The summertime is over, and the 3rd period of unusual fresh Worlds is almost over. In the U.S., there are 8 episodes of 10 planned. You can look at them from a fan position or from a normic perspective. They vary slightly. We will find here typical starter themes: star wars, exploration, Q, interstellar conflicts, holodeck, any existential divisions. SNW stands out for its romanticist character, these are permanent romances between the main characters. There's besides much about 1 affair, Spock. The structure is that episodes have their theme. There was no Borg yet and time travel, In period 3 of course, there are only mentioned erstwhile peregrinations of this type.
There are besides pathologies typical of Trek: exploration without suits, without reconnaissance work, etc. Bonding the action is frequently typically fairy tale, on the rule of turning the prince into a frog. A performance of space clashes a small naive, distances besides small. For normists, these bonds of action may be the most hard to swallow.
All right, now it's a spoiler:
SPoiler
There is simply a similarity to Orville, and they don't care about the storyline. We have an episode of Four-and-A-Half Vulcans in SNW where heroes turn into Vulcans. Vulcans are specified a star species with pointed ears. Like elves. And the wonderful serum turns people into Vulcans, which is nonsense. DNA change itself is not enough, interior structures, organs, psyche change, etc. No way. World-forming, too, is average, erstwhile you can change a individual so deeply, why not then? This is the Orville level that allows itself due to the fact that it defines itself as a parody. The second example is simply a multigenerational ship that evolves into a plan more technically advanced than the Federation. The crew was made up of 7,000 scientists, but it doesn't make sense. (Note that there is simply a multigenerational ship in Orville too).
Unfortunately, these episodes save themselves from the general sense of adventure and formal experiments. It seems there will be a typical exploration, and here the exploration squad returns immediately and the full action takes place on the ship. We learn about Vulcans' differences, we learn about La’An's differences, whose transformation brings to the top various destructive psyche decks. In the episode What Is Starfleet? we have a pseudodocumentary, any guy records a communicative and how annoying it is. But I rapidly realized that it was a deliberate procedure, and it would all come to light. Similarly, in Ahsoka there are various unusual actions to resolve at the end. And here we have fundamental questions about the nature of our civilisation, the Federation, Starfleet. You can besides build an analogy to aid Ukraine.
In the holodeck episode we have an autoparody, with a distance shown process of shooting the first Trek. usually holodeck episodes (I will not explain what holodeck is) are utilized to reduce costs, you can usage props and scenery owned by the label. Is it akin here? We have an investigation with an unexpected ending and a rage of any fans.
Heroes can be divided into crucial and little important. The crucial ones are those who performed in Star Trek 60 years ago.
And here the alleged norm may wonder why any Kirk shows up on Enterprajs and writers don't even look for a pretext. But his character develops into the mark form we know. He's doing an autoparody in the holodeck episode. He besides plays an actor playing Kirk, which is himself.
Uhura and Chapel (Sister Chapel, inspired by the Sistine Chapel) must undergo any degradation. Dr. M'Benga is not at all. Captain Pike's love with Captain Bethel will not survive, Bethel goes to command for a court-martial position.
Heroes who did not appear in the first Series (TOS) are besides curious. The Ortegas Sternic, an icon of modernity, got her episode, where she struggles with Gorny, or alternatively with the thought of hotness.
In formal terms, we have simple measures applied, typical of ST: 2 threads in the episode, sometimes with a breaker. And it works, even from a average perspective. It is different from a fan perspective, waiting for a fanfiction. Normik may not realize the meaning of various pathologies, specified as crew numbers. If we have 10 heroes, why would the remainder of the crew do nothing? It's always the same group of people. In Expand, for example, it is well done.
Well, on Thursday, the final episode of the season, it's time to get ready for a summary of the show, accused of getting a young right-wing viewer. And that's good, let him get it. We're expected to be dealing with quite a few ratings with any media-review silence. They ignore the show as a good example of the cool SF.
