so I'm watching Star Trek Strange New worlds and this show has me fucked up by episode two(3?). Like you're going to reveal that a character is Illyrian, a race that is banned from joining Starfleet due to the eugenics wars. You're going to have her share that information with multiple crew members and her boss in an attempt to help save them from a mysterious light based illness. And then. And then. And then.

She's going to talk to her commander, confess to her crime of lying about her race. Attempt to explain that illaryians don't modify their genetics the way other species did. They didn't change to be stronger than each other, to remove weakness. They changed their biology to suit the planets they discovered. Instead of terraforming worlds to suit them they changed themselves to suit the world's they discovered.

And everyone is mostly okay with what she is.

But then her personal log at the end.

Explaining silently that she doesn't feel good even though everyone was okay with it, because she was a hero today, and she shouldn't have to be a hero to be allowed to exist. She should just be allowed to exist as an illaryian.

And then the pause, and then "computer delete log."

I'm going to go feral about this show. My brain is full of bees.

Yeah, I can believe the fanon that Jack Ransom had a poster of Una Chin-Riley on his bedroom wall when he was growing up.

But you know who had that same poster?

Kathryn Janeway, that’s who.

Pike & Una are mom and dad, but in that order. Una has big d action himbo energy and I love it. I can't believe that after she slomo carried Hemmer like a sack of potatoes in the previous ep, she had an honest to god "tis but a scratch!" moment in this one. Meanwhile Pike cooks for the kids, encourages their talents, makes them do their homework, and authorizes culturally enriching field trips.

// Look at these beautiful people.  I love this cast so much, and I LOVE Star Trek: Strange New Worlds even more.

(Since Carol Kane’s character, Chief Engineer Pelia, didn’t get a promo image, I’m including her previously released promo pic here.)

This makes my First Contact Day a thousand times better.  Though...y’know...wouldn’t mind it if they had a S2 trailer waiting in the wings...maybe...?  Hey, even if they don’t, this makes me happy as hell.

Captain's log, stardate 2291.6. En route to deliver a crucial shipment of grain to a colony on Setlik II, we encountered something more pressing: a time traveler.
