Being part of the Star Trek series must be an experience of any other. In any given day, whether it's something silly like the animated (and now face) "lower decks" Or the melodramatic future of "Discovery", there is always a chance that the cast and crew collide with some of the most unpleasant aspects of the franchisee. Usually, it comes in the form of literally cut with the greatest and best stories known to the trays. However, other times, it is about coming to the face with legends of living and breathing - and not necessarily on the side of the camera you would expect. "Strange New Worlds" obviously lives up to its recovery as a foretold show on the "original series", shows the five -year mission that USS members took over a certain Jamesesheims Tiberius Kirk to take over. But it also has a secret weapon to the sleeve in the form of director Athonatan Freks.

The actor best known for playing adamant William Reeker has continued his Love -Board with the "Trail" through his directing career Over the last few years. But above just acting as an encyclopedia of going to his "next -generation" sets, various films and "Picard", he also brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into the modern "paths" that followed in their calculation. Take "strange new worlds", for example. Freque previously directed The episode of the "Dolni decks" crossover "those old scientists" in Season 2And he returns once again for the upcoming third season. As it happens, he distributed some invaluable tips that went a long way to defining the relationship between two of the most important characters in the show: Rebecca Romin, Una-Ri-Rieli and Captain Christopher Pique (Anson Mount).

As it turns out, Freyks had a repetitive mantra ready for both Starswells before shooting any scene they were together ... And it's not great news for all the senders there.

For as much as "Strange New Worlds" borrowed on every possible combination of romantic pairing under the sunSome just don't have to be. (That's what Fanfik is, people!) We saw Spack (Ethan Peck) and Christine Chapel (Ess Bush) unites and subsequently moving away during season 2, for example. But it's fair to say there is a number of surprising entanglements that should come in season 3 (Which /film Jacecob Hall reviewed here). One of them probably None However, be Captain Pique and number one - at least, according to how the Athonian Freks directed actors Anson Mont and Rebecca Romini in the series series.

Romine revealed this time during a recent roundtable interview, attended by /film. Asked how she sees the number one dynamics with Pique, whether she is professional or platonic or something together, the actor reacted very deliberately:

"Never romantic. I would say very good old, old friends. We imagine - and we don't know, because it was never missed for us - so we decided, between the two, that we were probably together at the Starflet Academy and we knew together when we came back when we always admired each other. He always starts with that.

The ability to quickly resolve the tone and establish motivations for characters during a certain scene is crucial for the directors to master them, and it sounds like a freesty to put it down to science. That specific piece of direction certainly takes place in every interaction shared by Pique and Una, allowing the two to serve as a sound board in a way that no other USS member can - even Pique's own Love -Bowel interest, Captain Marie Batel (Melanie). For our money, Freyks has properly intuited the unique chemistry shared by the two actors. For viewers who disagree, well, it always has its own archive.
