Top 6 Takeaways from "War Without" After Trek

Last night's After Trek zeroed in on "The War Without, The War Within," with host Matt Mira leading a discussion with Doug Jones, Star Trek: Discovery executive producer/director Olatunde Osunsanmi, and Dear White People creator Justin Simien, who's also a major Trek fan.

Here are our top six After Trek takeaways:

The Georgiou Surprise

Jones noted Saru's shock at seeing Emperor Georgiou in the Discovery transporter room, asking, "Where the heck did she come from?" Mira wondered if Saru would have acted impulsively, like Burnham did, to save Georgiou. "There would be the mom figure that I have an emotional attachment to," he replied. "Would I want to save that? yes. But I'm also well aware by now, then, that she would have wanted me for dinner. So, I think self-preservation would say, 'You can just stay right here in this little mirror universe.' That's what I would have said."

9 Months of Hell.

Discovery, upon her return home to our universe, wound up off the mark by nine months, enough time for the Klingons to have taken control and left Starfleet decimated and on the defensive. That alone, Osunsanmi argued, was enough to explain Admiral Cornwell boarding the Discovery by force and Sarek mind-melding with the crew, also by force. "What do you have to go through to institute that? And have it be so normal," he asked. "They're so efficient about it. So, they've done it before. You imagine they've gone through a lot. And I can imagine you could probably do a whole series on those nine months."

Celebrating Black History Month

After Trek, in its first bumper video, took note of Black History Month. And it did with shoutouts to Nichelle Nichols and Avery Brooks. 

All You Need Is Love

Mira led the group in a conversation about the present and future of the Burnham-Tyler relationship. Can it be saved? Is there any hope for them? Mira pointed to the beautiful scene between Sarek and Burnham, in which the Vulcan urges her to never forget loving someone, and the scene in which Tilly pleaded with Burnham to talk to Tyler. "I certainly hope that love trumps all," Osunsanmi said. "You find out your lover is a Klingon... That's a lot... We'll see what (the writers) come up with."

Quoteworthy

After Trek's "Quoteworthy" segment included a trio of memorable comments by Sarek, Tilly and Cromwell.

Tales from the Set

In the latest "Tales from the Set" interstitial piece, Mary Wiseman talked about how the cast and crew has grown more and more comfortable with each other over time. And that's led to more and more singing, dancing, joking and impressions. Check out the video for some of that dancing...

Next on Discovery

Viewers were treated to a juicy clip from next week's episode, the first-season finale. In it, Emperor Georgiou and Saru sniped at one another on the Discovery bridge. "She's looking at me," Jones joked, "like I'm delicious."

Discovery Episode #14 Primer

Star Trek: Discovery's 14th episode, "The War Without, The War Within," will air this weekend. StarTrek.com gets you ready with both a preview of the new episode and a look back at least week's installment, "What's Past Is Prologue"…

"Today," Mirror Lorca declared to his followers, "is the day we reclaim our empire." Mirror Landry is by his side, ready to have some… fun. "They told us you were dead," she notes. Lorca asks, "And you believed them?" Landry smiles. "Not for a second, sir."

Lorca has been to another universe and back, and he insists that Emperor Georgiou's ship is exactly where it needs to be. "You think I'd come all this way without a plan?"

Discovery captain's log, stardate 1834.2. En route to Terran Flagship, the spore drive is operational again, thanks to the full recovery of Stamets. But Stamets was unable to save Discovery's mycelium crop. Stamets' fear is that Mirror Stamets has already contaminated the network, with possibly "catastrophic results."

The Discovery and Charon are both powered by mycelium, but not in the same way. "We ride along the network with the spores," Tilly explains. "That orb (on the Charon) is pulling power directly out of the network." The process is poisoned… and untenable. Mirror Stamets was seeking a solution when he got trapped in the network with Stamets. "The network will continue to deteriorate, everywhere," Stamets says. "Here in this universe, back in ours, across the entire multiverse…" Saru asks, "And when it does?" Stamets replies, "Life as we know it will cease to exist."

On the Charon, Lorca taunts Emperor Georgiou. "Hello, Philippa…" He contends the Terrans need a leader who'll preserve their race and way of life. "Try as you might, it's clearly not you," Lorca spits. "Even Michael knew that. It was her great shame." Lorca implores those on the ship to renounce Georgiou… and live. As always, "Burnham is not to be touched. She is integral to our future plans, a future where we, together, will make the empire glorious again."

Mirror Stamets, with Mirror Lorca's help, concludes that an ion storm swapped the Lorcas' transporter signatures. "To me, it was physics acting as the hand of destiny…" he declares. "… My destiny."

Mirror Lorca's forces battle with the emperor's in a firefight. Emperor Georgiou escapes via emergency transport. "You didn't warn me she could do that, Mr. Stamets," Mirror Lorca growls. Mirror Landry looks to Mirror Lorca and asks, "Please tell me we can kill him now?" Mirror Lorca says that depends on whether Mirror Stamets can disable an emergency transport system. "I can," Mirror Stamets swears, bartering for his life. "I can do that."

