  • A Voice in the Dark
    Star Trek: Excelsior Season Five Script Pitch 1 – First Draft by Alexandra Whitley Summary Lorhrok receives secret messages left by Rol in case of a Borg threat. But the threat is not assimilation: the Borg have recognized that the Federation, dead or alive, poses a problem only in its potential to unify enemies in a common cause, and that the best way to resolve that problem is to undermine the Federation’s democratic process. The Excelsior crew must choose what moral compromises they will make to infiltrate the Borg hacking system and frame the Zero. However, even with election tampering eliminated, a populist demagogue who mobilizes fear sparked by the evacuation of the core worlds wins the presidential election, which takes the crew’s relationships in unexpected directions. A Note on Politics This episode touches on the populism and ethno-nationalism that have swept Western democracies in the last decade, and on the fragility of democratic process in an information age. The script aims to depict these issues as larger than the party politics of any specific country. Let’s see if we can tackle the topics without making it all about Trump, and let’s differentiate between far-right populism and conservatism. The relationships of our characters take the center, and ideally they arouse some empathy for people on different sides of the spectrum in today’s world. The populist candidate is intentionally far removed from Trump in expression and diction. As the script goes through revisions, it is important to avoid cheap shots: no “make the Federation great again.” In theory, the space adventure prompted by a note from beyond Rol’s grave could be riven from the political plot, and I would be willing to work on the script in that form if you just don’t see Excelsior going the places this script takes it.

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.
