S1E03: "Ghosts of Illyria"
stworzony przez wonder2wonderSTAFFMOD 20 maja 2022 o godz. 6:43AM
"The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise investigate an Illyrian colony on the planet Hetemet IX. It was mysteriously abandoned by its inhabitants. The Illyrians are a humanoid species from the Delphic Expanse who have used genetic modification to adapt their bodies to the planets they colonize. They are considered augments by the Federation and - in the wake of the Eugenics Wars - not allowed to join. With an ion storm approaching, almost everyone of the landing party manage to transport back to the ship. Pike and Spock are left behind and hide in the library. Soon the returned crew members discover that they have brought a virus with them aboard. This causes all who are infected, except for Una, to become so attracted to light, that they hurt themselves just to get as close as possible to light sources. Una's secret makes her immune to this virus and together with M'Benga, who was responsible for the medical transporter malfunction that allowed the virus onto the ship in the first place, she must find a cure before the crew kill themselves. "

In other words, the crew become moths?
Sheesh.

The crew don't turn into moths, although their behaviour does appear to mimic that of moths. While moths are drawn to bright lights - positive phototaxis - because they confuse its navigational systems, the reason for the crew's attraction to light is different. No, they don't all want a tan.
They are infected by a virus that travels on light. It propagates in a host, then triggers a spreading response, e.g. a common cold makes humans sneeze to transfer itself to other humans. Once you're exposed, this virus triggers your pleasure centers when you are in close contact with light. Light is literally everywhere. Any light wave could carry the infection.

The point about moths was moths getting so close to a light source that it kills them.

On the other hand, what could happen is that when the infected die in an ion storm, their electromagnetic presence bond with the ion particles and they turn into plasma creatures.

I just have no patience for off-the-cuff time-travel and what-not, just because the writers/producers/etc can't think of anything better.

I understand. It's becoming just like the other NuTrek shows with a not so subtle message. I'd hoped it would be just Pike and his five year mission, not with all that emotional baggage included, which makes it less enjoyable. I'll be a wee bit content if there is no time travel at all in this show, but I'm afraid there will be.

I don't think they can stop themselves.
And I don't find this Pike impressive at all, compared to Jeffrey Hunter he's some kind of California Pajama Boy.

Pike has seven more episodes to impress or he will be assimilated. The ladies want to see him shirtless like Kirk.

I suspect that he won't be impressive shirtless either.

I'm already impressed with Captain Pike. It doesn't matter to me whether he takes off his shirt or not.

He's a "soy boy" compared to Jeffrey Hunter.
