Star Treke only is the most important critical of her critics

In modernity Star Trek: strange new worlds The episode “What is Starfleet? Thanks to the unidentified task, it begins to ask whether Starfleet is an organization for explorers worthy of confidence or brutal warriors. Nevertheless, the unavoidable happy ending was lighting, because the answer to the question (that” the people “who make Starfleet what it is”) avoids how always always acted Starfleet.

A way to circumvent “What is Starfleet?” It is that we are watching a documentary in the universe created by a person who is making Captain Pike on board on board Captain Pike. Its document gets the lifestyle on the juice when the ship receives orders to receive its two sides in a conflict between two main planetary powers. This causes our previous journalists (Enterprise Ortegas) to start asking whether Starfleet is a truly charitable organization or just a military arm of an obedient empire: Union.

The episode concludes after Pike stops and finally about the depression weapon foreign And allow him to kill himself in a close sun. This leads to a friendly montage of the crew (including our leader who hosts a great party and a guitar) while Uhourra insists that Steplet is formed by those who serve instead of the opposite. I felt the end of rush (especially annoying when this is the shortest episode of Strange new worlds Ever), but the real problem here is that the final scenes seem designed for Gaslight fans who criticized Starfleet’s decisions.

This is because there is a lot to criticize Starfleet: Shortly before Strange new worlds We started, and we saw that Starfleet was ready to bomb the entire Klingon HomeWorld to end the war against this aggression Foreigners. Oh, the entire universe has been largely threatened with extinction to section 31, the crawling Starfleet Wetworks section that works without any supervision.

There are many examples of bad Starfleet behavior in other offers. in Next generationCaptain Picard is surprisingly calming with the forced transition of the original colonists to satisfy Cardianz. On Voyager, Captain Janeway Security Tuvix to implement without pity or remorse. Oh, Captain Cisco was complicit in the killing of Senate Romulalan Spees the ninth areaBut it “can live with it” because this was what it takes to get these foreigners who wear a battle with sovereignty.

I can continue, but you get the idea: Starfleet heroes have never hesitated to make terrible decisions in the name of the Great Good. Picard wants to avoid war, Cisco wants to end the war, and Jeanway wants two of its crew. But this desire to get their dirty hands reveals that Starfleet is greatly different from the loud, clean imagination they offer to the galaxy.

For this reason, “What is Starfleet?” Disappointing Star Trek The fans have asked for years but never answered them. Instead, we get a strange end based on feelings that mean that Starfleet cannot be bad just because the foundation crew is very cold. It seems as if the show wanted us to forget any possible criticism of this strong and influential organization just because Captain Pike plays the guitar when he feels.

As one of the fans who criticized (personally and professionally) of Skitvilite decisions, I felt “What is Starfleet?” He was trying to shine for me. The implicit conclusion is that Starfleet is good because our cold heroes are crazy, frankly on his face. Many bad guys in the privilege (including Q and Gul Dukat), but this does not prevent fans from criticizing their terrible actions truly.

This does not mean “What is Starfleet?” It is a bad episode: It is characterized by great puzzles, a way to fun, and a crunchy philosophical issue for chewing. But the documentary itself seems to be a little propaganda within the universe aimed at keeping anyone who monitors criticizing ever on Starfleet’s actions. It is very effective in informing critical viewers of stopping criticism of characters and enjoying the ride that may be created by Section 31.
