Star Trek: The Alternative Factor (First Watch: E27)

Death count: strangled (dead?? Alive??) red shirt.  Knocked out? Poisoned? Blue shirt (Lt. Masters)  His head is hurt, and he fell off a cliff face. Red shirt knocked out.  Kirk…winked out of existence??  No, film negative = antimatter?

He’s signing those PADDs, isn’t he?

Well, that’s.  Different.

We heard you call this ‘fascinating’ so we decided to do it again, just ‘cause you liked it so much the first time.

We should see Bones again.  It’s been a bit.

UFO!!

That shiny blue is pretty.

I like the Lieutenant with an afro.  She’s cool.

It’s not perfect, but things like Star Trek, The Flash, etc., how do they just so casually have more of a diversity to casting, and these days we can’t or make a big deal about it?  What’s wrong with today?

Hey, McCoy, I was just saying it’s been a while since we’ve seen you.

Which admiral was that again?

Black Guardian?  Black Lantern?  ???

How?  By yelling at it?  What was your plan??

Uhura playing with captain’s chair buttons.

Bones calling himself ‘bright’ and ‘young’.  Just grin, man.

…why is the mess hall just full of blue shirts??

There’s a red shirt.  Oh, hey, there’s a few yellow shirts, just not in that shot.

You saying he has a multiple personality disorder issue?

I believe you weren’t hallucinating.  Things are getting super weird around here.

Okay, friends not trusting each other is a big issue for me.  Not surprised, though.

You’re scaring me a little.

Redshirt goes right after Lazarus.  Good idea.

I think we’re dealing with Ahab.  Who might also happen to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  He’s practically the whole literary classic canon.

Protect the patient.

It might’ve gotten sucked out of existence, the Doctor Who tears in time sort of thing.

Oh, hey.  He might also be the Time Traveler.

“Sometimes pain can drive a man harder than pleasure; you know that, Doctor.” –Kirk (I’m sorry, what.  Maybe I’ve read too much fanfic, but I say again.  What.)

You’re dealing with the Reverse Flash, I think, Laz.

Seem to be.  I see where you’re going with this, Spock.

In fact, other universes are suggested in quantum physics.  (Though they’re usually small, not mirror or parallel)

The multiple personality, good.

Is this before the antimatter drive stuff?  I thought that was a part of Starfleet ships, but.

Doc, you keeping a good eye on him or not?  He’s out again.

Duty!

Why doesn’t the red shirt mention ‘oh yeah, hey, by the way, I got knocked out by Lazarus who beamed down’ instead of just staying silent and following orders?

Matter Captain in the universe of antimatter is probably not good.

You say ‘time’, but with time travel, that’s not necessarily true.

And Frankenstein and his monster.

Don’t mind me, I’m trying to help.  (Just watching the Captain.)

I’m also not the antimatter Captain, not that you know that.

(they’re well trained not to react to all the weirdness that comes from being stationed on the Enterprise)

Uhm.  Aren’t you going to make a report to the admiralty?  No?  …Okay, big, universe destroying thing, and they were all worried, and they don’t need to know???  Mark me down as ‘highly confused’. 

Also surprised McCoy didn’t come to yell at Kirk about his patient.
