    Voyager Season 8 Episode 15: Fall of Shadows Episode 8-15 – Fall of Shadows By: Seema ([email protected]) She stood in front of the mirror, eyeing her reflection critically. Kathryn Janeway was by no means a vain woman, but this morning, the first morning of the rest of her life, she wanted to make sure that her appearance was perfect in every possible way. She leaned forward. Her skin was still clear, firm, unlined with the exception of the tiny wrinkles next to the corner of her eyes that had started to make their appearance in the last year. He hair was shone, still maintaining its natural chestnut hue tinged with red. The ends of her hair curled just above her shoulders, as per Starfleet regulations; she was damned if she'd go back to the upsweep she'd worn at the beginning of her command career. Her experimentations with her hair had caused some amusement among her senior staff but in the privacy of her quarters, Janeway had known the truth: out in the Delta Quadrant, her hair, trivial as it seemed, was the one thing she could truly control. Everything else was, well, best left in the hands of fate. Janeway's lips curled up. Fate, oh the irony. She had done everything she could, including sacrificing much of herself in terms of personal and emotional commitments, to get Voyager home and now after all of that, she was leaving her fate in the hands of a Starfleet JAG. She ran her hands over the scratchy material of her dress uniform.

    Voyager Season 8 Episode 15: Fall of Shadows Part 2 Episode 8-15 – Fall of Shadows Part 2 By Seema ([email protected]) "You are Angelo Tessoni?" Hileya's voice was crisp, authoritative, and Marla could see that all present in the courtroom were focused on Hileya. "Yes, sir," Angelo replied. Marla was proud of him; he sounded confident, a far cry from the apprehension Angelo had exhibited earlier. "Are you currently assigned to the USS Voyager?" "Yes, sir, I am." "You also served on the Equinox under the command of Captain Rudolph Ransom?" "That is correct, yes, sir." "Was this your first posting?" "No, sir," Angelo responded. "I served on the Goliad under Captain Price." Hileya nodded. "And you were posted to the Goliad for how long?" "Two years, sir." "Did you request the transfer to the Equinox?" "Yes, I did." "Why is that?" "Because I wanted to spend more time on science," Angelo said earnestly. He looked over at Marla and she tipped her head slightly in acknowledgement. "The Goliad was primarily a diplomatic ship. Scientific exploration was an afterthought." "So you are a scientist?" Angelo shifted in his chair. Marla wondered if Hileya intended to pursue the same line of questioning with Angelo as he had with her. She shook her head; their stories were not vastly different. She was just thankful that Pachano had decided to call Chakotay to testify as to their good behavior while aboard Voyager; they had wanted to Janeway to speak on their behalf, but given the circumstances, that was no longer possible.

DESCRIPTORS English Instruction; Higher Education; Instructional Innovation; *Mass Media Role; Mathematics Instruction; *Popular Culture; Science Instruction; Secondary Education; Time IDENTIFIERS Deep Space 9; *Star Trek; Star Trek the Next Generation; Story Concepts ABSTRACT A teacher of reading across the curriculum uses stories, many based on the television show "Star Trek"or its derivatives "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (STNG) and "Deep Space 9," to illustrate educational theories and practice,. Theteacher began a discussion of the nature of language, meaning and the significance of literacy by discussing an episode of STNG entitled "Darmok" in which an alien race spoke only in metaphor. Humor is present in many episodes of "Star Trek," as wellas concepts like the power of fear. Cultural differences are explored in a number of episodes of STNG. The teacher uses "Star Trek"as an introduction to a lesson and as an impetus for story writing. One of the most enduring qualities of the three series is their focuson problem solving, which can serve as demonstrations for students. The series are also used for teaching the technique of role playing. Episodes of STNG and of "Deep Space 9" can be used to teach contentareas such as English, mathematics, history, physics, chemistry, and biology: "Clues" involves an examination ofspace and time; "Drumhead" involves a Joe McCarthy-like investigator; "Cause and Effect" involves a time loop; "Time's Arrow," involving backward timetravel and Mark Twain; "Emissary" deals with guilt, responsibility,and explaining the nature of time to an immortal-ace; and "The Forsaken" which involves a "shape-shifting" character.

