We chat with StarTrekSNW star Melissa Navia (melissaCnavia) about Lt. Erica Ortegas getting the spotlight in season 2, episode 4, and delivering on the promise of Mortegas:
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 4 - "Among The Lotus Eaters"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fans have clamored for more of Lt. Erica Ortegas, and Melissa Navia is proud that season 2, episode 4 delivers on the promise of #Mortegas.
Melissa Navia On Lt. Erica Ortegas Saving The Day In Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 4 Screen Rant: Months ago, we saw the clip of Ortegas being denied joining the landing party. But now we get to see the whole story of why she couldn't go to Rigel VII. Let's talk about that. Rigel VII emits radiation and wipes everybody's memories. A very classic Star Trek plotline. What I loved about Erica's story is that when she loses her memories, her reaction is kind of innocent and childlike. It's almost like we see the pure essence of Erica, especially in the way she talks to the computer. I really love the way all that played out and the way you performed it.
Melissa Navia: I think, and I've been saying this since the beginning, and fans have seen it, that there's just this great camaraderie among the crew. Everyone really looks at each other as someone who is confident capable, highly skilled, and is worthy of the Starfleet name. And I absolutely think that Erica thinks that of Spock.
We are going to see more of her backstory as a soldier, which I love. Because we definitely did not touch on enough of that in season 1. There's so much more Ortegas in this season, but I'm like, you know what? I think fans are still going to be like, 'We want more!' Which is a great thing to know that that's going to happen as an actor [and] that fans want more of the character that you are playing.
