Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04 - "A Space Adventure Hour"

[Noname Given]

Teaser: the bowling alley appears in my next TOS novel.

Honestly, this is a real bucket-list item. I've been wanting to work the bowling alley into a Trek book for ages, but it never seemed to fit into the plot -- until now.

Finally got there!

What about the Swimming pool?

Glad you were able to finally pin it down.

What about the Swimming pool?

It's in the Library

Just checked, there is a wide shot as they dive away from the gamma ray burst, and Spock can be seen sitting at his station. Well, it's man in blue with short shiny black hair anyway.

That is a woman with long hair on back.

I wanted so badly to enjoy it, but I just didn't. I guess I never really liked the out of control holodeck TNG episodes either.

 

[Gepard]

While there was some fun to be had in this episode, particularly the "blooper" reel at the end and the cast mugging as the holodeck characters, this was pretty easily the single worst episode of this series to date.

I dunno man, "The Serene Squall" exists.

 

[Nerys Myk]

They're Young Adult novels according to La'an.

Doing a rewatch. Nothing in La'An's description of Amelia Moon mentions it being a Young Adult series. The plot she's involved in seems a bit more adult than 1960s YA fare. Infidelity. Casual sex. A rather graphic murder.

Judy Bloom would have been Young Adult had the category existed at the time.

The creators of the show made it very obvious when they changed the timeline in tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.

It's not my head Canon, it's what the show tells us every week.

No, it doesn't suck to be me, but it must suck for so many people to be so obtuse.

You might want to pay a little more attention to that particular episode the next time you watch it.

It doesn't indicate what you think it does.

Your head canon is again, apparently based on what you want it to be, not what it actually is.

 

[The Wormhole]

They're Young Adult novels according to La'an.

No, she said she read them when she was a child since they were the only books aboard the ship that rescued her from the Gorn. Which itself implies they're aimed at an adult audience.

Of course there are exceptions. And the former bookstore manager in me has to point out it's "Judy Blume." Blume, to my knowledge didn't do YA mystery/crime.

It's just difficult to extrapolate attitudes toward representation of morals is books for pre-adults. In some countries, themes of sexuality or loose morality would be in secondary education even in the 60s.

Okay, so.... just watched and I gotta say I had the opposite reaction.

The recycled plot, the weak contrivances that strained suspension of disbelief, the silliness... etc, etc.

I thought I would dislike it, but I just could not wipe the smile off my face the entire episode. I had a blast.

Obtuse, you say? So many you say. Disagreeing with you makes me (and all of us) obtuse? A warning for Trolling is not obtuse.

Young Adult novels of today are also full of sex and violence.

And people forget the original mystery novels were full of murder and crime. Because they were...crime novels.

Exactly. She may just have been a precocious reader, reading beyond her age -- and whatever adult books were available.

By the time I was in sixth grade, I was reading the original Sherlock Holmes novels by Conan Doyle, the original James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, and the original Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, not to mention Poe, Lovecraft, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, etc.

None of which could be considered YA.


As I recall, the episode never suggested that "Amelia Moon" was a wholesome teenage sleuth like Nancy Drew. She seemed way more hard-boiled than that.

Did someone say otherwise?

ha ha, nice! It shows up in Crossroads too.

Flotter holos were a thing in Janeway's youth.

Since 2021, we already have "ABBA Voyage".

 

[Mudd]

I had no problems with the episode at all. I thought it was great.

However, I will contribute a logical nitpick:

The holodeck was programmed with the biometric data of those crewmembers who have been through the transporter a lot.

One of them is a guy who doesn't even serve on the ship. He's been aboard all of three or four times over the course of a year.