  • Holocaust Im Holodeck? Raumschiff Enterprise Und Die Moralischen Dilemmata an Den Grenzen Des Universums
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Holocaust im Holodeck? Raumschiff Enterprise und die moralischen Dilemmata an den Grenzen des Universums Hanno Loewy Ein kobheerianischer Frachter bringt einen rätselhaften Passagier auf die Raumstation Deep Space Nine. Der Mann leidet offenbar unter einer seltenen Krankheit, dem Kalla-Nohra Syndrom. Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) lässt den Unbekannten festnehmen, denn er weckt einen Verdacht in ihr. Wie fast alle Folgen der Serie StarTrek, hierzulande besser bekannt als Raumschiff Enterprise, präsentierte auch Duet (die deutsche Fassung wurde unter dem Titel Der undurchschaubare Marritza ausgestrahlt) 1993 ein moralisches Dilemma. Und wie in so vielen Folgen von StarTrek spielten die Sternenvölker der Cardassianer und der Bajoraner dabei eine besondere Rolle. Doch davon später. Auch nach 1997, als in der nächsten Staffel Voyager sich StarTrek auf den Weg nach Hause zur Erde, machte trübten die spannungsreichen Beziehungen zwischen Cardassianern und Bajoranern so manches Mal die Stimmung an Bord. Nun ist StarTrek tatsächlich wieder „zu Hause“ angekommen. Raumschiff Enterprise fliegt nicht nur wieder, die Serie heißt nun auch so: seit September 2001 führt in den USA die fünfte Staffel der Science-Fiction Serie den Klassiker in seine eigene Vorgeschichte, seit März sind die neuen Folgen nun auch in Deutschland zu sehen. Als Kirk und Spock vor bald vierzig Jahren zu ihren Reisen ans Ende des Universums aufbrachen, konnte man sich schon denken, dass uns dort unsere eigene Gegenwart begegnen würde. Fantastische Chiffren einer amerikanischen Utopie im Umbruch, eines Melting-pot- Universalismus der seine inneren Widersprüche zu erkennen begann, der im Modell einer neuen Welt die Gegensätze der alten zu entdecken begann.

  • Back to the Future: Star Trek and the Old French Epic
    Back to the Future: Star Trek and the Old French Epic Kimberlee Campbell Harvard University Recent critics have commented that the science fiction serial Star Trek has evolved into a cyclical corpus of stories resembling traditional epic or saga. This study explores the parameters of that cyclicity in comparison with the chanson de geste. Although Star Trek borrows little content from the Middle Ages, poetic and narrative structures are markedly similar to the Old French epic. The author theorizes a generalized Western storytelling filiation, elaborated in response to similar collective need, through which past and future function equally to validate the present. Introduction In recent years, postmodern relativism, with its insistence on the ultimately untranslatable singularity of voice and experience, has come to dominate much of the way we theorize the agency and representation of our selves and our others in the world. For scholars of the medieval, this ideology, even as it seeks both to reintegrate the historical object into its material and social context and to assess the effect of the researcher’s own ethnically or historically determined agenda, has ironically served to reinforce the perceived alterity of the Middle Ages.1 As Kathleen Biddick cautions in The Shock of Medievalism, even “the new medievalism […] retraces a rigid topography of interiority and exteriority,” separating the presumably scientific study of history from sentimental or political appropriations of the medieval past (p. 2). On the other hand, in popular milieux, there is no such separation, the Middle Ages furnishing, naively, anachronistically or not, archetypal models for a contemporary Western mythos.

  • Major Kira of Star Trek: Ds9: Woman of the Future, Creation of the 90S
    MAJOR KIRA OF STAR TREK: DS9: WOMAN OF THE FUTURE, CREATION OF THE 90S Judith Clemens-Smucker A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2020 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Brown Kristen Rudisill © 2020 Judith Clemens-Smucker All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor The 1990s were a time of resistance and change for women in the Western world. During this time popular culture offered consumers a few women of strength and power, including Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Major Kira Nerys, a character encompassing a complex personality of non-traditional feminine identities. As the first continuing character in the Star Trek franchise to serve as a female second-in-command, Major Kira spoke to women of the 90s through her anger, passion, independence, and willingness to show compassion and love when merited. In this thesis I look at the building blocks of Major Kira to discover how it was possible to create a character in whom viewers could see the future as well as the current and relatable decade of the 90s. By laying out feminisms which surround 90s television and using original interviews with Nana Visitor, who played Major Kira, and Marvin Rush, the Director of Photography on DS9, I examine the creation of Major Kira from her conception to her realization. I finish by using historical and cognitive poetics to analyze both the pilot episode “Emissary” and the season one episode “Duet,” which introduce Major Kira and display character growth.
