58 years from pilot to series, and the wait was worth it. Strange New Worlds is doing well with the audience and even better with critics. It's old and familiar with a lot that's fresh and new. A new look, a fresh new take on familiar characters and a popular lead. And what about Captain Pike anyway? He's a man who knows that he'll end up without the use of his body and in a chair. And it's all being done with a good dose of sci fi. Trek has always been socially relevant and this is another big issue that we'll get to see play out, so this show goes out to all those in a similar situation.
For now though, we'll be moving on to another character that's taken on a mysterious quality. The infamous Number One. Who is she? She now has a name, but what's the deal with her? If sightings are to be believed, she's been on 20th-century earth with Gary Seven and she's Robin Lefler's mother. Or maybe that's all hearsay and we'll get something closer to the truth with this episode.
Light it up!
"The U.S.S. Enterprise encounters a contagion that ravages the ship. One by one, the entire crew is incapacitated except for Number One, Una Chin-Riley, who must now confront a secret she’s been hiding as she races to find a cure." - TrekMovie.com
