Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x03 - "Shuttle to Kenfori"

[Nerys Myk]

The eyebrows don't help. When Rebecca Romijn first stepped on screen in the role way back on Discovery, she resembled Majel's Number One with dark hair and her own natural look.

Now the eyebrows and hair are really unflattering. Maybe the character is embracing the alien but this week it was distracting.

Other than that...solid horror episode with some good bits for M'Benga.

I'm happy to see Ortegas' PTSD fallout begin to take hold.

She needed her hair tied up for the Zero G scene. I'm sure it will be back to her normal style next episode.

Not a big zombie person either.

They've been done to death.

True enough.

I did quite enjoy this. A much higher percentage of yelling at the screen. "He's behind you!"

I have mostly avoided zombies, and was never tempted even when a star of "The Walking Dead" became the lead in a Star Trek series!

There there was "Spock's Brainssssssss".

And this parody:

I really like Captain Marie Batel. No wonder Pike loves her. So far she keeps escaping certain death.

What is the "above that" response?

I suppose I mean Corbomite Manoeuvre, Arena, Savage Curtain, Devil in the Dark, etc where knee jerk emotional, revenge-based reactions are shown to be wrong, compared to say Balance of Terror, where they are painted into a corner but the responsibility weighs heavily.

Of course, there is also the order to murder civilians in a Taste of Armageddon but I think most people think that's so heinous, it must have been code...

And as we all know, there's only one "tied up" hairstyle, so they had no choice but to make her look like that.

It's funny how much hair suddenly matters in Trek, beginning with Mount Mount. The next Trek musical should be called Hair.

Oh, please, it's mattered since Shatner showed up with a curly black wig in the first movie.

And yet, it wasn't.

Uhura and La’An took the good ones. You gotta show up early.
