Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – A Quality of Mercy

After getting off-track for a couple of episodes, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds rights the ship for the season finale that touches on one of the major themes of the season as well as explore one of the original series episodes in a new way. In something akin to Marvel’s What If…, “A Quality of Mercy” examines what might happen if you removed the Enterprise’s most famous captain from one of his biggest moments of his early career and instead left Captain Pike (Anson Mount) in command. The time travel is made possible by the arrival of Pike’s older self letting him know the consequences if he attempts to change the outcome of his accident several years in the future.

Star Trek – The Corbomite Maneuver

Today’s Throwback Thursday post takes us boldly back to where no man had gone before and the original five-year mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The first episode of Star Trek produced after its two pilot episodes, “The Corbomite Maneuver” was the tenth episode aired due to the number of special effects involved in the episode. It will mark the first, but certainly not the last, time a ship bearing the name Enterprise would come across something unusual in space. In “The Corbomite Maneuver” that turns out to be an unusual cube blocking the ship’s path. Unable to remove the ship from the path of the cube, and being bombarded with radiation, Kirk (William Shatner) orders the destruction of the cube which leads to all new problems for the crew of the Enterprise after they begin to search for the origins of the crew.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – All Those Who Wander

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds overcorrects the follow up to the all too cute “The Elysian Kingdom” with a horror episode that brings back the Gorn and sees the exit of not one but two major characters. Certainly better than the previous episode, “All Those Who Wander” goes a bit too far to the other side of the spectrum with an Alien-esque story of Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and a handful of other character skulking around a crashed ship avoiding rabid alien creatures who impregnate their hosts and burst out of their bodies. The results are memorable, if nearly as far from classic Trek tone as the previous episode.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Elysian Kingdom
- Title: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Elysian Kingdom

“The Elysian Kingdom” is the first major misstep in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ First Season. In what feels like a holodeck episode (set in a time before the holodeck existed), most of the Starfleet officers on the ship start acting like characters in Rukiya‘s (Sage Arrindell) favorite story. The sets of the Enterprise get marginally redressed to act as locations in the book and only Dr. M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Hemmer (Bruce Horak) are aware that something odd is happening. The end goal of the series is to write Rukiya off the show in such a bizarre deux machina that you feel disappointed given all the set-up over the course of the season. As for the actors playing out the tale with limited sets and props, the episode has a community theater feel to it that doesn’t fit with anything we’ve seen before (and hopefully won’t see again).
