I finally watched season 4 episode 3 and 4.

3 - didn't like this. If they were going for scary, then make it scary.

For Star Trek's first Zombie episode, I thought it was pretty scary, but then again Zombies are something that naturally spooks me.

So did the Moss kill off or infect all the animals on the planet? MBinga couldn't detect anything inside or out of the station. Also, I totally disagree with Una here, if she had listened to Ortega's plan sooner, then Pike wouldn't have been stabbed and the Klingons could have made it out of there without all dying from the zombies.


4 - I predicted the deaths but not the killer. I want more of this!

The killer was a great touch! I really liked the holodeck test here. It gives a reason for why the holodeck goes wrong, and its neat to see them call for the arch and to see that classic black and yellow lined room.

Also, what is going on between her and Spock! Was that her in the holodeck at the end or did they actually make out after doing the Tango?

Saw SNW 3x8 Four and half Vulcans.

There's an extra scene at the end!!!!

That was hilarious! Ended too quickly. Still absolutely hilarious.

Did folks note how amazing Andon Mount Pike is when he's acting as another character? He was amazing as the weird writer is the fake Trek and he's also amazing here. Funny chameleon, he's.

I"m not enjoying this episode and I'm really starting to wonder if Strange New Worlds is becoming for me kinda dreadful.

Watching this episode and then looking back at the season and considering the apparent upcoming Muppet episode, I get Thor 4 vibes. Yes, you took some risks with Thor 3 and it paid off, but I didn't want THIS.

Una not being able to control herself around Doug is just dumb and not given any explanation. It is just being silly. Granted the after credits scene is really kind of a gag reel, but everything Spock tells him could be looked up. That's the merely silly. Working a ballroom dance into a mind meld, bleh. The constant jokes about Spock being only half Vulcan I actually found funny.

I can JUST stomach the idea of a treatment that turns you genetically into an entirely different species and yet you are still just a version of yourself. Okay. It's science fiction, not science. But you don't act like a Vulcan because your DNA became Vulcan and it doesn't restyle your hair, which isn't genetic. Turning them into untrained Vulcans would be a disaster. The whole episode acts like being logical is genetic to Vulcans, but it isn't. They work hard to learn that and control their emotions. And that just wrecks the entire premise of the episode.

And I am so weirded out by Kirk showing up every day.
