In the episode "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" "Through Lens of Time", nurse Capel (Ess Bush) and her new boyfriend Roger Corby (Silian O'Sullivan) have discovered an incredibly ancient temple hidden under the rocks of the far world. Technology in the temple is still active after countless recent centuries and requires a drop of blood to enter. Everything is scary and mysterious. Inside, the crew of the company finds a series of glittering orbes containing ... something. They also discover that they can go through unusual stone crossings and enter different plains of existence. The six crew members are in the same room, but they cannot see each other because they are out of the stage. It is like a haunted house or abandoned asylum.

When the new nurse on the Ensign Gamble (Chris Meyers) collects one of the mysterious orbes, she exploded in her hand. The flying glass and Eldrit's bolts immediately destroy its eyeballs (!). Fortunately, this is "Star Trek", so medical tools exist to grow some new ones.

However, there is a problem. The re -artist of the apple does not seem to work. There is something else in the body of Ensign Gamble. He begins to look at people's heads and use his unhappy memories. He ridicules people for their failures. Something clearly possessed. The crew will eventually reveal that the Orb contained a wicked, unprofessional entity of unknown origin. The crew comes to the conclusion, with the interpretation of the ancient foreign glyphs, that these entities were deliberately closed in the temple below.

Even Pelia (Carol Caine), who is alone old millennia, admits that watching these demonic foreigners gives Heby-Jebi. They are terrible and evoke the worst parts of films such as "Horizon Events" and "Prometheus".

The aliens are also perhaps the first completely original villain in the annals of "Strange New Worlds". This is very exciting for us trays.

While Star Trek does not deal with moral absolute, there are many characters and/or species What fans still consider them "villains". For example, the wicked Cardiac Gul Dukat (Mark Alaimo) is driven by military ambition and a sense of superiority, while possessing cruelty smuggling. He is a complete character and interesting, but is also evil in most measures. Ditto, Borg, a kind of non-thinking of cibers that catch every ship they face and take it for parts. Borg assimilates people in their collective and continue to grow. In the end they will be given a queen and voice, expressing her unnecessary philosophy of perfection, and are also considered "villains".

"Strange new worlds," of course, there were many monstrous villains. The show has already shown several stories with a Gorn, type of lizard, which reproduces as xenomorphs in "foreign" (by implanting other creatures with their eggs). Gornn's "Strange New Worlds" version is a dramatic recurrence of monsters with masked lizards found in the original Star Trek. The "weird new worlds" also had several episodes in which the clingons were villains, usually in a military context. There was also a recent episode in which Klingon aimed to deal with hand -to -hand fight in the middle of zombie.

But the new incorrect entities in "Through Lenses of Time?" Those who can own a person after destroying the eyeballs? Ech. It's a daunting new wrinkle for "weird new worlds". These subjects - called life forms of a computer monitor - are a new threat.

The tendency of animal shapes to read their minds and ridicule others about their mistakes in the past, reminiscent of demons seen in the frightening scientific horror film "Horizon Events" by Paul W. They are more or less demons, made them even worse than their impossible ancient. Some of the characters "Strange New Worlds" are convinced that life forms of a ves are, without pretensions, evil. Maybe they are so ancient, these creatures are the founders of the concept of evil. "Star Trek" is always best when dealing with a giant, long form, cosmic mysteries of this kind.

Of course, life forms of a ved are not the first time Star Trek has dealt with demonic subjects that can possess people. Fans of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" We will recall (usually with disappointment) PAF-Piites, a non-formal entity that was locked in rivalry with equally the non-coherent prophets living in a stable worm hole. The Bayranians referred to the Referrals as "false prophets", and the spiritual demons had a way to drag our universe and occupy the minds of the body's body creatures. The Vrayites first appeared in the episode "Task" (October 28, 1996), but would play a major role in the later seasons of the show.

Pach-piites are, I need to urge to add, widely I do not like Trekis who shake the "magical" nature of their existence. The wicked demons that people possess are far away from many "Starwench Trek" by traditional scientific thinking. They feel cardboard in a bad way.

However, life forms of a ved feel a little more practical (well, as practical as they can -corporate malicious entities). They seem to have passions, goals and unknown missions. And, most frightening, they survived the events of "through the lenses of time". We have just been introduced, but we may see more of them in the future.
