Terrarium

The creative forces behind Strang New Worlds they are masters in "borrowing" stories.

They steal plots from other movies & other series (sci-fi or not), other Star Trek series and mainly TOS.

This shows how much weak they are, either in their writing skills or the risks they could take to write something new or at least more original. But then, they would not had made a prequel.

And now they are ready to click on the Big Reset Button (worse part of the episode).

In any case, this wasn't such a bad episode, and even if it was narrating an unoriginal story it could have been much much better.

It is very annoying how they have Ortegas talk, constantly expressing her thoughts using 20-21th century expressions.

But even more annoying is the inconsistency in Enterprise's officers behavior. When their loved ones are in danger they have no problem put ship and crew in peril. But poor Ortegas...

Episode pitch meeting: Let's take a Star Trek TOS episode, replace Kirk, (a male) with a female (or?), replace the male Gorn with a female Gorn, instead of having a mortal combat scenario, put a "Mine Ememy" buddy twist on it and in the end have a "Empire of the Sun", kill my enemy, who is now my friend, who loves airplanes just like me.

Perfect! Do it!

Oh and make the Metrons bald.

This is probably the best episode so far of Season 3. Good themes, some interesting ideas and not too much of the humour that has spoiled a lot of SNW of late. This one seems to have a little more faith in the ideas and execution than more recent episodes. However, Ortega constantly speaking her thoughts gets very annoying. It's like the writers and director felt they needed spell out every single moment rather than thinking the audience might actually be able to work it out for themselves! But explaining everything aside, it's a much better effort all round. Looking forward to the season finale next week!

What an amazing episode. If only real life reflected this idea of enemies been able to find common ground and learn from one another. Melissa fully carried this episode. She owned it! This episode reminds me of why Star Trek. SNW is becoming my favorite of all Trek and this episode delivers in more ways than expected.

Was losing interest in the series but this episode brought my interest back. Best episode of the season. The plot was more serious, more syfy, and was more true to the strange new world theme. I think the series should be written to follow this type of plot versus the season's previous episodes so far.
