What the Hell Are You Doing Inside My nacelle? - Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02E06

[@Hendo56]

I prefer Hemmer. I know they told him he was going to be killed off. But I don't think they realized how popular he would become.

[@econdude3811]

Agreed, but the replacement has a certain worthy charm. Also, I doubt Hemmer was just average!

[@girl1213]

That's often how it happens. Sometimes the secondary characters get just as popular as the main characters or better.

[@assassin492]

Not to mention he’s the only aenar we’ve seen being a part of starfleet

[@Scottlp2]

Irascible (if that is right word) characters often have a certain charm eg the STD engineer.

[@jordanarnold563]

YES!

[@Shadowkey392]

“Hemmer was one of my best students…I’m sorry, I said that because he’s dead. Actually he was just OK.” God help me, I love this character!

[@ExWEIMan]

I wish they would include subtitles when she spoke as I can hardly understand what she is saying with all that croaking.

[@catsupchutney]

Carol Kane portraying Carol Kane.

[@PostprandialTorpor]

Ghost of Christmas present has always had a punchy personality, at least she’s changed occupations

[@OptimusWombat]

@@ExWEIMan there aren't any subtitles on this video, but there were definitely subtitles in the streaming episodes I watched.

I miss Hammer so much . He's is very unique . I love the chemistry between Uhura and Hammer in season 1 🖖🖖🖖 .

[@JohnWinchester3567]

Hemmer.

[@mallbutts2836]

❤

[@keirfarnum6811]

Hopefully they will discover that the cold on that planet killed the Gorn young and Hemmer survived due to his cold weather adaptation. There’s still hope.

[@thegrimmretails3777]

​@@keirfarnum6811I'm slightly more doubtful of an Aenar's ability to survive a fall from a great height.

[@MatthewvMayo]

Ikr. I'm kinda hoping they give us something with the character pre enterprise.

[@banditindustries]

youtube tutorials made their way into star trek

That's what I was thinking 😂😂😂

3:21 That noise Uhura is hearing sounds like the Breen when they talk in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. 3:29 Also: AAAHHH ZOMBIE HEMMER!

[@keirfarnum6811]

Is it possible that Hemmer survived and he’s using his telepathic abilities to reach out? Inquiring minds want to know!

[@kenbennett4556]

Nice cliffhanger.

[@hawkstringfellow]

This star trek version uhura has a tighter fade than I do

[@dadevi]

And? Hairstyles change.

[@mysticmarble94]

3:30 ... The Walking Hammer ... moment 🤭

[@barrandilltanathlas1177]

Its amazing how many crew members are just hanging around in corridors.

[@alfobootidir2474]

When you consider every ship can be hacked by a Vulcan in a corridor it makes contextual sense

[@shawnr771]

Even during alerts. When they should be manning a station or be on damage control.

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

3:20 wait did he just ring in from stargate?

[@Shadowkey392]

More like slow-mo transformed and rolled out.

[@arcaelusthorne642]

Ticked me off when they killed off Hemmer. I liked him.

[@stephenjackson6111]

This show is so much better than Discovery.

[@yveslafrance2806]

Do yourself a favor, stop catering to the worst elements of the Star Trek fandom. If you’re young, bigotry will only pull you down; if you’re older, it just shows how little you were paying attention.

[@Einwetok]

@@yveslafrance2806 🤨Before you snow plow somebody's neutral opinion about anything, try unplugging your fake righteous indignation. The show sucks and is getting cancelled because of popular feedback, it was the least star trekky series made so far. And Lower Decks is just a bad animated popcorn comedy that doesn't even try🤨.

[@tinokokota_joy-ir7sy]

@@Einwetok don't quite agree with your take but your opinion is yours. I have been a fan of Star Trek since the age of 3 and watched all Star Trek and read the books and comics. I was excited by and absolutely love Discovery and Lower Decks because they add to the mythos. Discovery has taken us where no one has gone before and given us a unique look at the mythology while adding a much-needed view into the far future while I see Lower Decks as a fun way to introduce young would be fans to Trek while also catering to nostalgia fans. It's also why I probably loved the first two seasons of Picard while most hated them - something I just never understood because again they added to the mythos of the Star Trek World and gave us so much new material to play with going forward.

[@randybugger3006]

Paramount gave away the game when they decided that Discovery's shorthand name would be STD.

[@Isaic02]

​@@tinokokota_joy-ir7syDid you actually like Discovery and Picard as Star Trek shows or did you just enjoy having more details added to the ST universe? It might be mild, but the two are different.

[@Martinbeef]

I love the new engineer! She has so much personality and is funny too. A great actress. Strange New Worlds is the Best of Star Trek. It’s like the producers put all the series into a blender, and this came out! It’s just superb.

[@catsupchutney]

Carol Kane being Carol Kane. She was a minx in her 20s.

[@ohauss]

@@catsupchutney I'm still waiting for her to storm unto the bridge screaming "Liaaar! Liaaaaarr!" only for someone to retort "Get back to engineering, witch!"

[@UnityRise]

I feel like they wasted Carol Kane’s wide range of acting abilities. She deserved better.

[@protorhinocerator142]

I'm a bridge officer under orders from the Captain. Who are you again?

[@podemosurss8316]

She's the Chief Engineer 😅

[@OptimusWombat]

Yes, she's a bridge officer, but an extremely junior one. Also, it was her choice to run the diagnostic and then re-calibrate the system. Pike was very unconcerned.

