My dear, “Star Trek: new strange worlds”

in San Diego Comic Con 2024Paramount disturbed the first look at Star Trek: strange new worlds‘The third season with a clip that has proven to be somewhat confusing. It seems that the latency without a context witnessed Pike, Chapel, La’an and Uhura, apparently to Volcans, the clip immediately sparked a discussion about the sudden Spock treatment by Volcan crew.

What did he do? Strange new worlds I think he was doing a scene of the harmful harassment we played in a new season? Why is the display be installed in full on only Looking at Spok Heritage Through the lens of horrific discrimination? I did a Star Trek It appears only to make racism a genetic feature!?

Quickly forward slightly over a year, we now have the full end result of this scene in its context with the release of “four and a half and a half of the corrupt.” I have great news! The episode is not racist.

Good. it’s not Frankly So. It is a kind of, because it is less than an hour of jokes about incredibly lukewarm stereotypes that are assigned as essential elements of Volcan culture that tries to disguise as a scandal of the camp. But at least racism is not hereditary!

This … the type of all we have, really.

Well, it is clear that it is not all we have, really. It cannot be the matter for an episode as a chaos and full of strange paper ideas such as “four and a half of the astronomy”, especially those that fail almost every level to implement even its most well -ideas. It is an episode with strange concepts of Volcan. It is an episode with strange concepts of sex and romance. It is an episode with strange concepts on how to finish stories. It is an episode, in the end, very eager to scream.We are making ridiculous!“In her fans, he does not really think about the context that all this farce places, whether in the same episode or in the broader context of the season.

It may be appropriate, then, to be “four and a half and a half of the astronomy” that presented a first look at the third season, before we know how much everywhere around the season. An episode you want to deliberately ignore the context of its place and narrate it, and inspect SANS more context, and seem poorest on it? Outside the context, it seemed rough. in The context of what we saw in Strange new worlds The third season so far, it may be worse, although it is not in the way in which many people were afraid.

“Four and a half Volcan” sees project Expect a short period of beach vacation, just to boycott a special request from Volcan’s upper leadership. Before the war, civilization, who is visited by the astronomer before it has developed the non -interference policies that would determine the main direction (and have kept hidden since the founding of the union), suffers from a potential radiation leakage that could cause a nuclear collapse. With Volcan’s inability to help, project It is assigned with the help of Tezaar, but given the fact that they have not yet faced other strange races – and they do not have sufficient technology of sufficient survey that can prevent it cosmetic denial to other types of astronomy – a long team must carry the genetic amendment to show Volcan and provide global assistance.

It turned out that this team is far from Pike, Lan, Oura, and Church, which, as we all saw in the clip that was released more than a year ago, soon became Volcan, and they soon completed the task, and soon became a big shyness for Facebook because it is “logical” that they treat it less because of its half -Human biology. The crisis with Tezaar is not the axis of “four and a half and a two -Volcan”; The focus instead focuses on the imminent Sheneghan who comes when the team discovers away that it cannot be easily returned to humanity.

But the episode is still rooted at that strange moment of racist prejudice, regardless of the speed that the episode tries to dance around. Literally later, the narration from the UNA record guarantees that the narration from the Log Una, depends on the presence of the astronomy, through its transformation, on the basis of a formula derived from the live Spock experience, has also been granted a superior incitement to Volcan cultural history. But the interpretation is one line of the hand -concluded for the moment we already feel much worse in the context: it was Literally last week only In “What is Starfleet?” Spow explicitly revealed, directly to the camera, a childhood accident of self -harm and distortion of an accident that was reported to be half a human being. The two people in the scene that they sarcastically to Facebook are his captain and one of his best friends in Pike, but also Lian, who we know now in a romantic relationship with Spok.