On the Charon, Burnham reports to Saru aboard the Discovery. Saru says it's good to see her, calling "my friend." She reveals to Saru that Lorca is one of them… Terran. "He used us and the Discovery to jump here, to his own universe," Burnham explains. "It was his plan all along." Saru questions how did he not sense anything. Stamets realizes how Mirror Lorca played him, altering the coordinates of his last jump. It hits the entire crew: they've been fooled and betrayed, and the risk remains that Mirror Lorca will take Discovery back to "our" universe and bring the whole Terran fleet with him.

Mirror Lorca has his mu-ha-ha-ha moment by the Terran throne, then prepares to drop Mirror Stamets into a living core of the mycelial network. "It's poetic justice, don't you think?" he muses. "The scientist destroyed by his own creation? Just kidding… I hate poetry." With that, Mirror Landry shoots him in the back. They can barely celebrate, as Landry learns of an unauthorized ship-to-ship transmission. "That'll be my Burnham," Mirror Lorca says.

Mirror Lorca wants Burnham by his side. She belongs here… with him. Starfleet, he claims, "is a social experiment doomed to failure. Childish idealism. Every species. Every choice. Every opinion is NOT equal, no matter how much they want it to be. The strong and the capable will always rise. Like you and me." Burnham's gifts, he tells her, surpass Mirror Burnham's. "I see your power and I'm offering you a future," he remarks. "I have been since the day I brought you to Discovery. Take it." The conversation, held over comm, gives Burnham time to elude Landry.

Burnham and Emperor Georgiou engage in conversation, each dropping bombshells. Mirror Lorca has taken everything from her, Emperor Georgiou asserts, including (Mirror) Burnham. "You lost a daughter, an empire," Burnham tells the emperor. "I lost a captain, and a life. Both versions of me betrayed both versions of you. I won't let that happen again. And I won't let you die again." She promises to stop Mirror Lorca. "I see why he is so enamored with you," Emperor Georgiou replies. "You almost make me believe you can do it." Burnham promises she will do it.

Saru rallies his Discovery crew. His species can sense the coming of death and he doesn't sense it today… because he's surrounded by a team he trusts. "And, make no mistake," he vows, "Discovery is no longer Lorca's. She is ours. And today will be her maiden voyage. We have a duty to perform, and we will not accept a no-win scenario."

Mirror Lorca settles in on his throne. Landry informs him Emperor Georgiou's lords and senior officers are dead; everyone else has sworn allegiance to him. "I've just been thinking about everyone who's ever said victory felt empty when it was attained," Lorca notes. "What a bunch of idiots they were."

Burnham arrives… with Emperor Georgiou as offering. She won't let another crew die on her watch. Mirror Lorca asks if she's prepared "to condemn Philippa here to death." Burnham replies, "… She's not my Philippa." She offers herself to Mirror Lorca in exchange for the lives of her crew: "But know this… I'm offering you my mind. Nothing more." Lorca agrees and says, "Welcome home, Michael."

Stamets and Tilly work side by side on the Discovery. There may be a way out of this: "the mother of mycelial shockwaves," as Stamets puts it. In a nice moment, Stamets thanks Tilly for inspiring him; they share a smile. "Now," he requests, "please inform the captain of your findings. Looks like we may be going home after all." Mirror Lorca appears on viewscreen. The crew won't die today because Burnham chose to be with him. "I am where I need to be, Saru," Burnham states. "This is my place."

The battle is on. Phasers blast the throne room. Emperor Georgiou fights Mirror Lorca, Mirror Landry and Lorca's loyalists. Mirror Lorca does everything possible not to harm Burnham. Burnham finally gets the upper hand. "We would've helped you get home," she says. "If you had asked. That's who Starfleet is. That's who I am. That's why I won't kill you now." Enter the emperor. "But I will," she declares, and runs a sword through his back. Mirror Lorca stumbles toward Burnham. "We could have…" And, with that, Emperor Georgiou shoves Mirror Lorca into the core below."

Emperor Georgiou and Burnham prepare to part ways. "Find a way home," the emperor implores. "Live." Enemy forces approach. Meanwhile, Saru orders Burnham transported back to Discovery. As the process begins, Burnham pulls the emperor next to her.

It's time for Discovery to jump. Stamets steps into the spore chamber. Discovery enters the Charon's interior, heading toward the core. Fire! Spores everywhere. A bubble of sorts protects the Discovery. "The ambient mycelial energy is interacting with the drive," Tilly announces. The spore drive engages. It's working, Stamets shouts. The network is regenerating. Something's not quite right, though. Stamets doesn't know where to go.