[@harrytabb328]

Zombies..fromm..spaaaace!!!

[@hawkstringfellow]

Besides we know pike gets it in the end

[@davepowder4020]

Starfleet educates via KZbin videos? Amazing!

[@VegetaLF7]

Genuinely one of the most realistic things Star Trek has shown. Doesn't matter how well you know a subject, double checking you have the procedure down by watching another expert's video on the subject always helps.

[@OptimusWombat]

Not really. Those videos that Hemmer recorded were specifically for Uhura's benefit.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Well that was horrific

[@TorstenKnodt]

Couldn't they just moved Hemmer to starfleet academy and let him return every now and then to coach Scotty or the like?

[@OptimusWombat]

Maybe they meant for his death to be a personal growth moment for Uhura? But yeah, I wish he could come back too.

[@Lazarus1095]

Well, they've already had a crossover with Lower Decks, so why not a crossover with The Walking Dead as well?

[@jonathanmyers2867]

3:29 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

[@eddieo6466]

Could he be Alive??? Those gorn critters don't do well in the cold.

[@S1N1CAL]

They really shouldn't have killed off Hemmer. He was one of my favorite characters. And then they just replace him with a condescending space jew

[@keirfarnum6811]

I don’t think he’s dead. I’m hoping the cold on that planet killed the Gorn and Hemmer managed to survive because he’s cold weather adapted. And these hallucinations are occurring because he’s reaching out telepathically to Uhura. That’s my hope anyways. 🤞🏻

[@hawkstringfellow]

Ah what ???

[@DissertatingMedieval]

Jesus fuck, dude. Way to let me know not to listen to a damn word you say.

[@thegrimmretails3777]

Get bent

[@garysofko]

A What?

[@MrMikellsof88]

What the hell is this? Why in the sam hell would your COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA ARRAY be routed through the fucking nacelles? If, oh I dunno, a Klingon warbird pops up and decides to blow your nacelles to high hell, you've lost the fucking antenna and can't call Starfleet for backup or a tow. Contrived BS that makes no goddamn sense. And people are still watching it.

[@Colinpark]

Actually makes sense, you can have it running the length of both nacelles and provides for a long antenna. On modern warship, trying to organize and setup sensor arrays so they don't interfere with each other is very difficult.

[@joermnyc]

There is most likely a back up antenna somewhere else on the ship, maybe with less range, but you shouldn’t be left without a link to the outside world.

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

​@@Colinpark.... Just what I was thinking

[@ianharac5153]

Well, if your communications uses subspace so your messages get somewhere faster than light, and your warp nacelles create the warp field that lets you move faster than light...

[@MrMikellsof88]

@@ianharac5153 There's a separate system for that. It's called the subspace comm array. Which is not located in the nacelles. It's powerful enough to punch a SIGNAL into subspace, but not powerful enough to create a bubble around the ship. That's where the nacelles come in. Otherwise, as a hypothetical, how does the surviving saucer section of a destroyed Galaxy-class call for aid? How did Starfleet know to pick up the Enterprise crew on Viridian III?

[@hawkstringfellow]

Theres no character depth the interactions seem like they are just acting cant catch lightning in a bottle for the 4th time tng ds9 voyager all lighting in a bottle

[@danieldickson8591]

I have to strongly disagree. This crew seems to me to have jelled quite well, and I'm enjoying their interactions. But character arcs take time to build, and sadly, the seasons are disappointingly brief. BTW say Hi to Dominic for me, String. 😉

[@MrMikellsof88]

@@danieldickson8591Doesn't matter how they gel. They're not Starfleet officers and this show is a contrived sham that exists purely to be a soft reboot of the TOS era to "fix" the "problem" of Kirk.

[@KebabMusicLtd]

I cannot say I have watched this show, but I might give it an airing. With the advances in technology since the Original series aired in the 1960s, I think it a good idea to try and breathe some new life into this show. I always felt that TNG was a poor substitute for the original series. (I recently watched the entire TNG run so I could review all episodes). *TNG* At least the original was pure sci-fi. Only a small number of episodes from TNG per season, dealt with space related stories. Too often they went into half-cocked main character lead stories that were sometimes good, but usually pretty lame. For example, The Dauphin, Qpid, Ethics, Man Of The People, Sub Rosa. Of course, if you prefer those shows, then you've always got the box-sets. *DS9* DS9 was a vast improvement on TNG but it also had too many filler episodes. It didn't really hit its stride until Season Four anyway. But we also had the poor shows such as Babel, Playing God... Indeed any story that centred around Jadzia Dax. I could never understand why they bothered with her. When Worf joined in season 4, they linked his character to hers, just to make her seem more interesting. Best thing they did was kill her off. *VOY* Voyager probably came at a time when there was too much Star Trek on the airwaves. I would only watch the early episodes if I had nothing better to do. It got better later on in the run with the addition of 7 of 9, but really, I didn't care. I have never re-watched or owned the box-set for Voyager. I have never watched Enterprise.

[@shawnr771]

Pike's story started on Discovery and there are 3 or 4 episodes that he is in the first season. They are not required watching but at least reading the synopsis of them and Pike and Spock's role will help explain some flashback and forwards. I like the show.

[@OptimusWombat]

I would agree with that statement if it was in reference to Discovery. But SNW has given us plenty of character development, and not just on a small number of core characters.

[@YurUseless]

Trash show.
