He has, however, watched clips of what Discovery did with the characters he first filmed.

Raumschiff Enterprise (englisch Star Trek sp&228 ter auch Star Trek: The Original Series, Abk&252 rzung TOS) ist der deutsche Titel einer US-amerikanischen Science-Fiction-Fernsehserie aus den 1960er-Jahren, die von Gene Roddenberry konzipiert wurde. To him, "The Cage" was just one small part of a very long and distinguished career as a television director. When he filmed the episode, he had little idea of what Star Trek was to become. And in the years since, he has worked on so many other projects that he never capitalized on his historic role in the creation of Starfleet.
His prickly reception to Burnham’s reconciliation attempts, however, is perfect. (She and Pike were also a thing, but more on that later.) Burnham needed to be there, I guess, because she had to provide “context” to his healing process? It’s kind of vague — seems to me like she actually needed to be there because he uses her awful childhood betrayal as a psychological cornerstone, and now he’s just obfuscating — but at this point I just went with it, since the emotional and intellectual ROI was about to get very good.Maybe it’s because I’m an older sister to a younger brother, but I found Spock’s whole breakdown to be suspiciously selective in terms of when he would push through and help Burnham and when he would shut off again. Very normal! Not at all the behavior of a pervy sexual predator in the AOL chat room of space-time! Through said mind-meld, Spock sees the future the Red Angel came from, in which a veritable nuclear armageddon takes out most of the galaxy then he short-circuits due to the Red Angel’s experience of space-time being “fluid” and his own logic-dependent psyche demanding it be linear.Somehow, the Talosians heal said psyche with the help of Vina (Melissa George), the human woman from “The Cage” who was rescued by the Talosians and now works for them in exchange for them hiding her deformities with iLLuSiOnS. This is some Inception–ass psychic exposition, so hold onto your butts: turns out Spock needed the Talosians’ help to put his brain right after the Red Angel — which he confirms is definitely a human from the future — appeared to him in a second dream (recall that the first one came when he was a child, when it helped him prevent Michael’s would-be gruesome death-by-monster), invited him to a remote ice planet, and encouraged him to mind-meld with it. But the episode — in particular its production design and script, but also some positively Kubrickian cinematography — goes a long way toward justifying the choice to bring the two original Trek stars into the Disco fold.So, yes, we all go to Talos IV. I’m not convinced we really needed to go to Talos IV to “fix” Spock’s nervous breakdown, and I’m still incredulous that we all just casually trusted the Talosians after everything Pike and Spock knew all too well about their illusion-scamming habits.
Talosians’ way of “improving” themselves, of course, is that of our own society: We, too, put the burden on the oppressed to repeatedly perform and relive their suffering in service of educating the privileged. It’s the first in a trio of moments this week that are unusually subtle (for Trek, anyway) in how they comment on contemporary issues of injustice and trauma. “Survive another way!” she snaps. How we survive,” the leader responds. “This is how we understand. The beard works just fine.) And the unpacking of their relationship offers some of the smartest subtext this show has yet to produce.In exchange for their unscrambling services, the Talosians demand payment: Michael and Spock must take them on a tandem trip down memory lane, to relive their devastating childhood falling-out — their “defining experience.” Talosians are basically emotional chupacabras: Their existence is built on vicarious emotional experience, which is why they conned the Enterprise crew in “The Cage.” (Since then, it seems they’ve at least learned the value of consent.) “You want to experience our pain? Why? For your entertainment?” Burnham asks, horrified.
“It does not surprise me that you see it that way,” he responds, “but it was I who brought you here — to see what I have seen.” While the parallel doesn’t quite line up for me personally — again, I found Spock’s whole deal to be a bit spiteful they were children, and Burnham is obviously deeply contrite — the exchange is nevertheless a note-for-note recreation of the well-worn complaint of a privileged ally wanting a cookie for doing the right thing, and it’s a smart way to frame their dynamic. This is not about your feelings.” “I risked everything to bring you here,” she protests. I am not here to absolve you, Michael Burnham.
1 of being the partner (or even friend!) of someone who has gone through something that traumatic.Meanwhile, on the bridge, a few developments: Against Section 31’s express orders, Discovery has followed Spock and Burnham to Talos IV, thanks to some Talosian FaceTime, which projects Vina into Pike’s ready room to convince him to come pick them up. Stamets means well, but expecting things to go back to normal is like Cardinal Sin No. Then again, this isn’t exactly new Stamets always sort of took Culber for granted, which Culber points out before finally yelling, “What’s normal about this? … You want me to pick up where we left off but you have no idea — !” In its first season, Discovery proved it could navigate the delicate terrain of sexual assault metaphors with Tyler’s own body dysphoria and possible “violation” by L’Rell now that’s coming out again with Culber, who clearly went through a traumatic physical experience and now — like so many assault victims — is dealing with the second trauma of feeling alienated by his own body. Stamets has been trying desperately to get back to whatever fantasy version of their relationship he created in his mind after Culber’s death, steamrolling over the latter’s obvious discomfort at being in a body he doesn’t recognize. I just hope they can cry and work it out and hug by the finale otherwise my therapist is going to have an irritating few weeks.The third moment belongs to the tragic, albeit perhaps inevitable, breakup of Culmets. The interspersing of Martin-Green and Peck recreating the children’s argument as adults (and breaking my cold, dead heart in the process) makes that much obvious.
The Cage Star Trek Full Of Exceptional
This week is full of exceptional dialogue, but honorable mention must be made of this hall-of-famer from Saru: “The Starfleet Manual offers no regulatory guidelines for interactions between humans with Klingons grafted to their bones and a ship’s doctor returned from the dead.” Our post-vahar’ai Kelpien friend is sounding more like a reckless Starfleet captain every day. Someone on this show’s crew is a Star Wars nerd and I want to know who’s responsible for these droids. There are Space Roombas on Star Trek, now. And just when I was starting to trust our new stepdad! Luckily it worked out this time, but now we know that he can be manipulated in this way. He takes a fully unsettling leap of faith, though, trusting her and the Talosians to help them save Spock and Burnham and evade Section 31’s grasp, becoming fugitives from Starfleet as they rush to prevent galactic apocalypse — unsettling not only because, again, why are we blindly trusting Talosians, but also because it puts Pike in a weird position where he’s just made a personally motivated call that put the entire Discovery crew at risk.
Unfortunately he’s later forced to relieve Tyler of duty and confine him to quarters after the crew discovers his Section 31 codes have been used to pass petabytes of information to an unknown source via subspace transmission, and also to sabotage the spore drive? This was obviously Airiam, who has been hacked by the future, but this is how the plot thickens.
