Gooding concurs with the import and nearly overwhelming aspect of recording a personal log. "We get all of that in one episode, and we get to really play with Ortegas wanting to get off the ship, but also really her home is the ship, and she wouldn’t have it any other way." That whole episode, we get to really play with when you love what you do, and it kind of becomes monotonous, and you have to remember why it is why you love what you do and why you do it and why you’re the only person who can do it the way you do it. "So that was very exciting, and the fact that episode was Ortegas wanting to go to a planet, wanting to get off the ship. We get to learn more about her as a pilot, as a soldier, and as a crew member and a friend that her crewmates trust, are loyal to, and that has a place in this Star Trek world." You’re going to see a lot more Ortegas in Season 2. And it speaks to the nature of our ensemble cast that the camaraderie that we have made people feel like not only do we want to be a part of that crew, but we want to learn more about the person that we know the least about. That speaks to a little bit of what I did. "But they were like, 'For Ortegas, we wanted so much more.' That in and of itself was such a huge compliment because that says that what we did with so little, we made so much out of. In Season 1, even though I feel Ortegas was an integral part of every episode, I get what fans were saying where we got so much more backstory and interplay between legacy characters, and we learned a lot about La’an. "I am very satisfied with what we’ve seen in Season 2, what the fans are going to see. Navia also hints that Ortegas has lots to do in Season 2 and believes the fans will love it too. I think the stoicism with little hints of humanity and vulnerability that he’s so desperately trying to find is so well-portrayed in Ethan’s version of Spock. "He does such a wonderful job of paying homage to those mannerisms, the cadence, the voice. I think it’s extremely difficult to play Spock. Look, I echo everything that Ethan just said. "And then in terms of his embodiment of Kirk, I think he just brings so much charm, magnetism, he’s devilish, and I love being on the other side of the camera from him when we’re doing these scenes." He showed up to the party with much the same approach and strategy. "Paul was so careful and really took it very seriously and was very measured in his approach," Peck details, "Which I really love to see because I think all of us on the show really accept the burden of these iconic characters and are excited about it. Reflecting on their time working together, the actors take a moment to comment on what they admire about the other's approach to their role. I’m not going to take any credit for it because I wasn’t a part of it until the very, very end, and so I’m just grateful to be a part of this fantastic series with these really brilliant actors and brilliant writers and, frankly, more importantly, nice people." It’s a huge, huge undertaking, and these guys did it so brilliantly. "I think it’s very hard to create a version of a show that is so beloved. "I came in, shot a few scenes, and next thing you know, Season 1 premieres, and everyone’s in love with the show, and it has all these brilliant reviews. Ethan, of course, was part of the Discovery. "Look, I came in the season finale of Season 1. Wesley, as a later addition to the cast, has a different perspective that is no less positive. "I'm just so thrilled and excited to be part of an amazing production and team of creatives." I don’t know what to expect because we do our job, we carry the baton for the time that we’re there on set, and you just never know how it’s gonna turn out. "When I saw the first two episodes premiere in New York, I was really taken aback by the high level of quality that I was suddenly a part of. "I think now he’s still trying to figure himself out, and part of the fun of playing this character - pre-the Kirk that we all know - is to slowly evolve and develop the mannerisms or characteristics or the cadence. But I think it would be a mistake to automatically be that version of the Kirk that is part of the canon. Wesley takes a different tack for Kirk, "Well, I certainly think about it. I think that we will see Spock at least go through many different types of exploration of himself, and he may appear more human at times or more Vulcan at times, or who knows how else. "I would really task the writers with that job. "From a performance perspective, it’s so difficult to keep all that in mind because we are so far from the beginning of the original series. Knowing there's a 50+ year history of their characters, encompassing all of TOS, TAS, and the feature films, are the actors mindful of their characters' future selves?
