I appreciate that they go through the trouble of finding the original actors to voice their characters in Lower Decks even though most people wouldn't notice if they had someone else do it.

From another article at the bottom of the page:

The fifth member of Nova Squadron, Jean Hajar, also appears in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4's finale flashback.

No, she doesn't.

@samus12345 @startrek In the opening wide shot of the Academy, there are 5 people walking along in Nick's group and then one waves goodbye and goes off in the opposite direction before we get close up on the group for dialogue. I think it's being assumed that person was Jean since the hairstyle and general body build seems to match.

Oh, really? Didn't see that! Kind of a weird choice to not show her up close with the rest of them.

[โ€“] billmason@mastodon.social 5 points 1 year ago

@samus12345 @startrek I didn't see it either until the Memory Alpha entry for the episode listed her as there.

I wonder if it was a case where they didn't have the original actress and/or didn't really have any lines for her. So why put her up front and center to say nothing and then fans complain that everyone else in Nova Squadron was back and talking and she wasn't.

I have no real idea, just speculating.
