Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x05 - "Through the Lens of Time"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Gamble had already killed one crew member -- and attacked others -- before he was sent to the brig. Batel went berserk and attacked . . . the crazed crew member attacking people.
Paramount Plus has it listed as Through the Lense of Time
….weeelll, yeah, I guess…
I have to presume it's going to get fixed. Can't see a typo in an episode title standing.
Wait...So the one on the ground was dead? I thought he was just unconscious and the first actual kill the Malevolent Entity killed was the Redshirt outside the Brig?
My understanding is he was dead.
Are we sure about that? Or are they a sister species (or human mutation) most of us just aren’t aware of until sometime in the future?
Unfortunately, not. Would that they did.
I enjoyed this one a lot. Yes, it reminded me of Event Horizon (although I haven't watched Event Horizon again since the first time I saw it because it traumatized me and my son big time
).
I am one who didn't mind the opening conversation between the couples. It cemented the genuine love between Chapel and Korby for me - a real thing, not escape or rebound. And I was relieved that the whole "you wanted/you want" between Spock and Laan was about their desire to continue the dance - only horizontally. No drama, just sexy fun times.
There were proper hints of Roger bucking against any sense of imposed authority over his research that will inform his future demise. I loved how Christine stopped him from slicing open his hand - yeah, let's just take a minute here, buddy, I'll bet there's another way. He would never gotten out of that alive without Christine's good sense (and the cleverness of her crewmates).
We all suspected Gamble would be a goner before the end of the season. At least we got to meet him and like him before the inevitable.

And the ubiquitous stone quarries in vintage DOCTOR WHO.
Heck, watch enough classic Hammer Horror flicks and you'll start seeing the same sets, furnishings, and locations popping up over and over.
"Ah, there's that same lonely wooded crossroads again. And that staircase. And that decorative fountain . . . ."
That was great! I gave it a 9! Would give it an 8.5 but feeling generous because they actually got to a strange new world and uncovered the remains of a new civilization!
Loved the creepy atmosphere! Mostly good stuff in this episode.
The only down side was that the Enterprise crew didn't come of so well for the first part. Very unprofessional and kind of juvenile at the beginning with the goofy teen romance stuff. Add to that the flawed decision-making when they discover the corpses. It's a no brainer to just step outside the structure to report the ship. At that point, they didn't know that they had to go with Chapel so it might not have ended well but it would've been the correct call. That stuff brought the rating down a bit.
But overall, this was a very good one! Wondering where they're going next with it? Presumably, the Gorn and the new species are ancient enemies.

A 10 year old would be just fine watching this episode.
More that we got some Call of Cthulhu in our Star Trek.
This is great, back on form after last week's trash.
More of this, please. The ancient alien spirits were a little reminiscent of "Power Play"

But the main cast were never going to die in regular Star Trek episodes either, unless a contract came up. It's not IF they'll make it, that is always a given. It's HOW they'll make it.
I mostly agree. 8-year-old me was watching Robocop and playing Leisure Suit Larry.
Wasn't part of the tension of Best of Both Worlds was that Patrick's contract was up for renegotiation?
