Following are spoilers for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds".

One advantage of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" to be a foretold of the original "Star Trek" is how there can be bad guys at Klingon, no explanation is needed.

The show is the spin-off of "Star Trek: Discovery", followed by a short and brutal war between the Federation and the Clingon Empire during its first season. "Strange New Worlds" retroes "characters Dr -Josephosef M'Banga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Christine Capel (Ess Bush) in military veterans in Klingon. They served together on the moon J'gal, where Mbanga developed Steroid for Starflit Soldiers ("Protocol 12") And even he took it himself. The infamous "J'gal" butcher who killed some senior clinges officers? It was actually Mbanga.

Thus, PTSD of Mbanga has flared The "Strange New Worlds" season under the war of the cloak When the company had to accompany Klingon Ambassador Dacach (Robert Wisdom). Dakrak, who opposed the Federation, took credit for the death of his officers, claiming to be J'gal's "butcher". The tension between Mbanga and Dakara is slowly boiling over the entire episode. Dakrah is ashamed to be ashamed, and for past crimes And Being a coward of J'Gal. He wanted to make changes with Menga, but it seemed more than his fault than empathy for Mbanga.

After all, Mbanga killed Dakra with D'K Tachg (Klingon Knife) used as a Gal butcher. Death was considered self -defense because Dakrach attacked Mbanga, but the episode left it unclear whether it was really or was it murder ... until now, in "Shuttle to Cephalic", when Menaga admits was murder. The sins of Mbanga's past did not die with Dakra.

Premiere in "Strange New Worlds"/Season 3 Premiere "Hegemony", Captain's girlfriend Christopher Pique (Anson Mount), Captain Marie Batel (Melanie Scrophano) descended infection with the larvae of Gorn. "Hegemony" ended with the condition of Batel stabilized, but not cured. In "Shuttle to Kefri", the infection was regressed and again threatened to kill it.

Marie's only hope is the "Chimera Flower", a rare plant that is probably found only on the planet of Kefrori - located on the contested Federation/territory of Klingon. Pique does not allow an ordinary agreement to prevent the company from going to cephanage. But as soon as he and Mbanga land on the planet, they run into two major problems. One birthplace was taken by the dead Starflet and Clingon soldiers, transforming them into what Pique puts, "The word z". Second, there is a group of alive The clingons on the planet hunt our heroes.

The Leader of the Klinggons (Christine Horn) is out to kill Mbanga and asks if he sees the face of an old enemy as he sees. "I killed too much Klingers to know which house you are," he replies, so she reveals herself as Dakara's daughter. She is not out to take revenge on her father, no. She wanted to kill Dakara herself to discourage their house, and now wants to kill Mbanga to rob the chance.

"Our name remains soiled, unless I kill my father's killer," she said, so she and Mbenga must duel to death. When Pique claims that Dakra's death is self -defense, Mbanga reveals that it wasn't:

"I could stop him, but the mass killer gave me the opportunity to kill him ... and I Whethervoluntarily. I would do it again. So yes, his blood is on my hands. Was it dishonest? I don't know. But there was justice. I lied to protect the monster that still lives in me if the day comes when it is needed again. "

Mbanga wins the duel duel Tachg, no 12 protocol is needed, but this time he retains the "monster" and spared his opponent. The Daughterter of dakra, instead, finds a ransom of the warrior, staying behind to keep the horde of the zombie as if they escaped from Mbenga and Pique.

After returning to the company, Menenga asks if Pique will include Dakara's murder. Pike swinging the question; Since the whole mission was unsuitable, he would not report something that happened. If he needed, "hypothetical", asks M'Benga? "(I would say) I had a knife to your throat and told you a story to save my life ... You're not a monster, josephosef, just a man."

"Shuttle to Kefri" ends much like "under the war of war", when Pique suspect M'benda may be to blame, but it does not press the problem. That episode made the two friends in the foils; Pique, as usual, represented the federation's idealism that even evil deserves a second chance. Menga, who then admitted that he was then happy to be dead, thought the victims deserved justice more than the punished.

It is then appropriate that Pique is the one who teaches the truth in "Shuttle to Cephalic". Mbanga said in the closing moments of "Under the Government of War" that Pique has "the privilege of believing in what is best in people". In this episode, Pique chooses to apply it to his friend Joseph, because he saw Mbanga hold the monster back to Cephalic. If our enemies deserve a second chance and our friends.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" moves to Paramount+. The new episodes are distorted on Thursday.
