Talks Acting Challenges And Star Trek History In Her ‘Strange New Worlds’ Episode

'There was so much rage at the Metron. And in that moment of just absolute, ‘what is happening?’ And I also tried to put into that, like, how often do we feel that? I always take it back to how Star Trek is so much about life, right?"
I expected this to be excellent and it was. Erica Ortegas got her own episode and got an opportunity to confront her trauma. I was not expecting the Gorn. I was not expecting a friendly Gorn. When the landing party arrived, it was pretty obvious the Gorn would be shot. I did not see the Metron coming and the whole "test" quality, but I suppose I should have. Tied up loose canon ends for skeptic fans. Metron is very coloring book though.
Oh good, another insane Starfleet admiral.
Has someone inspected the replicators at Starfleet headquarters? I swear there's gotta be something in the water.

You have to admire the old man's grit.
They had to overwrite holosuite data with the transporter patterns of the Orinoco's crew?
Guess they didn't know about M'Benga/Scotty's self-refreshing pattern buffer trick. Pity. I can see why M'Benga would want to keep the technique a secret, but once Scotty was pulled from the Jenolan, why the hell wasn't every transporter in Starfleet retrofitted to do it automatically when needed?
Then again, DS9's transporter isn't of Starfleet design. Maybe it *can't* do it. 🤔

Garak: “I think I joined the wrong intelligence service.”

Watching #AlienEarth reminds me that the #Alien franchise is very much the anti-#StarTrek. Instead of a future with a socialistic utopia and extraterrestrial beings that inspire us to be better and expand our horizons with near-magic technology, Alien gives us a capitalistic dystopia where extraterrestrial beings kill us and we explore the stars in retrograde technology that saves corporations a few bucks. It’s really quite brilliant.
I enjoyed watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 the first time because it coincided with my experience with fatherhood, which was so central to Benjamin Sisko's character. And now, all these years later, I am so happy to revisit these stories and still find this North Star to be true.
