This article contains spoilers For "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 3, Episode 4, "Space Adventure Hour".

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is set in the 23rd century, so obviously it can't do it Holodek episodeDidn't it? Wrong!

"Space Adventure Hour", Directed by Franchise Veteran Athonan "Will Reeker" FreyksDrops Lian Nonien-Sing (Christina Jong) in Holodek adventure immediately from "next generation". The setup is that she is testing a prototype of Holodek and decides to act in a story based on her favorite novels about the Amelia Moon childhood. Laan is thrown as Amelia in a mystery of murder in Hollywood in the mid -20th century. Tony Hart, the head of the studio that produces a soon-to-need scientific TV series, "The Last Border" has been killed. Amelia must find who between the cast and the crew of the show (with avatars modeled on the company's crew) is the killer.

If the "last limit" looks known, it should! The show-in-show is obviously a delay for the original Star Trek and the joke is too obvious to overcome over someone's head like the growing company. "Space Adventure Hour" is an episode of "Star Trek" for Star Trek. One of the key moments of the episode explores why "the last limit", but really "Star Trek", is more than just, well, a series of classes in space adventure.

Selia Rose Gooding/Uhura is played by Anoian Glis, one of the suspects and a glamorous talent agent who repeat the actors "The Last Border". Anoani first seems to be quite cynical, but it turns out that there is an idealist under it. When questioned as a suspect, her possible motive is to want the show to survive. She wanted it, but not only because she would have profited from her clients to be in the hit series. She explains:

"Canceling 'The Last Frontier' is the stupidest thing tony has ever been. Social Commentary with Rubber Masks and Buried Metaphors, You Know, Science-Fix ... Nipples and injustice gives the audience something better. "

"All this with weekly space adventures?" Laan/Amelia asks, unconvincing. But Anoani goes on:

"You don't find the idea inspiring? You don't think a kid there will see this show and spend the rest of their lives looking for stars?

Words hit a chord in Laan, who literally lives her childhood fantasies being a detective like Amelia Moon. If you are Trekkie, you probably felt the same way for those words, because you know what Anoani really is talking about: "Star Trek".

The basic premise of the creator of Star Trek Genein born for the show was a utopian future where humanity left behind greed and social division. In the 1960s, the space trip was a symbol of optimism for the future ("Trek" ended in 1969, the same year the United States landed on the moon), and "Star Trek" helped cement that part of the decade's legacy. Of course, Starflite may be adventurous at the last limit, but they are not out of the imperialist manifest fate. They are serious researchers who want to expand their (and our) horizons.

Of course, "Star Trek" cannot be credited Complete to Births. Other writers on the show took their premise and used it to explore timely topics such as racism ("Let your last battlefield"), the nonsense of war ("Taste of Armageddon", The first episode of Clingon "Errand of Mercy", etc.), and more.

Unlike the "last limit", "old Trek" Whether Get season 2 - and 3 - but no more. Obviously the trip "Trek" did not end there; We would not have "strange new worlds" if "old Trek" faded in ambiguity. But unlike "Strange New Worlds", the original five -year mission remains incomplete.

Speech in "Space Adventure Hour" can feel like sort is"Old Trek" walks on his back. But it has earned, because everything Anoani/Uhura says in that scene is true. "Star Trek" was the beginning of the modern accident and its marks; Fanfection, Cosmei, delivery, etc. There is even a holiday created by "Starwater Trails" fans. As Anoani explains that it is accidentally more important than the show really wants. Marginalized people can find a community for sharing art they love, especially historically progressive and accepting art as "Star Trek". /Leading editor of the film and trick Obeykob Hall wrote as "old Trek" helped him get out of the closet.

The most important meta-video of the speech is that it is delivered by the actor of Uhura. The original "Star Trek" put its money where it was the mouth and showed an integrated team; Japanese American George Takei as Mr Sulu, Walter Koenig as Russian Chekov, etc. The most fashionable casting was the late Nickel Nichols as Uhura, positioning black as a lieutenant. This was a huge thing for a country that had just banned segregation two years before. Nichols itself is often told how Dr -Martin Luther King Runior himself encouraged her to continue playing Uhura When he suspected the work of Star Trek.

"I think I said something similar," Dr. King, I wish I was there to march with you. " He said, 'No, no, no.

It actually feels even more Significant that it is not the original uhura saying the words in "an hour in space adventure". Selia Rose Gooding (who shared like Nichols and Zoe Saldasha as Uhura influenced) is a living proof of Uhura's influence on the real world even without giving a speech on it.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is transferred to Paramount+, with new episodes of season 3 released on Thursday.
