“Only in a leap from the lion’s head, shall he prove his worth.”; Through the Lens of Time. Strange New Worlds S3E5 Review

It's been a season of big ideas so far with mixed results. But as we hit the Bon Jovi marker and get half way there, the season seems to hit a high note just by dialling it all down a touch with a story that could be boiled down to a simple puzzle.Roger Korby joins the crew again, leaning on them to help lead an expedition to some ancient and mysterious artefacts. Suspiciously similar to the final discovery he'd make as a human in the original series, he's found what's possibly a fountain of youth – a scientific idea telegraphed in it's fantasy with it's ritualistic sacrifice, or 'blood magic' – a sample of your blood – to enter. Once inside the expanded landing party realise they're not the first to find this ancient building as previous treasure hunters have […]

La’an Party; A Space Adventure Hour. Strange New Worlds S3E4 Review

Picking up a random assignment, La'an takes on the challenge of being the beta tester for a more domestic version of a training simulator to find out if the technology is viable for entertainment and training on board deep space assignments And of course, it all goes horrible wrong. Writers: Dana Horgan & Kathryn Lyn Director: Jonathan Frakes   Opening with guest star Paul Wesley doing a Saturday Night Live level of parody of William Shatner, from the start we know there's nothing but shenanigans ahead. The setting is the USS Adventure, a not really starship thats home to a fictional 1960's drama. Though it's not the on screen performance that causes the problem. Behind the scene's there's conflict between unhappy cast members, producers struggling with their next career steps and of course some murder thrown into the mix that needs an […]

Gorn But Not Forgotten; Shuttle to Kenfori. Strange New Worlds S3E3 Review

Complications arise in Batel's treatment following the Gorn incident and things are beginning to get messy. With a plan in motion to Tuxiv their way out of the situation, M'Benga takes Pike on a road trip to a banished world on an off book mission to find a cure. But as the Enterprise waits, they realise they're not alone.... Writers: Onitra Johnson & Bill WolkoffDirector: Dan Liu So far Strange New Worlds has been at it's best when delving into the darker parts of it's characters and their passionately kind chief medical officer has a past that's just too fascinating not to enjoy. Last season we found out that M'Benga had a bit of a split career during the Klingon War. He ended it as a field doctor, but started in black ops missions. So bringing him along for a […]

Make A Wish: Wedding Bell Blues, Strange New Worlds S3E2 Review

After three months of repairs following their run in with the Gorn, Nurse Chapel is bringing a friend home just in time for the crew to have recovered from the ships rebuild in time to celebrate Federation Day! Or maybe a wedding....? Writers: Kirsten Beyer & David Reed Director: Jordan Canning   It's only episode two and we're already hitting our now traditional 'lets f--k with Spock' episode. This time round, despite a warning not to from Chapel, Spock's getting himself in the romantic spirit to woo her back. He's got an antique book, he's figured out how dancing works thanks to La'an, who's just as surprised as the rest of us she can dance, and of course, it doesn't go to plan. Mainly as after three months of studying with Roger Korby, they've done a wee bit more than […]

Natural Gorn Killers: Hegemony Part II, S3E1 Review.

After a rescue mission gone wrong, half the crew have been captured by the Gorn, the Enterprise is on the wrong side of the border, Captain Batel has been fully aliened and the order to retreat and regroup has come through and in the middle of it all stands Pike, pacing his way through a season break and a writers strike to finally answer his first officer asking for orders. Writers: Davy Perez & Henry Alonso Myers Director: Chris Fisher   Opening right where things left off – with Pike realising his noble plans had turned to chaos – there's really no hesitation in the action. There's camera twirling, snap decision making and even giving Mitchell some day saving ideas as Pike plucks the best ideas Picard style to figure out his next move. From there it's a three story […]
