Strange New Worlds Episode 6 Lives Up To The Show’s Name
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 6 — «Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach»
With the introduction of the planet Majalis,Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has lived up to the show's title. Past the midway point of Strange New Worlds season 1, the episodic adventures of the USS Enterprise commanded by Captain Christopher Pike have shown Trekkers an Earth-like planet on the verge of civil war, a desert world given water and life by a rogue comet, and an abandoned Illyrian colony tied to Number One's (Rebecca Romijn) origins. But with Majalis, which is led by Minister Alora (Lindy Booth), an ex-lover of Captain Pike's, and a holy child ruler named the First Servant (Ian Ho), Strange New Worlds has now presented an alien culture that is truly strange and disturbing.
Exploring strange new worlds is literally the Starship Enterprise's mandate, as is seeking out new lifeforms and new civilizations. WhenStrange New Worlds began, Captain Pike's Enterprise launched on a new five-year mission of galactic exploration. Thus far, Strange New Worlds has avoided interacting with most of Star Trek's coterie of classic alien species, with the exception of the Vulcans sinceStrange New Worlds is also exploring the relationship between Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck) and his fiancée, T'Pring (Gia Sandhu). Meanwhile, Strange New Worlds has reintroduced the Gorn and set them up as major enemies of the United Federation of Planets. Though the reptilian aliens haven't been seen inStrange New Worlds yet, the Gorn are a tragic part of Lt. La'an Noonien Singh's (Christina Chong) backstory and, through her trauma, Strange New Worlds has shed new light on the Gorn's fearsome culture.
