In “strange new worlds”, what is a little shock among friends?

Star Trek: strange new worldsThe third season had an embarrassing tone issue. Actually four episodes, we switched the episode to the very dark conditions (Gorne attack here, The outbreak of coma There) to a wonderful mockery ( A meeting with Trillin Here, a Holudic murder mystery there). Although these individual episodes did not fully succeed in varying degrees, this actually helped make the show feel a little bit. So, although this week’s episode is in fact another few light to darkness, the way he deals with dark project He does.

Initially, he puts “through the lens of time” itself as if it would go to the lined color key in the season – which makes the jump a little sudden prosperity of the novel between Spok and Layan, the initial hypothesis appears to be mature to a nice interview. the project Its services were provided to Dr. Corby to help from his last archaeological discovery: a series of artifacts that prompted him to the old ruin site, which is believed to be carrying the key to open eternity. With a natural chapel nurse to help her partner, along with Young Medical Gamble (the star of the third unintendent guest, Chris Maires) is keen to continue The first task away–Hey, does anyone hear a warning bell that rings in their heads?

Initially, our main quadruple is in a permanent state of “this is good, that is good, we are all fine” because they are trying to dance about the fact that Christine, Lyan and Facebook barely talked to each other since the last two became intertwined. SPOCK shows a very specific point that it is away from the Chapel and Korby mission, and runs it on board project With La’an while they were, besides Gamble, Uhura and Beto, they descend to the digger, and although it is clear that there is an embarrassing tension in the air, it is played again to a large extent. All of those concerned know that this is embarrassing and strange, they do not want that He says It is, especially while Corby has a lot of riding in his mission (especially, as it shows the point of speaking to a chapel about being ready to ask for help in Starfleet).

Although it is not widely based on the “Blues Bell wedding” and “space adventure clock”, everything seems, even with the broader seriousness of the task here-Star Trek Do you love her ancient ruins of an ancient civilization with a potential advanced technique even after the union exceeds it on hand – we are in an existing episode on Spock, Chaplin, Corby, Layan, and the first two in particular, learn to work with each other despite what is going on between them personally.

But “through the lens of time” turns the knife into almost something at the moment when the landing party takes place inside the old rubble, when the bold gambling goes into a strange group of corpses that are scattered in its ruins that they did not touch otherwise (there is this alarm bell again). To the top … and ExplodesDestroy and explode with the eyes of Gamble with it.

It is an immediate horror. Poor gambel screaming, white with his blood, stained with his blood. They are not burned, blind, or damage only; Samples goldAnd we see the heinous range of the remaining holes in his head. Suddenly, whatever the frustrations or friction that occur with the romances that the team involves far, everyone stands in a step to transfer the gambling to Sickbay, and La’an and SPOCK go to the planet at least temporarily stop, if not, on the Korby mission due to the sudden danger. Everything is placed aside: these are Starfleet officers, they deal with a gold position with a real side quickly.

Good… Mostly. Things immediately go from bad to worse: the rest of the decline party, now with Spok and Layan, you find themselves closed inside the old ruins, a defensive system that violently eliminates anyone trying to leave when they learn when their foreign guide is evaded. on-board project, It is also clear that it is also clear that this will not be a state of repetition of gambling a new pair of eyes and dealing with a painful injury: something has infiltrated inside his body, and whether the gambler has been rescued from being saved from saving it as well, it is completely different from the matter. project For its ongoing treatment – more at a later time).

Very quickly, this episode does not ask, “Oh is it, will it be embarrassing among all these characters because of the dating each other?” Suddenly, you ask, “Can these characters put this aside to get out of this alive?” The answer to this is yes, of course, because two -thirds of the entire characters all need to move forward in the first place Star Trek. But this does not stop “during the lens of time” from the presence of some delicious tension significantly as things continue to deteriorate inside and outside the planet. In the ruins, the invalid party is more separated thanks to some flat protection in a timely manner, forcing Layan and a church to stabilize each other, and Facebook and Corby to allocate the latter’s lack of confidence in Starfleet, but mainly, one of them does not exceed-not exceeding.

Inside and outside projectEveryone closes. The team is far away by returning to each other and discovering the reason behind the presence of rubble in the first place, on board, while dealing with the soul – an old non -wall of evil type called Vzda – which makes it clear that Gamble air to try to seize the publication and The sudden brutal Patel, which appears to be given an inherent branch through its experimental treatment. The doctor M’Benga managed to spread the situation with the Vezda (with a little firearm from Pelia), the editing of the Gamble body and contains the malicious spirit. Everything is tense, even with the Ping-Pongs episode between the rubble and projectBut it can be said that it can be said Star Trek Best porn efficiency: a group of people who, at one moment, be friendly and wandering about the repercussions of the social relationship in the workplace, and then, when they face an indescribable danger, put it aside to take their jobs and do the best of their ability.

He speaks, as Spock says to a chapel because they discover that it is the key out of ruins The last crusade-Ian is an invisible bridge of walking, faith, on trust, two ways between people. All of these are Starfleet officers, implicitly, regardless of what is going on in their lives and even among them, at the end of the day, when their appearance is against the body of their paragraphs, they can trust each other to counter a problem and deal with it. Which in itself is a nice message to remind viewers when it comes to this universe and a much better alternative to consume this episode through the drama between Corby, Chapluk, Spock, and Layan.

But it is also a secondary point for the real heart “through the lens of time”: regardless of how much our heroes love Starfleet in the moments of the crisis Strange new worlds Recently, they live an incredibly dangerous life. Life that can, as I learned very early, can be brutally in a moment.

Just the effect of Young’s death on your personal reaction – it was just present for a few episodes, and if there is a great weakness in “through the lens of time”, this is not supported by the indication that something Very bad This character will occur approximately a second person who opens a personal record registration. Strange new worlds He does not in particular try to extract his death due to the dramatic lament or that the characters act as they knew it for years and years – part of the shock of his death, beyond the ghost brides after his death, is that he is still a relatively new member of the crew, and now he is, with great violence, no.

But his death is important for a series, so far this season, may have been based on a little bit of the tone where, even in harsh situations, project I got out of things very easy. The death of gambling is the necessary punctuation point Star TrekThe love of the amazing people who perform their functions very well: sometimes it will not be enough when they face the risk of going boldly and paying the limits of your understanding. Sometimes wonders may reverse anything seen in thousands of years; At other times, you may get a shit that shakes with an explicit evil spirit. To continue regardless of these capabilities is what he does Star Trek The series is.
