Security alert! This article contains Spoilers For “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” Season 3, Episode 9.

One of the biggest challenges facing any series of science fiction or imagination is to help the masses suspend their lack of believing and really investing in some of the most unitary ideas. Fortunately, a little writing and serious performance can be made a long way to do so, creating reliable characters in a completely indisputable setting. On the Paramount+ “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, one of the characters who feels accredited is a lieutenant, Helmman Erica Ortegas, which Melissa Navia plays. Hotshot and pilot The former soldier in the Wars of Clingon It has become a major favorite of fans, for a good reason, but what really helps Navia to enter its personality?

I had the opportunity to chat with Navia via Zoom and I asked her everything about entering the Ortegas head in the third season episode “Terraium”, where the character ended, they were cut off on an abandoned planet on the other side of the worm hole of the institution, Besited with the pilot of Gorn who fell. Looking at the fact that Journal had previously seized Ortegas and then killed her almost during her escape, she has some dangerous luggage with brutal foreigners who were played throughout the third season. This part is difficult to really arrange, but Navia pointed to a moment earlier this season, after the wedding disruption in episode 2, where we can really see (what he feels).

In “Blues Bell Blues” fun and ridiculous, the Foundation’s crew ends Dealing with strange trelane (Rhys Darby) and attending a wedding ceremony between the nurse chapel (Jess Bush) and Facebook (Ethan Beck). While the wedding is stopped, he does not do parties, and everyone has Wonderful time dance on WAM!… except Ortegas, who smiles sadly and sees from side lines. It has recently recovered from its physical wounds from Gorn Escape and the mentality is still healing, as Navia explained:

“I love this scene because it is very painful, and I can attach to Ortegas at that moment. I know that many people can, where this is the case, something happens with you where you cannot celebrate it. She watches all her friends, and she is very happy so that there is a great time, but she cannot join her. She did not, but she is still chasing her.”

Although Navia did not deal at all, as it was a captive of Guren, her partner Brian Bannon lost tragicly due to acute leukemia between the first and second seasons of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, and she noticed that the loss and “Star Trek” are unworthy, and associated with Ortegas via shock. she Written once She and her personality “are now more strict than I imagined – more than you wanted ever”, and you can see him in these small but vital moments. There is a real weakness in Navia’s contact with her personality, and makes performance much stronger. But there is more than just a common understanding of the shock, because Navia also feels ties with Ortegas as a pilot.

Lieutenant Ortegas was not the first time that Navia played a pilot, as she starred in the role of the Eva Schafer on “New Amsterdam”, and she participated that she always wanted to try to fly for herself, until she was on a preliminary trip about 15 years ago to see if she wanted to have a trial license (she could not carry her in a working worker budget). In getting Ortegas toysHowever, she makes some of her experimental dreams, and she noticed that she spoke to pilots in the “Star Trek” agreements who “say Ortigas is getting it properly,” which raises great health verification. However, what is better is how her personality can have an effect on the future of flying and it achieves her past:

“To see young children come to me, (saying) that they want to be pilots because of Ortigas, which made me look at the history of female pilots. So far, I read a book entitled”Girls fly‘It is highly recommended, about the first days of flying, especially female pilots. It is very interesting that in playing the role, it is now inspired by history and women who came in front of me, and of course all the representatives of Star Trek who were men of the committee and men in front of me. “

I grew up in a family of the US Air Force and even worked in the high school in high school, and Ortegas is the first texture of the “Star Trek” show, which really seems to be a pilot in the situation and intensity. Sometimes a person is ideal for a role, and writing has helped by distinguishing Navia experiences and strengths. Not only that, but the vision of an American Colombian woman is a truly inspiring pilot, because she follows long traditions of women in “Star Trek” The heroes of real life inspired their dreams.

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is available to broadcast on Paramount+.
