Worlds Strange New Worlds presented a documentary that must be killed in Tahrir

Star Trek: strange new worlds At this stage, it is clear that a series is not afraid to coordinate it Regular basis. It can lead to episodes of Star Trek Do not necessarily look or feel what we expect Star TrekEven if they are still playing with ideas and curricula that are appropriate for what the privilege has done for generations now. this week Strange new worlds Certainly, each of these ideas is suitable, with a new episode, a documentary film within the universe, and an episode trying to collect one of The oldest criticism From the privilege with one question: Is Starclit organized for scientific investigation or a military tool for the empire?

Unfortunately, this means that this episode wants to be two things at one time … and eventually failed amazingly in being.

“What is Starfleet?” It tells two stories at the same time. One is projectImportant to Lutani-an in compensatory civilization that requested help in a conflict with their sister’s world, Kasar, by transferring a large creature in the area called Jikaru, a giant part, a kind of powerful rule of forgetfulness. Soon it becomes clear to project A crew that, despite their strict orders from Starfleet, they have concerns about Lutani’s treatment of Jikaru and their intention to the creature in a war that they are badly losing. Although the story is not explicitly separated from the extent of the victims ’influence in the Lutani/Kasar conflict on their peoples, we have been told nine million Lotani perished, to “only” 119,000 Kassar compared.

There is an interesting group of ethics in playing here Strange new worlds It allows a wide range of characters to come from different angles, while giving “What is Starfleet?” A ton of capabilities. Ortegas does not trust Lutani because the species supported Klingons and raided Starfleet shipments during the Empire’s War with the Union. Pike and Una Bristle that Starfleet gives them orders to follow up without a complete picture of the situation on hand. Spock and Uhura hates having to follow these requests and instead dismantle an alternative plan to find ways to communicate with Jikaru himself. All this becomes a growing dilemma when project The crew slowly discovers that Jikaru is very strong, at least some Lotani objects to their government’s government’s plan, and eventually discovered that Lotani has been genetically designed and not mentally from kneading and death, while he is afraid that this will happen.

Ultimately, while the huge tension and explosions are escalating in Jikaru threatening to destroy project Before the crew was able to calculate morally with the fact that the living creature weapon begged them to get rid of it, project Conditions have evolved enough so that Starfleet command orders can be stabbed. Pike threatens the Lotani army with a very strong enemy in the union if they are not allowed project To accompany Jikaru to a close sun to turn to himself, Starfleet moves to place the Jikaru home world under environmental protection to ensure that Lotani cannot modify her children in similar results, apparently the Lotani’s departure apparently to defeat genocide and perhaps in their struggle with Kasar.

All this looks good, and for the largest part, it is a type of – get a vision of individual elements from project Bridge Crew Wresttle with orders no one necessarily agrees, for various different reasons, leads to some wonderful tension and friction. It affects the wider topics that the episode wants with that Star Trek He thinks himself of episodes and begins for decades: interrogating Starfleet as a simultaneous exploratory organization and military power that can be assigned either by defending the borders of the union or interfering in conflicts that are not pledged to impunity. What happens when these half of Starfleet should reconcile? Can they really be?

Unfortunately, what you just described is not the actual link of Strange new worlds That was broadcast this week. The actual episode that has been broadcast is an incredibly poor documentary by Ortigas’s brother, Beto (mynor Lüken), also called “What is Starfleet?” This has no idea what he eventually tries to do so before seeing that there is something to wander in the shots in any equivalent.

“What is Starfleet?” , both of them Strange new worlds The creation of an episode and Beto as a film/journalist manufacturer, is completely in this documentary, presented Star Trek. All that is mentioned above about the Lutani task interlocking via camera shots from various sections and stations on board projectOr via kinetic cameras. Either the technology of drones has not improved in a society where there is a faster transfer of light and the transfer of the material close to the investment, or that Beto is deliberately heading to a fragile aesthetic in the camera to lend to his documentary film Cinéma-véritéBut regardless, he is a terrible video photographer, as he repeatedly erecting cameras very close to people’s faces or picking up things with outlined angles and publicly made it incredibly frustrated viewing.

