It’s been so long since Star Trek Serial received fate Fans and critics approve With his first season as Strange new worlds she has. Part of this success came from the creative team’s desire to fully blend stories and traditions from both classic and current a tripwhile creating new narrative bridges that connect events and/or characters from original series. many Paramount + subscribers You will probably agree to that Strange new worlds Taking a lot of risks in Season 1, considering all the directions the franchise has taken since those earlier days, co-host Henry Alonso Myers himself would agree.
When CinemaBlend spoke with Henry Alonso Myers about Star Trek: Strange New WorldsIn the first season, I asked him if he felt any anxiety or fear before the new episodes premiered, regarding how audiences perceive the decisions the creative team makes. Myers explained what his headspace looked like each week throughout Season 1, and how he dealt with any concerns that emerged, saying:
So, there was something in every episode where I was like, I don’t want to say terrified, but I thought, ‘I don’t know what they’re going to do with that,’ but we were going for something. And I could point to every single one of them and say this was a swing that we took, and I’m proud that we did that swing. Whether it works for everyone or not, I feel like people are going to say, “Well, it really felt like Star Trek.” And that, to me, was kind of a thing.
the original Star Trek The series is, basically, the beloved foundation that evolved into a successful film and television franchise, and during that Strange new worlds You could have played it safe and avoided stories that would directly affect the original series, but co-anchors Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman took no such precautions. Hell, they made the end of the season that remixed the icon Star Trek episode With a unique touch, that’s just one of the biggest storytelling dangers they’ve given.
For another example, Star Trek: Strange New WorldsThe writing staff knew from the start that they wanted to kill Hummer, the enterprise’s chief engineer. Hemmer went on to become a fan favorite as the season continued, making his death controversial for some (even if Actor Bruce Horak himself agreed). Henry Alonso Myers went on to explain about creative risk taking, specifically referring to Heymer’s death as one of the people he loved, saying:
You don’t want to look at your season and say, “Phew, we didn’t take any risks, thank God!” You want to look back and say, “Boy, I hope these risks pay off,” because I know as a viewer that I love it when they take risks. I love him when [shows] Try different things. Hemmer’s death is heartbreaking, but, oh my God, it’s one of the best scenes we’ve done all season. It’s such a beautiful sight… It just makes me cry. The way Bruce performs, Celia performs… And Melissa and Celia’s funeral speech is a really touching scene, and it works wonders for Aura’s character.
Hemmer’s death may have been so devastating that it angered some fans, but it’s this kind of emotional reaction that Star Trek: Strange New WorldsThe writing staff wanted. Aenar’s death is a sad one, but the emotions it sparked eventually led to Uhura’s decision to stay at Starfleet where, as fans know, she led a very successful career.
And while some fans may not agree with Hemmer’s death or any of the other big staff flips with new characters like Angel, they all ultimately served a greater purpose. Henry Alonso Myers explained the purpose of killing Hummer, who tried to defy the people a trip Metaphorically, deaths in anticipation of the wings are ultimately illogical. In his words:
A death like this has to be important. You want it to feel real. This is a world where people die. It has become a joke when the red shirt owner dies it means nothing. Part of our goal was to remind the public of what it means for the owner of the red jersey to die. That it has some resonance, that there is drama coming out of it… The core of what we try to do in Strange New Worlds is tell the stories of the characters through genre.
