Those are the kinds of stories I really get excited about. Mariner’s sexuality to me has always been… she seems like the kind of character who can run into a villain and awkwardly Mariner had dated him or her before. So, it was important to me-from the point of view of Star Trek, having these people in your life and seeing where these stories go. It’s about how she sees herself, and how she treats friends and colleagues more than romantic partners. What I would say is it’s not easy to date Mariner, and this show really is not about Mariner’s romantic relationships. In the third season, and Jennifer are seeing each other and there are stories we tell about that. Speaking to io9 McMahan revealed there is more to come between the two: The season finale saw Mariner and Jennifer the Andorian finally bury the hatchet and begin to form a friendship. T’Lyn is coming back Mariner and Jennifer dating We get to see a little bit more about the Pakled homeworld and how Freeman is embroiled in the detonation and destruction of it. This will include a return to Pakled Planet: It’s really Pakleds, Pakleds being manipulated by one Klingon, and then them getting bigger and stronger than you could believe they could. The events of all the Pakled/Klingon stuff, the reason the Pakleds have Klingon disruptors, that does culminate in what has happened to Captain Freeman and is continued into the next season… But there is not a “villain in a villain” here. The showrunner also revealed to Syfy there isn’t more to the Klingon/Pakled conspiracy revealed in the penultimate episode: So, so much stuff is wrapped up that, it really just felt like that story’s not over-and I don’t want people to wait until next season to know the story’s not over? So, the promise of the stuff they’re going to be seeing in season three is why the end on this. Also, we’re always trying to find these themes of finality, but also the story’s not over.

The Klingons leave and they’ve got a new boss, right? There’s obviously things that aren’t quite finished with that story which do get addressed in season three. Speaking to io9 Mike McMahan explained why he chose to end season two with a classic “To be continued…” cliffhanger. We have cultivated some of the highlights, so SPOILERS ahead.
