Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium"

[Nerys Myk]

Discovery never did one?

Wasn't the Tilly and the cadets episode one of those?

No clue, didn't watch Discovery.

 

[Finn]

Discovery never did one?

Been a while, but I think the one where we first met Jett Reno, the shuttle was crashing....Not sure if it counts.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Will this be our very first "shuttle crash episode" of the modern Trek era!?

Discovery had a shuttle crash episode with Tilly and the cadets.

The Agimus episode of Lower Decks was them trapped on the planet following a shuttle crash.

 

[Mudd]

True. Even just looking at Trek it’s kind of a staple at this point. Off the top of my head we have:

“Arena”
“Darmok”
“The Enemy”
“The Ascent”
“Waltz”
“Dawn”

Maybe this’ll be another entry?

Maybe.

This show's One Neat Trick is that, for better or worse, whatever you expect of an episode going in it'll probably turn out to be a bit of something else.

Enterprise: Shuttlepod One, probably one of the better of both the "shuttle disaster" trope and Enterprise overall.

Well, every Trek episode worth talking about (good and bad) does this.

"Oh, Kirk and Spock have to hunt down a crazy McCoy before he destroys the past."

Nope, Kirk is going to fall in love and has to let the woman he loves dies to save the future and... Best episode the franchise has done in 60 years.

 

[MarcKyle1964]

Ortega has been a great breakout character for SNW - which means they'll get rid of her like Hemmer. I'd have preferred him to Peila.

 

[Mudd]

Hemmer was only ever there to die.

 

[Dukhat]

I would not remotely call Ortegas a breakout character.

Hemmer was only ever there to die.

Is Pelia going to die too?

 

[Finn]

Or is she gonna to be on the Academy show?

 

[The Wormhole]

Been a while, but I think the one where we first met Jett Reno, the shuttle was crashing....Not sure if it counts.

That was actually a crashed starship. I know, I'm only splitting hairs.

 

[Finn]

That was Reno's old ship. But I could have sworn they took the shuttle in...due to the debris and the asteroids....and plot and it kinda crashed amongst the debris. But I might not be remembering it right. I'm not up for a rewatch

 

[Nerys Myk]

Is Pelia going to die too?

Why? Different character, created for a different reason.

 

[The Wormhole]

That was Reno's old ship. But I could have sworn they took the shuttle in...due to the debris and the asteroids....and plot and it kinda crashed amongst the debris. But I might not be remembering it right. I'm not up for a rewatch

Oh, that. They were flying one-man pods to get through the asteroid field. During the flight, Enterprise science officer Connelly began arrogantly mansplaining things and ended up crashing his pod and dying.

 

[Michael]

Enterprise: Shuttlepod One, probably one of the better of both the "shuttle disaster" trope and Enterprise overall.

I was exclusively listing episodes where a “character is stuck on an planet with an enemy”. So no, “Shuttlepod One” would not fit that bill. And neither would “Brother” or “All Is Possible” for that matter.

 

[Tuskin38]

which means they'll get rid of her like Hemmer.

If they were going to do that it would have happened already.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Starfleet officer and enemy on the planet, when common ground was found.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Oh, that. They were flying one-man pods to get through the asteroid field. During the flight, Enterprise science officer Connelly began arrogantly mansplaining things and ended up crashing his pod and dying.

He was an odd duck of a blue shirted redshirt. Why he felt the need to bring up that his roommate at the academy was half Caitian in the middle of his pissing contest I have no idea.

 

[Dukhat]

Why? Different character, created for a different reason.

What reason is that? Other than to skedaddle once Scotty takes over, that is.
