Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Page 11 of 14)

The set looks just like lower mainland BC where they filmed SG1, and the second I saw the ancient building, I said, it's gotta be a labyrinth and they'll probably get trapped in there, lolz, yep, and then the demons jailed in the building reminded me of the Goa'uld and they behave much the same, hell bent parasitic hosts, and then to get out of the labyrinth that's phasing (not a new idea) she had to step in faith just like the Last Crusade, gong!

Episode 1...pretty decent sci-fi episode, but...
How they "defeated" the Gorn was way too easy.
They can't have it both ways, either the Gorn are a highly advanced predatory species or they are animals who regularly go into hibernation.
Even if you accept the Hibernation cycle, I don't think they should've been able to trick them so easily.

Episode 2...for better or worse it was a funny episode...
I get that Spock didn't have any contact with Nurse Chappel but what about everyone else on board?
Surely she would've told some of her friends that she has a new boyfriend, right? And maybe even Ltd. Singh...but no that would be inconvient for the plot...

Episode 3...did not like premise of the episode...
Did they even try to consult other doctors before throwing a hail mary with a plant from a zombie-planet?
It's not like they are in the Delta quadrant and have no other option than to depend on themselves...maybe there is an allied race with more advanced medical capabilites?
Overall the idea that Batel was treated on the ship for three months is also stupid.

Episode 4...pretty decent Star Trek Episode...
Whenever there is an episode about Holodeck, something must go wrong Of course that makes it predictable but I still liked it.
They could've addressed a little bit that it's weird to see people you know in a realistic simulation as completely diffent characters, but there was no reaction at all from Singh.
Uhura inside the simulation talking about the influence of a show like "The Final Frontier" on kids was well done - paying homage to the fans.
As much as I liked the episode, the end credits were my favorite part

Episode 5...An homage to Sci-Fi
Yep, the first scene we get from the planet looks straight out of SG1. Even the gear and boxes reminded me of it
The temple and the rooms reminded me in a sense of "Cube" which coincidentally also featured David Hewlett (Stargate Atlantis).
Gamble vs. Bartel or "Alien vs. Predator"
And yes, of course, Indi with only in a leap from the lions head shall he prove his worth
The problem is, Indi didn't really have the option of anyone safeguarding him - here they had plenty of people who could grab hold onto Chapel before she took that first step...

Before you shift back in phase, shouldn't you make sure no one stands in the same spot? Guess they got lucky...

Making them human descendants of a 200year old mission gone wrong opens up thousands of questions which should take the rest of the season to answer - but knowing this show, by the next epsiode all will be forgotten...meh.

And they couldn't safe anyone? Even without transporters they still have shuttles...but guess they actually would've had to write some of the backstory then...meh.
But no, they rather throw in a reminder of the current environmental crisis - no thanks, I can read the news myself...

I don't think any other episode managed to make it look like a starship crew consists of only 10 people more than this one.
