Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Among the Lotus Eaters (2023)
The most annoying thing was the high pitched whine
The story was good but the high pitched whining was awful. This wasn't one of the better episodes. There was a lot that wasn't consistent. They don't remember their names or how to practice medicine but Captain Pike knows how to use a gun? He remembers how to fight? If they aren't supposed to be able to remember processes and how to do things he shouldn't be able to fight effectively. Alternatively the doctor should be able to remember how to practice medicine but he cannot until he regains his memories.
All it took was for the voice of the computer (sounding like it's still Majel Barrett, a lovely homage) to sort out Lt Oretas. An affirmation that yes, she is the pilot shook her out of a terrified funk and sent her back to the bridge to save the day. There was too much foreshadowing, the start of the episode made clear that Ortegas was going to play a pivotal role in the resolution. I would preferred less overt foreshadowing.
Not a bad episode but not one of the better ones.