Beto is also a horrific interview attempt. Through all that is mentioned above, they are 1: 1 interviews that BETO runs behind the camera with various crew members. Some of them are better than others, and sometimes benefit from editing format to transfer the message that Beto wants (for the better or worse, as we will enter). It contradicts the interviews that Pike recognizes the Studlet duty to support the values ​​of the Federation, with explicit clips of leadership orders, or interviews with Layan, where it discusses the necessity of security and the option of the last line of training in training. But Beto’s documentaries in general suffer that he put a lot of himself on it until it is considered a difficult part of the investigative press, as the opening narration is presented, whether the union is a diplomatic entity working in a peaceful exploration of the gowns or a colonial empire with project Like a pioneering war weapon.

But on a large scale, most other interviews are Beto for “What is Starfleet?” At best, a clear attempt to build a pre-argument is investigated-80 % of the documentary, as with the random snapshot and the structure as it is, clearly aims as an exhibition of Starfleet as a bachelor’s entity, largely unexpected, and average, it is both. We have cut off footage of M’Benga and chapel nurses in saving the life of the Lutani world with fatal wounds by Jikaru after trying to stop project From her accompanying from HomeWorld directly to an interview between Beto and M’Benga, where the former was recently achieved his military service in the Klingon War. Likewise, in his interview with Oura – for whom was Beto This season was presented As a potential romantic interest – he surprised her harshly inspired that one of the only friends she made at the Starflet Academy was killed at the United States of America Cauga During events Conclusion last season Trying to stir the shock reaction, and benefit from their proximity in this process.

Repeated and over all over the largest part of “What is Starfleet?” Beto creates a very clear bias in its framing, with a little real concrete evidence outside the combat tone of leadership questions, or the phones that he tries to provoke by pushing his drones in everyone’s faces. He undermines the correct question at the heart of his argument about the opposition Starfleet duties and the ideals of the public, fictional or otherwise, because the documentary becomes less and less than this question, and more and more about the reason that Beto wants to ask a question apparently on the answer in the first place. Although he is largely out of the camera, “What is Starfleet?” Since the documentary film makes the documentary the topic – and although this is a completely reasonable approach to the means in several ways, it is certain that a documentary film has not for the back of what this documentary believes that the investigation of reports on board a military warship.

This did not help then about 80 % of the road, “What is Starfleet?” – Both the documentary and the episode – burns its vision over ten cents. After Oura communicates with Jikaru and learned her desire to get rid of the berries and the extent in which the Lotani made vital engineering in a weapon, we see a blatant sitting between her and his sister, as he was behind him from the corner, where she clearly tells him that he came to this documentary, with one point abroad. Madness because she was injured in the service of the organization she took from him. It is being told, in conjunction with projectThe decision to confront his initial orders and assisting Jikaru in killing himself, turns the final action of the documentary and the episode into a Nabil celebration of Sarvlit. In fact, everything is fine, and Starfleet is very good, and at the end of the day, the Chintzy interviewer tells us from Uhoura while the documentary closes on footage of project Bridge Crew Sharing Dinner in Bike’s Bians, Answer to “What is Starfleet?” He is the people who serve it.

However, “What is Starfleet?” It fails to be an effective documentary film and An effective episode of Star Trek. Even if the Beto anti -tile bias position has come out of any place in this episode, despite its previous manifestations, the result of the color change at the last minute makes both the documentary and potential criticism of the episode in Starfleet as the Assak Foundation. Framing the documentary means that the episode’s novel on the Lutani mission does not give the opportunity to cancel pressure and consider the emotional impact on any of our characters; They only appear to have fun and dinner together. Due to her presence in a documentary, Beto’s clarity of vision as a film director was distorted to a decrease in Flip from one side, from a successful piece to a piece of blow, because he told her a girl who loves her. If this is a real documentary, Beto, who changes his opinion, must completely rebuild it in the liberation process – even to put the fact that he entered into this process in a prior concept that was eventually challenged and proved that it is incorrect narrative brackets of the piece, if it was not just avoiding the final product of two different reliability.

“What is Starfleet?” , As a link and a documentary as a world within a world Star TrekUltimately, he does not have an idea of ​​what he really wants to say about the question that Star Trek Try to assemble more than half a century at this stage. If this is the case, Beto may have killed his story before it was played.
