes traumatized her. They were green Gatorade, and they had like coconut milk poured in them, and she was going through it. She was having a rough time. I do not blame her. (laughs). She was a trooper.
