Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Spock Amok

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Spock Amok
  • wiki: link

Following the tense and dramatic “Memento Mori,” Star Trek: Strange New Worlds shift gears for a far lighter episode featuring the Enterprise in space dock that turns out to be the best episode of the series so far. The title of the episode comes from the arrival of Spock’s fiancé T’Pring (Gia Sandhu). In an attempt to bridge the gap between them and understand each other’s position, the Vulcans take part in a ritual that unintentionally swaps their consciousness into each other’s bodies. Despite neither being happy about it, hijinks ensue as Spock (who is actually T’Pring in Spock’s body) is needed in delicate trade negotiations with the R’ongovian Protectorate and T’Pring (who is actually Spock in T’Pring’s body) is called into duty to help with a Vulcan who will only meet with her.

Roxanne

  • Title: Roxanne
  • IMDb: link

Cyrano de Bergerac, the 19th Century play by Edmond Rostand, has been adapted more than two dozen times over the years for film and television (including a new version starring Peter Dinklage). By far, my favorite take on the story of the remarkable man with wit, cunning, athleticism, the heart of a poet, and an comedically large nose that keeps him from sharing his affections with the one he loves, came in the form of 1987’s Roxanne released in theaters 35 years ago.

Steve Martin stars as Charlie “C.D.” Bales, the fire chief of one of the most inept fire departments in the country. Into his life walks Roxanne (Daryl Hannah), far more than a pretty face, as a beautiful astronomy PhD student renting a home in the small town from C.D.’s god-daughter Dixie (Shelley Duvall) while mending a broken heart and searching the stars for a comet.
