8 Ups & 1 Down From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3.2 — Wedding Bell Blues

5. UP — A Name For The Unnamed Nurse Ensign

"Been waiting so long to post this. Ensign Gamble, reporting for duty! (I don't actually say this line)," noted actor Chris Myers on Instagram yesterday, picture in the doorway of a turbolift and all. Welcome aboard!

Though Nurse Gamble is not named as such in Wedding Bell Blues, we do learn that he was temporarily assigned to the Enterprise to cover Nurse Chapel in her absence. He impressed so much over the three months that his "direct supervisor," Doctor M'Benga had already requested that Starfleet Medical make his transfer permanent. "I like you, Ensign," noted Una. So do we! So do we!

We got to see more of Gamble a little later in the episode, now in civies for those cocktail drinks in the port galley. We'll forgive him for the rather endearing faux pas when Spock arrived, too. He is pretty new to this crew, after all. It also gave us the chance to see Doctor Korby's brilliant deflection away from a suddenly awkward "romantic story".
