Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x10 - "New Life and New Civilizations"

[Kamen Rider Blade]

While I don't doubt the US (or any) government might have a contingency plan for an actual zombie apocalypse, I doubt very much that information about it, or any of their contingency plans are available for civilians to Google.

Here's the link for the CDC plan for the Zombie OutBreak.

The CONPLAN 8888 was declassified and is publically available via FOIA.

It was also a training exercise in plan writing since nobody takes the "Zombie Apocalypse" as a realistic scenario.

It's just something for Plan Writters to work on as a Academic Exercise.

So, question: did Batel turn into a Gary Mitchell god-like figure? I figured that was the reason for the focus on the eyes. Anyway, it was an entertaining episode. Pike got the Inner Light treatment to give him the life he'll be denied -- much more satisfying here than in TNG. They're only now embarking on a 5 year mission?

I wondered that too. There have been several comics and novels that have suggested that the transformation was akin to blended hybridisation between psi-sensitives and psychic entities within the barrier, which is not a far cry from the kind of possession we see here. So maybe the flower allowed Batel to hybridise with more than just human, gorn, and Illyrian. Maybe there are other psychic entities that view the Vesda as enemies. That might explain how she jumped to conclusions about her abilities.

I watched the episode, it was good.