No manual saving can hit how strange It is this “Hijinks” episode at this stage of the season, and you only speak to that Strange new worlds The desire to obtain it in both directions with its elements that allow it to continue and form arches through the season and what you want to forget and move to it in its occasional coordination. “Four and a half Volcan,” however, it is quickly a kind of loop that you want to move from itself, just think ever, “What is a funny thing we can do with all these four characters stuck like Volcan?”

Unfortunately, the funny thing is that it is the same thing for La’an, Chapel, Pike and Uhura: It is to make them all shackle the cardboard that has been vibrantly overwhelmed with the pillar of astronomy and rhetoric in social ostracism and acute humor. It is the same gag, broken through four separate arches. It cannot be said that La’an is the most different, and the region in which “four and a half and a half Volcan” takes on a distance an interesting idea: the astronomical tremor is manifested instead as an aspect of the discovery of Romulalan Pararanoya. project And start a war between the stars.

But even Which – which It is located in the same type of style of each of the rest of the Falakan characters in the episode: All their stories end up in control. La’an wants to control the ship, and through it, the galaxy (before someone else can control it instead). Oura takes advantage of her relationship with Beto (just as he tried in the previous episode!) Chaplin, discharge Dr. Corby first and then all her friends, believing that by controlling her “trivial” social life, she can devote her time to scientific research better. Even Paik’s story revolves around an idea of ​​sexual control when he ruins a Patel meeting with Admiral Volcan, who is responsible for the Starvit Judicial Branch about a possible return to service there, because as a captain of Van, he now knows what is better for her in a conversation with another Volcan.

but Strange new worlds There is nothing in particular interesting to say about any of these stories other than “Haha, these astronomy are definitely a mockery, right?” It is not fun to be derived from this type of scenario –Star TrekHe was out of Volcans and stopping it from the beginning! – But “four and a half of the astronomy”, at every opportunity, chooses an easy excuse to get out of his hypothesis, which is already fraught with risks enough to engage in the harmful tone on which it was built, by engaging only in a simple and cheap blow.

This applies evenly to his decision as well. When Volcan Pike, Oura, and the Church of Al -Musalla, agree that it makes sense to eventually reject treatment to their condition and stay Volcan, Ona and Facebook, a plan to communicate directly with both the affected crew (Volcan concept of the soul). To do this, they recruit a previous group of Una, Volcan Catrick expert … called Doug (guest star Patton Ozwalt). The joke, of course, is that Volcan is obsessed with human culture, but it is really just another pretext Strange new worlds Screaming to her fans, “Look, we are ridiculous!” Instead of doing anything especially funny.

Ultimately, “four and a half and a half Volcan” is another case Strange new worlds Struggle to engage beyond the surface level with what you are trying to deal with – whether it is a tone, coordination or a kind, it has proven the series’s willingness to explore a variety of methods for itself that it is much broader than ever.

And as much as its hypothesis is in the first place, the link is unlimited to empty its view of Volcan’s culture, either internally or externally, even after the hand waves of most of the affected crew return to normal (La’an, The Final Holdout, convinced of a mental brief match with Spock, because … Being Nunin Singh? It seems to be an excuse to pay a fighting sequence in the end in the end just.) It is unreasonable to engage in comedy that exceeds basic levels, and to rely on knowing that the offer has been rewarded and celebrated Being a little nice With her fans. You cannot be crazy If it is ridiculous, because the episode knows it is ridiculous, after all!

but Strange new worlds It has been rewarded and praised on that experience and prepared to enjoy in the past because at its best, this ambiguity was not allowed to disguise the depth of the surface level. The second season’s musical episode and The lower floors Cross Perhaps the best examples – the episodes that were, on the surface, remain a ridiculous escape that are still able to have important effects on our heroes and weight as part of the brackets of their characters during the season.

“Four and a half of Volcans” is just one tiring joke after the next until suddenly overcoming the re -setting button in time for the next episode. Strange new worlds It could be much better than that, and because it was not as bad as some people were afraid of coming, this perception does not make less frustrated.
