Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4x02 - "The Griffin Incident"

[Jedman67]

Just watched it.
Zombie/spookie is definitely not my style, but I can appreciate the effort.
So, tl;dr, we're meant to believe that everything the away team sees is just the 'nerve agent' (or whatever) giving them visions? Spock cut himself, right? And the phantom of Harper that Laan sees out the window is real? Unknown?

Bonus: I guessed at the beginning when Pike and Co beamed aboard the Griffin were also phantoms.
8/10, solid episode.

EDIT: Correction: TV-PG-V (for "scary images").

Paramount+ has updated it to TV-14-V.

TV ratings are confusing. The IMDb ratings seem to make the most sense here.

And yet Eddie Paskey and Mr. Leslie showed up in over 50 episodes of TOS, more than Chekov, Chapel or Rand. Truly an MVP of the franchise.

The man had some dedication. He died in "Obsession" and came back to work in another 13 episodes. A credit to his red shirt, that one.

He was 50 episodes of awesome in a 37-episode bag.

Let's not forget: there's a post-"The Cage" episode of the TOS and TAS era that doesn't have Captain Kirk at all. Shatner didn't have to show up and it's the only Trek made between 1965 and 1974 that didn't have William Shatner on the call sheet.

SF novelist Larry Niven was not a Kirk/Shatner fan, so he proposed an adaptation of his short story, “The Soft Weapon”, which only required three main characters (Uhura, Sulu and Spock) and the kzinti antagonists.

The kahs-wan, the Vulcan maturity test first seen in #StarTrekTAS' "Yesteryear"⬆️ has now been featured twice more, in #StarTrekENT's "The Catwalk"↙️ and #StarTrekSNW's "The Griffin Incident"↘️. If you have a problem with Vulcan girls now doing it too, please yell at the ENT writers... or the...

I knew that term sounded familiar.
