31: Pike and Batel's Nexus Adventure
<p>“New Life and New Civilizations”</p> <p>Cleared to return to active duty as director of the Starfleet Judge Advocate General's Office, Captain Batel sees a bright future ahead—at least until she learns that she is actually a statue. And not just any statue, but the one that keeps the ancient evil known as the Vezda sealed away so they can't wreak havoc on the universe. That's a job she really needs to get back to because the reconstituted body of Nurse Gamble has greeted Doctor Korby on the planet Skygowan, and things are not looking good for galactic peace. But before she can step back onto the pedestal, she has to take Captain Pike on a trip down memory lane to share their life together in a future where he was never injured while training cadets. And also, Kirk and Spock become one.</p> <p>In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “New Life and New Civilizations.” We discuss the resolution to the Batel and Vezda stories, potential pathways for Pike, and look back at Season 3 as a whole.</p> <p>Chapters<br /> Intro (0:00:00)<br /> Batel Transformed (00:02:44)<br /> A Walk Down Future Memory Lane (00:14:32)<br /> Many Pathways for Pike?

This Is a Test of the Emergency Metron System
<p>“Terrarium”</p><p>While investigating a peculiar area of uncharted space—a region legendary for strange phenomena—the Enterprise finds it impossible to get proper reading from probes due to highly volatile gravimetric waves. Ortegas flies the shuttle Archimedes into the turmoil to gather data firsthand. But when a wormhole suddenly opens up and sends the shuttle tumbling into a moon orbiting a gas giant, Ortegas must fight to survive. She has to find shelter, food, and water, but there’s one obstacle she wasn’t counting on: the Gorn. With the clock ticking before the moon passes through the planet’s thermosphere, the two enemies find common ground. When the Enterprise finally arrives to rescue them, it is revealed that the whole situation was just a test staged by the Metrons.</p><p>In this episode of Saddle Up! hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our journey through Strange New Worlds with “Terrarium.” We discuss the connection to the Original Series classic "Arena," character development for Ortegas, Uhura's stint as a scientist, the Metrons, and more.</p><p>Chapters</p><p>Intro (0:00:00)</p><p>Fixing Ortegas (00:02:57)</p><p>Differing Responses (00:13:38)</p><p>Seeking Understanding (00:17:49)</p><p>Uhura the Scientist (00:24:08)</p><p>Hey, Hey, We're the Metrons!
