This post contains spoilers For Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

After three seasons, and seriously and playful, building the events of the "original series", Paramount+ Prequel "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" finally referred to the existence of that beloved, important original property. The result of the first and only parody "TOS" on the show to this day is a mixed bag with views of the middle of the century, nausea, pursuing cheap sets and strange acting choices.

The retro show appears for the first time during the cold open on "A hour of space adventure", which introduces viewers to a non-pitch-"old Trek" show called "The Last Border". Presented without context, these moments of "The Last Border" are a roller coaster of experience, the one that lends strictly from the original Genin Born-Bojri series even recreating her entire initial loan with a similar monologue, also adding to its 1960s.

From the first moments of the episode, we have been shown stars -filled stars full of colorful, clumsy, retrofuutist pieces that throw vague symbols and readings of Wallsids. The suits at the scene range from a loose journey (Melissa Nabia, Doctor Doctor Donates Aqua Kotel suit that women in the original team would probably not be worn. The green agonian alien with eyeballs is a puppet with primitive practical effects, and it is later revealed that she wears jeans under its prosthetics during the episode "bluper". And then, here's the Kirk of Paul Wesley - Air, Maxwell Saint.

The world is full of impressions of William Shatner and assuming Wesley's performance here is one of them, it's pretty weird. The actor-who should be noted, generally climbing to take over such a crucial role in "Strange News"-delivering its "last boundaries" lines of definitely pompous and over-the-top way, only sometimes calling for Kirk to the Shatner's mind. At one point, he says he is known for his dic-ti-onDrawing the word to three syllables. During the release, it prevails in front of the camera, using it as a mirror to check the hair. At other times, Holy has sound leaves, and his attempts to convey the authority of Weer in allure. In principle, Wesley and the show writers seem to want to remind us of Shatner's famous ego And Go to another, perhaps legally different direction; Even the costume of St., nasty, gray, omitted suit with olive accents, is far from captain Kirk's "original series".

To fully understand the absurdity of "Hour in Space Adventure", it is worth examining the larger episode story. Despite the flashing device for framing, the action here actually revolves around the lane of Christina Chong, which is tasked with trying a new uncertain piece of technology called Holodek. Of course, there is no Holodeks in the "original series" (they first appear in the series "Old Trek: Next Generation") and the trial of Lian's consumer focus goes so drastically wrong - almost blowing up the company - which she recommends that technology be placed until it can be done.

However, before that, Laan restarts like Amelia Moon, a kind of Nancy-Carmen Sandiego hybrid from the book series made by the country that adores it. In the Holosuit, she is investigating the murder involving the cast and crew of the "last limit", which are mostly dysfunctional group of alcoholics and Hollywood Klingers. Among them are the leading man, actress Adelaide Show (Bush), her boyfriend Anthony McBeu (Babes Olusanmokun), co-Starvaza Lee Woods (Navy), producer and ex-actress Son Lupino (Romine), Meanwhile, Ethan Peck Spack plays Watson in Holmes on Laan.

It is difficult not to feel like the latest episode of "Strange New Worlds" is having fun in the "original series", especially when we know that murder suspects include the unusual, tough creator of the TC Belouz (Anson Mount, who gets the best line of episode). Crime occurred when a series of series On the edge of giving upand makes a large part of the cast of the cast and in the spotlight, what It was well documented if it was an unusual part of the real "Star Trek" of the 1960s. The script is doing Just It is enough to distinguish some of his characters from all real -life colleagues, but will still leave fans with a dramatic, sloppy impression of making a "Tos". Plus, the best parts of the episode are characterized by Castmaters such as Gooding and Peck, which the script allows to reinforce every association that is with the characters they play on Trek-or the actors who came from.

The "weird new worlds" here are trying to balance the bow, look at the disorderly origin of the franchise with an original, fictional plot with new characters. It is also used in a sincere discussion about the importance of the leader of the leader for future generations and uses an episode that is associated with unreality and multiple layers of target to do all this with - Paramount is certainly hoping - minimal collateral damage. "Space Adventure Hour" does not always hit its mark; He could have been deeper with his 20th -century Hollywood study, and would probably let some Tos fans feel bruised. But like most stories about Holodek, it is able to tie a neat tape around the really surreal experience, leaving it in the past until the end of the lesson - I hope the mandatory microdomes.
