Among other things. SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! New Life and New Civilizations is basically an episode of Doctor Who. Consider: trans-dimensional aliens science indistinguishable from magic timey wimey Space archaeology threatens to unleash an ancient, all-powerful evil Oops. The hero lives an entire alternate lifetime in a few minutes speaking of timey wimey… What’s happening, SNW?…

Sibling rivalry
Little Erica was never thrilled to have a little brother. “It is clear you find your brother very annoying.” Most of us do, at some point. Younger siblings impede and interfere. Older siblings bully and exclude. It doesn’t have to be that way: younger siblings may admire their elders, and older ones may support and look out for the younger ones. Some children are more selfless than others. “A…

It's time...
SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! This was the episode we’d all been waiting for. “Agreed.” Everyone’s favorite pilot has been having a rough time. A near-death experience, a bad call at the helm, a friend’s betrayal, an annoying but irreplaceable baby brother, have all begun to wear her down. Now, finally, she gets a ship to herself, where her courage and competence take center stage. From…

How many Vulcans...
Too many? Or never quite enough? SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! There are as many ways to be Vulcan as there are to be human. Subjected to the unknowable effects of Chapel’s jury-rigged Kerkhovian serum, each of our quasi-Vulcans finds their own way. Captain Pike wants a well-run ship. He wants to be a good captain and a good host. Vulcan Pike’s enhanced perception notes the gaps in efficiency…

What is Starfleet?
The documentary episode reveals two truths: SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Beto is a dipshit. Orders are irrelevant. One: Beto Beto boards the Enterprise, much to Erica’s annoyance, bragging about the opportunity to make an “official” documentary. It’s all bullshit: from the first voiceover it’s clear he’s an amateur, with a closed mind and a poison pen. Uhura calls him brave for asking his…

Crossover
In case you were wondering – SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! – this time, it’s real. The TARDIS has landed. The Doctor and their companion run through the corridors of the scavenger ship, trying to change hearts and minds and rebuild a way of life. We know they fail – but maybe they manage to save one or two in the process. “Someone. Please.” Meanwhile, Kirk gets the command he always wanted,…

Monsters of the Mind
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is important: I’m not seeing enough appreciation for the fact that, after so many episodes of the Gorn as these creepy space monsters that the entire Federation trembles before, SNW introduced us to “the monster at the edge of the map”. This horrible, extractive, indiscriminate enemy, feared by all who live in the edges of space, “a monster even to the…

Through the Lenses
SUCH GOOD CHARACTER STUFF! The Doctor Joseph M’Benga remains steadfast in the face of a broken heart. The four ex-wives were a clue: divorce after divorce, he never gave up. Nor has the loss of Rukiya tempered his willingness to love another young person, a boy who might have been his son – and whom he must now mourn. Somehow he fails to shatter under all this grief. Perhaps his persistent…

This is It
I’m way behind on posting, and I hate to be out of order, but I really need to express how grateful I am for E9. Spoilers below. Finally we get Erica, in all her aspects: arrogance and terror, triumph and despair, humor, compassion, persistence, affinity, love, and grief. We see the skills she has and the skills she lacks. We see her at her best and at her worst, and we see, finally, how deeply…

The Z-Word
Don’t say it: SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! In which Pike and Ortegas make the same mistake and face the same consequences. And also there are zombies. “Don’t call them that.” Captain Pike’s once-casual relationship with Captain Batel has grown into something that terrifies him. Having tried and failed to push her away, he’s now dominated by his feelings for her. He risks his entire crew to…

Boys and their blues
You know the drill: SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Wedding Bell Blues is about two things: Spock’s inability to let go, and Christine’s inability to stand on her own two feet. To be fair, the introduction of Korby went much better than I expected. With a single line, the script obviates my fears of a creepy student/teacher relationship: Christine quickly transcended her assigned role to become a…

Strange New Novels
I haven’t watched the latest episode yet, because I’ve been busy with this: It’s the third SNW novel I’ve read, and the best. And not just because it features #mortegas. The prior novels were both good, but too narrow in their focus. High Country is a strong story in a great setting, with lots of Una and Uhura, but its focus on its four main characters leaves much of the crew underused.…

"And now, the conclusion."
As you might expect: SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Hegemony Part II overflows with action, emotion, heroism, and gore. First: The Gorn Never mess with a Noonien-Singh La’an is done being afraid. She knows now how strong she is; her memories propel her forward, rather than holding her back. She will get her team out of danger and save every single colonist. And she will shoot a giant lizard…

First thoughts
It goes without saying: SPOILER ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! The conclusion is here, after a nearly two-year wait. What I got: La’an gets leader-y Sam gets science-y Erica flies the ship and saves everyone’s lives What I didn’t get: Oh my OT3… No reunion scene for Christine, Erica, and Joseph. The show continues to lean hard on Spock/Chapel and other straight ships: Pike/Batel, Chapel/Korby, and…

"Mark" mark II
I stand by my recent assessment that the best episodes of the era are not written by Davies or Moffat. Kate Mara is unimpressed. I’m not excited about the return of Ruby Sunday and her evil boy toy – this Doctor doesn’t need a white savior, and we have too many obnoxious Proud Boy villains already in real life. I’m not a fan of convoluted Moffat-style storylines, as they too often fail to pay…
