La'An and Kirk time travels into the 21st century | Star Trek Strange New Worlds season 2 episode 3

[@tyro244]

I think the next Star trek Series should be Star Trek -TOS but begins at Season Four only a few month after Turnabout Intruder. It can be referenced casually, as will a story about a cadet or Ensign who misaligned a Tractor Beam and ended up leaving the Enterprise with a bent nacelle strut and that leads to Scotty redesigning both struts and warp nacelles that will eventually herald the TMP/WOK era designs for the complete overhaul of ALL the Connies into what was sometimes referred to as the Enterprise Class. For my money, that would avoid a whole lot of convolution and still give fans a proper continuation of the adventures of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, and all the rest with plenty of room for guest stars.

My only problem with this scene is the fact that Spock exists in the alternative timeline, Spock is half human because his father was a ambassador to starfleet and fell in love with his human mother. That shouldn't happen in this timeline tbh but whatever.

[@Fabian-Wenzel]

There is a great illogic in this episode, because the authors have totally forgotten how many chemical additives are in our food. La'an and Kirk would have to get terrible stomach and intestinal problems like cramps and diarrhoea, because we can assume that the food from the replicator is generated without the many chemical additives. We're used to it, our bodies rebel, not against it anymore, but La'ans and Kirk's bodies aren't used to it.

[@mightbesherwood1313]

Their artificial space food has… less chemicals? Fascinating.

[@Fabian-Wenzel]

@@mightbesherwood1313 Have you not understood how a food replicator works? The crew's feces are broken down at the molecular level, because that's the raw material. Using transport technology, the molecules are subatomically transformed into whatever food you want to eat. The replicator must have a catalogue with the composition of the target molecules. A level one replicator only makes food and drink, a level two replicator also makes food and drink but also clothing and medicines, a level three replicator is a so-called industrial replicator this is used to replicate spare parts, furniture, tools and power cells for the phasers. Books are also not replicated with it, because paper books can only be seen in museums. People use the so-called PADD for reading and writing, which is connected to the ship's computer. I think water treatment works similarly in that everything is beamed out of the water that does not belong in it. In the 24th century, people rarely shower and bathe, using sonic showers to loosen dirt and body fat from the skin. Since humans don't bathe or shower very much anymore, a lot of water is saved.

I'm not crazy about the Temporal Cops stories or time travel to current Earth. But I guess the producers were trying to work around Anson Mount's family leave.

[@magnusmg1324]

The two were transported back in time to stop an attack yet there was no urgency towards this end. It was secondary to the unconvincing love story which consisted of all the tropes from a bad rom com. So much time spent with the contrived and forced banter, eating hotdogs and relaxing in a high end hotel (just how much money did he win from those chess games?!) having introspective chats about anything but the threat of the attack. A truly awful episode.

No way this show is woke... is more conservative than TNG....makes fun of socialist utopia. Frankly I like this better than TNG and Picard. This show has the same TOS character that made this franchise.

[@cillcamst2]

Wait, what? How is it woke? Also, Federation has always been a socialist utopia.

[@shawnjohnson9763]

Star Trek was always what you guys now call "woke." TOS was constantly hammering away at racism and other social issues of the day. But everyone was OK with it then. In fact, that was one of the things it was praised for. Now people get all twisted up in knots over it. I don't mind people complaining about the writing or the acting or whatever. But if you don't like the occasional social commentary, then you've really missed the point of the show.

[@easyalpha1]

@@shawnjohnson9763 actually TOS had no problem dealing Cold War issues, as well as having a comparison of democracies and dictatorships. And using military force when necessary. Racism and technology worship also were dealt with non woke filter. Wokeness tends to want to destroy their political opponents instead of just defeating them by the ballot box.
