“Strange new worlds” have a peripheral brain

Strange new worlds He enjoyed this season. From Naghami’s imbalance To the episodes that swing for the tricks to deal with the material questions they raise, the offer The depth has been circulated There is no expansion in terms of a variety of spaces you explore. But there is one thing that has become clear throughout the season, which becomes crying in the penultimate episode: the only time that the show is ready to violate and focus really is when he wants to ride on CoateTails a trip This came before that.

Now this is something the offer to achieve great success before – most often by overcoming this initial step from the amazing context in relation to the original season. that it The final of the first season“The Quality of Mercy”, the perfect mirror of the stadium to one of the greats at all a trip Stories, “Balance of Terrorism”, while they are still woven with caution against rotating it on things through the Bike Arc with its future fate as is the first time in discovery. Until this season, “Sehlat that ate his tail“It was clearly prepared as a prior knee in the young Jim Kirk mode alongside his colleagues in the future project But it is still focusing on telling a new story on Kirk’s struggles with the cruelty of leadership.

Unfortunately, “terrarium” failed to do something in a similar context, and a flattening story that is predicted with one of its most permanently deprived characters in Erica Ortigas-the list on the episode that would be in the middle of the road, which actually makes it look forward to looking forward to looking for there to be what you do for 60 years. match.

“Terraium” focuses on a wrong exploratory mission, when Ortegas is sent on a single trip to plan attractive fluctuations in an area of ​​space, only to find its shuttle that was swallowed through the appearance of a sudden worm, and activated in the nearby ore. With a little hope in the rescue and with the emergency supplies it caused to the accident, Erica must find a way to survive for a long time to communicate project It still exists, while the besieged bridge crew struggled to search for it before it is called to provide vital vaccination supplies to a struggling colony.

The hypothesis is great, which is He should It was a long-awaited offer for Melissa’s Navia pilot, repeatedly and repeated Strange new worldsJust be stuck with individual identification features (it is “flying the ship”, which has become excessive to use the continuous tape by the beginning of this season). The third season tried to do something with her in the climatic moments of the first show, which indicates that her meeting with Gorn during the conclusion of last season would humble the loud lieutenant because it transmits post -shock disorder, but this season (and the desire to re -appoint the situation in its accidental form), she greatly ignored this.

yet. Of course, we learn Erika and soon she is not alone on the surface of the moon on which she was disrupted, and found herself saved from the skiing of local wildlife by an overlap in the form of a gorne. But regardless of a preliminary moment of shock, none of “Terraium” really relates to dealing with Erica with her shock or constant feelings about both Journal and her role in the Union War. In fact, although it is the central point in a championship, the episode does not have much to say about Erica at all.

We do not learn a lot about her a lot or see a lot of her operation during her experience. She can only start linking with Gorn that saved her when she realizes that Gorn is a female and a pilot – Pretty many of Erica’s only features of knowledge as the same character. The one -sided joke is mostly one -sided, as with some Tricorder, Erica can only communicate with GORN directly through positive/negative questions. It is also a relatively simple episode, with a little challenge to Erica and GORN outside the time of the coming storm of the gas storm that sits with wealthy on the sidelines of their slow exploration of common themes.

Star Trek She has made many episodes about imposing two unlimited characters in a stressful situation, just to see them overcoming the obstacle of communication and survival. There are rings such as “Rise”, which return to Tuvok and Neelix while working together to fix the tropical elevator in VoyagerOr “climbing” in Spees the ninth areaWhere Quark and ODO should help each other climb a mountain while they were cut off on a planet. There are more brain episodes about enhancing communication, such as Tng The classic “Darmouk”.

But “Terraium” has nothing to say either about his hypothesis or its central nature because it is expected to move from Beat to Beat, or anything about its central struggle over Erika’s past with Gorn. It can be said that it is almost Forgotten This conflict was present in the first place, as Eric was almost immediate project (Mainly Ohurra) Work and work to find ways to continue to search for their missing colleague so that they cannot.

So when “terrarium” reaches this inevitable conclusion – Erika and Jorn discovers a risky method to ignite a gas storm to serve as “luminous” to alert project Since he wipes desperate Moon after the moon – the ring has a last chance to say something when one thing happens at least. While La’an and a security team arrived at Erica, as it exploded from the protection pod and Gorn was formed to repel the fiery storm, there is no time for Erika to explain the context, so Lyan and her officers simply shoot the Gorn Dead, a lot to the horror of Erika.

Again, the capabilities exist, even if the episode does not really put it. After Erika’s perception of The Gorn turned to a large extent through this experience, she is sad about a reaction, before a ring, she agreed to it could have been an interesting place to leave things, but “Terrarium” just spent 50 minutes of minutes that immediately ignored this change, Irika was good in this moon with one of the moon. We do not see that this shift actually occurs in the narration, so its disorder is largely hollow.

But this no Where the episode ends. The team also returns (and Irica sudden) projectEverything except Erica freezes for a moment. A floundering light I noticed in the distance here and there throughout the episode, lights up brighter and brighter to reveal a human form, and barking, and faded in sparkling clothes … immediately shows that they were testing more ways between humans, Gorn Pilot, Gorn and Metron, and the types that will inform Erica immediately here. A warrior to the goal of each other in events Iconic a trip episode“The Square”.

“Tearium” is not just a boring episode of Star Trekthen. By making it directly for “Arena”, it actively reduces actively by the inability to match the depth of the episode of approximately six decades. What makes the very great “square” is to admit that our hero, Captain Kerk, is incomplete. The test carried out by the metron in “Arena”, forcing Kirk and Jorn to fight to death to save the lives of their crews, asks Kirk wrestling with the primary motivation of violence from which humanity can be able to – from – Still It is able to do so, although a lot of overcoming to escalate to the stars. The closing conversation of the episode believes that Kirk directly recognizes Spock that, and the rest of humanity still constantly counts its common past and the history of aggression as they try to be better and adapt to the enlightened Utopia.

“Terrarium” has simply enlightened Erika Ortegas from almost the beginning. There is no conflict, either with its previous shock or with the previous brutal lens Strange new worlds He only saw the criminal through. They immediately link and continue, and the tragedy is that it has not been able to communicate this enlightened nature that I developed in the heartbeat in time for its colleagues in the crew (mostly because the exhibition was unable to win the circle on the presence of “good” on its path, thanks between the events Strange new worlds And the original Star Trek).

It is an episode that has a large weight or a large depth in a blatant contradiction with “Arena”, even without direct contact with the shoes. But by tempting this contact with good mind, it calls for the same comparison, and it can only coincide with that it is clearly not conducive to a six -year -old TV piece. There is no reinforcement through the presence of this episode with the “Square”, exceeding the truth of that Strange new worlds An increasingly obsessed, as it stares in a barrel from its end, with the fact that he must pave the way to the original Star Trek.

In doing this, only her characters and novels can do. But given the way a lot of this season was already gone, he was doing it already even without pre -inflammation.
