I wonder how our plucky crew will get out of the pickle they ended the season on.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x09 - "All Those Who Wander"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Scotty and his madcap engineering skills to the rescue!
Nuke'm from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
The character was always intended to be killed off. They told Bruce this from the start.
They told him before he signed onto the role exactly what their plans for the character were. It was something they planed to do from the start.
I wonder how many times this has been brought up?
Another badly done episode. Instead of using the potential it had in the monster that is the gorn, they literally spend about 3/4 of all shots focused in on the characters' extreme fear and other emotions. It's ridiculous. The producers don't know what the hell they're doing. It's sci-fi not soap opera trash. This would be like an action movie continuously showing cars blowing up. Like 30 of them. After the first 2 it gets old and does nothing. They think they're being all dramatic and deep and instead - the spock scene where he whips himself into anger - cringe. Stupid x100. Luann, or whatever the hell her forgettable name is, is a terrible actor trying to show aggression - just comes across as fake and forced. She's not a bad actor overall though.
You couldn't be further from the truth.
I guess those are the type of replies you give when you know I'm right but can't think of anything. Look, everybody knows all first season star trek is TRASH. I've already seen SNW S2 and it's much better. What's the point of denying the obvious. Encounter at Farpoint was unwatchable, cringeworthy garbage - why deny it? Only trekkies think otherwise, defending everything star trek when the outside world knows better...
Again, I'll ask the question, why are emotions bad? We see Kirk struggle with them and be literally at war with himself. We see Data struggle with them, etc.
I may not like this episode but this idea of dealing with emotions makes it trash is a weird take given Trek's history.
I loved Season One of SNW. You can find my vote and comments on this episode up thread. My opinion hasn't changed. I've rewatched the episode several times.
I think this Season is stronger than Season 2 of SNW. Hmmm...maybe it's closer to TOS than we think
To me Season 1 of SNW is the best Trek in almost 20 years.
Nothing wrong with emotional content of course. As I posted, it's the sheer amount and the way it's presented. It would be like if literally every single shot was a head-only shot showing closeup faces, and nothing else the entire episode...oh wait that was basically it! It's the way it's shot, directed...bad decisions. The script wouldn't have led to this, I don't think - or just not this bad, I should say. Oh, and continuity errors (visual, between shots) are terrible in this show if you watch closely. They don't know what they're doing, I maintain. Probably low-budget, incompetent staff, would be my guess.

I would welcome your attempt to do better.
I don't think anybody here knows you're right but certainly know you're being abusive with your personal opinions. Warning for Trolling.
That's your opinion, it's not fact.
Again an opinion many would disagree with.
Nothing about the Gorn other than that at least some of their number are bipedal reptilians was ever established in "Arena."
True, but also I'm not convinced that the Gorn juveniles we saw in "All Those Who Wander..." are the same species as the bipedal Gorn seen in "Arena" and "In A Mirror Darkly, Part II." I think it's entirely possible this is either another species in political union with that one, or possibly a pet or hunting animal.
