Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4x05 - "Level-Five Transporter Accident"

[Spider]

People turn into all kinds of stuff by going through transporters or stargates or some such horseshit. Happens all the time.

 

[CampBOO!]

Remember when the transporter split Kirk?
Remember when the transporter combined Tuvok and Neelix?
Remember when the transporter destroyed Sonak?
Remember when the transporter duplicated Riker?
Remember when the transporter made Picard and others kids?
Remember when the transporter made Pulaski de age?

Transporters do weird shit.

Remember when the transporter put a lot of the DS9 crew into a Jame Bond-like Holosuite simulation?

The transporter goes awry troupe has been a Star Trek fixture since the franchise began.

At this point, what tech hasn't malfunctioned as part of a story?

Don't forget the 70 plus years that Scotty survived in a pattern buffer but Franklin did not.

Those are all examples from a very long time ago so I'd say we were due another.

Has there been stories featuring the horrors of Sickbay, Biobeds, or any other medical like tech?

Barclay's treatment messed up everyone's DNA. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Urodelan_flu

Yeah. But puppets is way to far into the ridiculous.

 

[Tuskin38]

Feels like it will be similar to Rascals, except all the crew are effected except Spock.

One of the Orions in this episode is played by Joe Lo Truglio

 

[CampBOO!]

Naah. We veered way too far into the ridiculous when Bones controlled Spock with a remote control.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Naah. We veered way too far into the ridiculous when Bones controlled Spock with a remote control.

Which DS9 repeated in "The Magnificent Ferengi" with the corpse of Keevan.

 

[Elaise]

So 2 gimmick episodes in a row?

 

[Tuskin38]

So 2 gimmick episodes in a row?

last episode didn't have a gimmick

 

[FrankenTron]

Naah. We veered way too far into the ridiculous when Bones controlled Spock with a remote control.

Even Spocks Brain looks good compared to some of SNWs episodes. Lol

Star trek used to be Scifi fiction. Now it's Science fantasy

Eh...it's always been Science Fantasy to a degree. (Which is just a subset of Science Fiction, anyway)

"Scifi fiction" ? Is there such a thing a Scifi Non-Fiction?

F'ing Rand and her clumsy fingers.

I look forward to your completely unbiased review. Lol

 

[MakeshiftPython]

If Q was behind this I would totally buy into it 100% because that’s totally on brand with him. I rolled with the most absurd stuff like Space Lincoln and Apollo. I hate musicals but I really liked SNW’s episode and vibed with it. I would totally be cool with muppets via some space entity messing with the crew. But muppets via a transporter accident? I dunno. That just seems to ask a lot. I’m not a hater, I’m not rooting for SNW or Kurtzman Trek to die. I’m really just struggling to suspend my disbelief on that aspect.

Uhhhhhggggg. I just saw some full clips of the episode on Instagram. Holy smokes...

How the Universe works. ....???...

I think those are called theories, not fiction.
