For Melissa Navia, hearing from actual pilots and soldiers that her character is among the most authentic onthanks to Lt. Erica Ortegas’ gallows humor is just about the best compliment she can receive.

The actress knew that the Enterprise’s tough helmsman was something special as soon as she auditioned — and Navia was determined to be a part of the Paramount+ show. She succeeded and brought her unique charm to the role, making Ortegas a fan favorite. This week’s season one finale sees Ortegas — and the rest of the crew — in a different light, as they are in an alternate timeline for an episode that wonderfully mirrors “Balance of Terror” from. The episode is notable for the surprise guest appearance of Capt. James Kirk, played by Paul Wesley, but also for being the second instance in the series of the cast playing a version of their characters outside the “usual”realm.
