EPISODE 10 -- NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS

Strange New Worlds Season 3 Finale BREAKDOWN & REVIEW

I finally finished the season-three finale for Strange New Worlds, but I'm not sure what I think of it. 

There were parts I loved and some I hated. I liked the party at the beginning and the way they were trying to get Pike to say "hit" at the end. Sometimes I wondered what the heck I was watching.

When Captain Batel turned into light and disappeared, I remembered how Kes turned into a light being on Voyager. I thought, "We've been here before."

Frankly, I'm going to have to watch it again to see what I think.

SHUTTLE TO KENFORI

Star Trek Goes Full Zombie in Strange New Worlds!

I'm not big into zombie movies (at all), so I'm a little leery about the Strange New Worlds episode Shuttle to Kenfori. It's all about Klingon and human zombies, so I'll go into the third episode of season three with trepidation.

I've begun watching the episode. I haven't been scared yet, although I jumped once.

The worst thing so far is Number One's hair (looks like a hairy helmet). On a scale of one to 10, it's a minus four. What were they thinking?

I finished. I wasn't scared at any point. I knew Pike and M'Benga would be fine, since they're part of canon. Captain Patel is not.

They've decided that the Chimera Blossoms will merge Patel's DNA with Gorn DNA. Which makes me think that Patel will be the Gorn that Kirk faces in Arena from The Original Series. Or not.

The B plot features pilot Erica Ortegas, being insubordinate to bad-haired Number One. We like Ortegas because of her quick wit, spunk and other great qualities, not because of insubordination. 

I likely won't watch this episode again.
