It’s unnerving to see Captain Pike not know what to do as Strange New Worlds leaves us with a good, old-fashioned cliffhanger.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
The episode opens just outside Federation space with a Captain’s Log entry from a different captain than usual. It’s Batel, who’s traveled to Parnassus Beta to help a colony modeled after a 20th-century Midwestern town. It looks like a nice place, and one completely unprepared for any kind of hostile alien force should one arrive. It does, of course, but not until a scene between Chapel and Batel reveals they’ve both been helping out on the surface since last we saw them.
Three problems await them when they arrive: figuring out what’s going on on the planet’s surface after the Gorn have blacked out communication, trying to locate any survivors of the destroyed, and the arrival of even more Gorn, who’ve shown up with a message. Actually, it’s really more an image than a message, but the meaning is clear: there’s a line, and you guys need to stay on your side of it, or there will be more trouble.
That they’re not behaving like typical Gorn younglings — cooperating rather than fighting one another — is a bit baffling, but not as baffling as sensor readings of human life where no life appears to exist. When thelanding party finds themselves trapped in a force field, the mystery is solved and a new old character enters the stage. It’s Lieutenant Montgomery Scott !
