Uhura Demands To Destroy The Refinery • Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02E06

[@Sirtop13]

I love how fast Pike seems to trust his crew, from the very first episode when La'an suggests to raise sheilds and he immediately commands it.

[@Hendo56]

I love the little nod Pike gives when Uhura orders the firing of torpedoes...

[@Iceflkn]

An ensign calling the shots AND able to bring the ships weapons to bear! Whoa!

[@jimskywaker4345]

the kirk in this scene was great. That line about the metal is exactly something shatner's kirk would say.

[@inessavinon8691]

❤❤❤❤.❤ , 😅❤❤ c❤❤😅

[@paullopez6620]

I personally like how the torpedo were fired. Four in quick succession, then it was like they were fired when reloaded. Nice bit of detail.

[@matiasrocha317]

I love the development for Uhura in this episode . The character development in this season is peak perfection in my opinion 🖖🖖🖖 .

[@johnwang9914]

I realize it was just for the drama but there would've been severe official consequences for Uhura ordering the torpedoes to be fired instead of Pike ordering them to be fired on her request to do so.

Starfleet isn’t a military organization

[@johnwang9914]

@@jaklinhyde So says all the uniform personnel and ships armed to the teeth with the most advanced weapons that the Federation has. If Star Fleet isn't a military than what in the Federation is, and why is Star Fleet the only Federation organization at the front lines of every war and battle the Federation has. You can say it isn't a military but it still is.

[@jaklinhyde]

@@johnwang9914 The uniforms are for professionalism and you can’t just sit back and get shot at or run away all the time when trying to explore or conduct humanitarian missions. Better to be prepared than not be. Captain Archer of the NX-01 learned that the hard way

[@Gothic_Owl]

I mean, Pike nods confirmation of the order to La’an before the torpedos are fired. Pike’s still in control of the situation, he’s just letting Uhura take the lead because he trusts her judgement of the situation

[@robertlamb7513]

No there would not be the Captain's noded to the person the fired the torpedo was the clearance needed

[@Deltarious]

When the station blew up I wonder if Pike saw what I did- paperwork

[@safiremorningstar]

The thing that it shows also is there is the captain and he trust his crewman enough that if she says there is a Life form there, and that it has been trying to communicate that there harming it and this is what Hass to be done he only goes and let her do what Hass to be done but he also is concerned about her well-being enough to say, and after you’ve done all that go and take a nap and that’s an order it shows what kind of a captain Pike was. He was so much better than Kirk. please bear in mind that I am using voice to text and it doesn’t write things as I would write them but I cannot use my hands and this is the only tool I have that works so if it spells the word has as HASS at times it’s because it does what it wants and unless I am very clear and precise with my diction. It doesn’t necessarily get what I’m saying and I am not always precise with my diction. It is a part of my handicap.

[@tombo1984]

Uhura. You just had an alien species in your head potentially controlling you. But sure. Feel free to retake your station and after. Don't go to sickbay to make sure you are okay. Go to bed for a snooze. 😂

[@kingbeauregard]

I hope Jim Kirk remembers the lessons from this if he ever bumps into a Horta.

[@Caktusdud.]

Something tells me they didn't bother doing a proper survey of the deuterium before extraction. I know we do something like this IRL you when prospecting for oil and gas we have a look at what's being pumped. I mean after that incident a call for proper surveying will be needed so this doesn't happen again. Note Im not very good with star trek so I could be wrong.

[@susandaniels9733]

If only they were that on target with the gorn.

[@LordUzaki]

We cannot detect any lifeforms. We cannot see them, hear them, detect them on sensors, most telepaths cant detect them either. We do however have an obviously panicked and unstable bridge officer insisting we have to destroy this massively expensive and tactically important refinery right now. Welp, guess we just fire torpedos. Fuck it.

[@zombieshoot4318]

I can see why I didn't want to watch this show. How does Pike justify his actions when he has zero proof of any life form?

[@airrider-jk9ik]

its almost as if several other officers during the construction of this refinery had been showing similar symptoms so it was clear it was an outside force effecting them

[@jaywulf]

Just as well you're not in charge of training starfleet cadre :)

[@carycimino7699]

He trust his bridge officers completely if discovery had built relationships with bridge it would have been a great show all Micheal all the time ugh- can u name discovery’s bridge officers. We really like SNW characters makes show great

[@airrider-jk9ik]

Refinery

[@notapplicable-zn9us]

I wonder if military Officers or cadets at West Point have to watch the leadership qualities exhibited by Star Trek Captains like, in no order of preference, Picard, Sisko, Janeway & Pike?

[@kermitbohlen8401]

Honestly, I would hope not. Despite the military trappings and nominal military structure, Starfleet is NOT supposed to be an actual military organization in the traditional sense, and that's skipping past the fact that it's a construct of a tv show for telling humanist stories. It's far more humanitarian and exploratory than anything currently in the US military. You'd have to entirely re-tool the mindset of the US military before characters and storytelling like Kirk, Picard, and etc would become useful. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the US military re-tool for a vastly more humanitarian focus - but that's the kind of thing we'd all have to agree on as a nation, and there would be dangers involved.

Thank u

I counted 9 torpedoes. How many did you see?

[@Caktusdud.]

I saw 10

[@petergianakopoulos4926]

No independent verification? Bahahahha sure

[@ancliuin2459]

Another "little girl with paranormal abilities" character. I was so happy when they finally got rid of Tess in Voyager, now we have another one. *sigh*

[@indiajohnson]

You mean Kes.

[@ancliuin2459]

@@indiajohnson yes, thank you. I disliked the character so much, I even got her name wrong. :D

[@rickjohnston2667]

It was Kes, not Tess for one thing. Secondly, there's no indication that Uhura will continue to do this. It's probably due to her connection or influence by the aliens. Plus, she is the communications officer.

[@rickjohnston2667]

Kes wasn't a great character. But she wasn't a really bad one either. Unfortunately, the writers of Voyager just couldn't figure out exactly what to do with her.

[@Brian-pz3wh]

Sorry kids, but this is virtue signalling at it's best. Without independent verification this would simply not happen. But go ahead children award yourselves awesomeness all day long. sigh....

[@GladiusTR]

Hey, quick question, what the hell are you talking about and do you even know what "virtue signalling" is or do you just use words in a "when all you have is a hammer" philosophy? TOS had the characters act on whims all the time and that is considered a classic. Same can be said with other shows that are beloved, like Columbo.

[@stephenconnolly3572]

It's called science FICTION. Cool off and grow up.

[@Brian-pz3wh]

@@stephenconnolly3572 NO FOOL! it is NOT. This idiotic toxic garbage is coursing thru humanity and has made it's way to "entertainment". This set of "ideals" which you brush off as "science fiction" is actually a deep part of a lot of idiots decision matrix. and that matrix does affect you. and here you are utterly unaware of it. wow.

[@CarlosCardoso2amissao]

Like when Kirk and the gang hijacked the Enterprise on the off-chance of saving spock, just because a grieving father talked him into Katras or other religious nonsense?

[@GladiusTR]

@@CarlosCardoso2amissao To be fair, we all totally believe that Kirk would move heaven and earth just on a 1% chance it would save his friend's soul
