Strange new worlds, season 3, addresses the biggest contradiction to Star Trek

Security alert! This article contains Spoilers For season 3, Episode 7 of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.”

When “Star Trek” GENE RODDENBERRY first placed his vision of the symmetrical science fiction series, he wanted to put in the future where the Earth became a truly Utopia society. In fact, it was initially The “No Conflict” rule made the writing of “Star Trek” episodes in particular Under his watch. Starfleet, the arm of exploration and peacekeeping of the United Union of Planets, is supposed to be flawed with flawless ethical standards that are clearly in line with the Earth’s commitment to equality in equality. Unfortunately, not every person in the vast tributaries of the space is keen to follow the rules like Starfleet, which can make diplomacy a bit complicated.

Although there are many presentations and stories in the concession, Starfleet is only placed under any real scrutiny, and this is a kind of shame. Blind acceptance that Starfleet is the good players at all times, except for The Admiral is sometimes voidJust not really in line with the comprehensive “Star Trek” spirit even if you make Roddenberry feel warm and mysterious. It is when we see cracks in Starfleet and how individual officers deal with those moral contradictions that we see real championships.

In “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” “What is Starfleet?,” The Chebberto “Beto” Ortegas (Mynor Lüken) on the annoying institution, his sister Erika (Melissa Navia) and makes a documentary film on their matter on the very unusual transport mission. With the monitoring of the Beto cameras in each step and its drawn questions that challenge their intentions, the Foundation’s crew is forced to face to face with one of the biggest contradictions of the concession.

In “What is Starfleet?” The Foundation has been assigned to help a foreign transfer from its original planet on Tychus-B to Lutani-7, a world that is not pledged to war. The foreigner is the size of the tournament, and it must be withdrawn with a tractor package, but when the rebellion begins against its ties, the crew begins to ask why they are transferred to the creature. Beto investigates them at every turn, and discovered that not only the Lotani who is aggressive in the war, but the creature that is supposed to be transferred by the Foundation has been converted into a living weapon. It might be it just, but I am completely sure that the delivery of weapons (living!) May make the bad guys here. (It is also a little nose, as much as the American military souls go, but I am steadfast.)

It takes a lot of Beto investigations and some suffering on the part of the creature before some crew members stop blindly and start doing the right thing already. Although the characters that seemed morally appropriate have some disappointing moments, as they simply stopped any questions with their “classification”, others are clearly changing and will be more critical to Starfleet in the future. Since old characters like Kirk (Paul Wesley) will Certainly continued to challenge Starfleet in the futureHe feels only well.

In the end, Beto concludes that the true value of Starfleet is not Starfleet itself, but the individuals who make up the organization. Certainly, Starfleet may help them refine their skills and get incredible experiences, but in return they make Starfleet great. without The officers are ready to challenge orders and the current situationStarfleet cannot survive and actually stand on the ideals you claim to be represented.

The fake documentary episode was filmed in a mixture of still surveillance cameras, drones, and interviews with the crew in the same vein as One of the greatest episodes “M*A*S*H” At all times, it does not work well as coordination. “Strange new worlds” play with species and formats to the extent that they have become somewhat prestigious, and “What is Starfleet?” It is only the latest example. Despite coordination, Beto’s investigation questions and their press voice are important. Sometimes journalists in the real world are revised because they are Buzzkills or the transfer of heroes to the wedge by calling their mistakes, but it is very important to bear strong entities regardless of our personal biases. Beto’s documentary is likely to be slightly softer on Starfleet than if his sister was not a Crack Enverrise, but he still doubts Starfleet’s motives and potential corruption. Starfleet is basically the union’s military arm, for the better and worse, and this means that their hands are dirty.

Another series of “Star Trek” sometimes challenged the Septemberite and asked about its military situation, “Star Trek: Deep Space Ninth”. Captain Benjamin Cisco (Affiri Brooks) was not afraid of that Use sabotage methods to acquire the upper hand in the war Even Starroc Lofton, his son, was interrogated, but a journalist had some real criticism of Starfleet. Jake installed him in Starfleet rules and regulations and interrogated his father’s motives, giving the audience the opportunity to do this as well. Although both Beto and Jake are just young, they are doing their best to hold a huge organization accountable, they are reminders of the reason for the importance of the good press.
