TV Strange New Worlds season 4

Between Kirk dying alone and knowing David will die by being stabbed, and having to see his brother die, they really played future Kirk's greatest hits.

Super spooky episode. Looks like La'an is still in the nightmare.

 

[Dr Dave]

I'm already enjoying this season more then the last one. Though we still have the Muppet episode to come...

Supposedly the muppet effect will be due to a "transporter accident."

Personally, I think Pike's hair is a transporter accident.

I’m not sure if I like that they didn’t explain the cause, but it is novel. I guess a scientific explanation might take the edge off of how spooky it was.

Definitely unsettling.

I also wondered about the shot of George in space. I guess Kirk could still see him a bit at that point, unless he was in the lift already? It seemed a bit unnecessary to me, like the long closing shot of the dinosaurs last week. Did they have extra budget to spend? We knew he was dead already when his intestines got sucked (sorry, “blown”) out.

Everything wasn't just in their minds or the shuttle wouldn't have been destroyed, their fears became physical objects was my take on it.

 

[Cassie]

It kind of reminded me of Empok Nor.

Oh yeah, another scary episode that’s made more creepy because the location is a sister ship/station where things have gone very wrong.

Everything wasn't just in their minds or the shuttle wouldn't have been destroyed, their fears became physical objects was my take on it.

An evil version of “If Wishes were Horses...”. Makes sense.

And now light and fluffy, and what might be an incredible nod to the amount of digits James Doohan had.

Also a very TOS style slap.

4.3 - If this had been an episode of Lower Decks it would have been 22 minutes long and probably funnier. LIke, yeah, there were some funny parts: Una singing 'Total Eclipse of The Heart' in Klingon, the incredibly dumb but somehow funny reveal that Spock is seeing Ortegas and Scotty as plants, and a third example. Scotty and Ortegas making friends was nice. Was it enough to justify spending 10% of the season on, especially when we know there's a puppet episode coming up? In my GRUMPY opinion: no. It wasn't shit like '2 and a Half Vulcans' or anything but I'd have preferred something else.

I really don't like what they're doing with La'an this season. I know this was a comedy episode but I don't really have faith (of the heard) that they'll handle her better when it goes back to "normal."

I don't really get what Chapel's story was? She smashed a glass on the Enterprise then she got all intense playing bingo?

Doohan lost his middle finger so I wish they'd had Scotty lose the same to really make the reference work (ULTIMATE NIT-PICKING.)

The bit with M'Benga cocktailing at the end was so obviously not the actor really doing it that I wonder why they left it in the episode. Was it really vital to the story?

CLEARLY I HATE EVERYTHING.

 

[Cassie]

I think the entire point of the episode was for Scotty and Ortegas to become bffs. None of the other characters mattered. It was super goofy, but some of it was okay.

That was clearly the point. And I found all of it to be completely hilarious.