In the mycelial network, Dr. Culber comes to Stamets. "The network is a gift," he tells Stamets. "It's the thread that weaves life through space." The doctor tells his partner to follow the music, their beloved opera. "The way," Stamets marvels, "it's clearing in the forest." Discovery emerges on the other side, safely. "Thanks, Hugh," Stamets says, before ordering Tilly to figure out where – and when – they are.

It turns out they overshot… by nine months. Saru scans the war map. "If the map is to be believed, it appears… the Klingons have won the war."

Next on Discovery...

In "The War Without, The War Within," Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery crew are faced with the harsh reality of the war during their absence. In order to move forward, Starfleet must use unconventional tactics and sources to take their next action against the Klingons.

Worth Noting

The trailer for "The War Without, The War Within" heralds the return of Admiral Cornwell and Sarek. Cornwell divulges that the fleet is down by a full third, while Sarek says "Starfleet tactics have failed us." The latest looming fight is personal to Burnham, who notes, "I started this war, and I needed to finish it." And it looks like two unlikely figures – Emperor Georgiou and Sarek – are about to team up.

Shakespeare & Trek from TOS to Discovery

"We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars, as if we were villains on necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion." (King Lear, act 1, scene 2)

Star Trek: Discovery's Mirror Universe episodes have two titles and several narrative threads inspired by the writings of William Shakespeare, continuing a tradition linking the Bard to the 23rd and 24th centuries that began in the earliest days of Star Trek. Indeed, there has always been a connection between Star Trek and literature, even before a single episode was filmed. Gene Roddenberry's March 11, 1964, memo proposing his show describes James T. Kirk's prototype Robert M. April as "a space-age Captain Horation (sic) Hornblower, lean and capable both mentally and physically," referring to C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower novels that started during the 1930s. (Germaine to our discussion here as a fun note, the name "Horatio" was itself inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet).

However, few literary artists get as much reference in Star Trek adventures as Shakespeare. From episode titles to entire plots, the use of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets fit well in the worlds of the future because many of the same themes – love, adventure, exploration, friendship, rivalries, and the qualities that make the human condition – which Shakespeare captured in his writings with unique wit are relevant to the worlds of Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Burnham. As much as Shakespeare's characters of our past still speak to us today, so do the characters of the future.

Lines (or riffs of lines) from Shakespeare's plays and poems form the inspiration for the titles of episodes from every incarnation of Star Trek. A sampling of some favorites:

• The Original Series: "Dagger of the Mind" (Macbeth) and "By Any Other Name" (Romeo and Juliet)
• The Animated Series: "How Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth" (King Lear)
• The Next Generation: "Thine Own Self" (Hamlet)
• Deep Space Nine: "The Dogs of War" (Julius Caesar) and "Past Prologue" (The Tempest)
• Voyager: "Mortal Coil" (Hamlet)
• Enterprise: "Sleeping Dogs" (Henry IV, Part 2) and "Breaking the Ice" (Taming of the Shrew) 
• Discovery: "Vaulting Ambition" (Macbeth) and "What's Past is Prologue" (Tempest)

Shakespeare has provided far more than episode title inspiration, however. Entire or substantive plot elements from Shakespeare – including direct use of scenes from his plays – are elements of Star Trek episodes and films. "The Conscience of the King" premiered December 8, 1966, and the first-season TOS episode – the title of which was inspired by Hamlet – featured scenes from Hamlet and Macbeth. And its themes of revenge and tragedy are at place both amongst the worlds of Hamlet and Macbeth as much as Karidian and Lenore.

The use of Shakespeare also provides a familiar connection between the audience and characters of Star Trek. Most especially, this is the situation with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Data. From the first episode of TNG, "Encounter at Farpoint," viewers learn of Picard's affinity for Shakespeare when he quotes Henry VI, Part 2. Indeed, Q must bring out the Bard in Picard because in his very next appearance "Hide and Q", Picard is frustrated both by Q's misappropriation of the line "All the world's a stage" from As You Like It ("All the galaxy's a stage," intones Q) and by the triviality Q appears to associate with humanity. Picard tells Q, "Oh, I know Hamlet. And what he might say with irony, I say with conviction: What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!" It seems entirely appropriate that Picard should choose Shakespeare to defend the human condition, warts and all.

Shakespeare is also used to show the friendship and mentoring relationship between Picard and Data. In "The Measure of a Man," we learn that Picard gave Data a book of Shakespeare, which contains the Hamlet quote "He was a man. Take him for all in all." "The Defector" begins with Picard providing advice about Data's performance in the play Henry V and whose themes of leadership amidst the possibilities and realities of war run throughout the entire episode. As a fun aside, Patrick Stewart not only plays Picard during this holodeck sequence, he is also playing the role of Shakespeare's Michael Williams. Academy Award winner Doug Drexler was the makeup artist for Stewart in this scene, his first in a legion of important contributions Drexler would make to Trek for decades to follow. Again, Picard uses Shakespeare to teach something about the human condition, and the Bard's words create an emotional bond between Picard and Data.

Of course, Picard is not above using Shakespeare for fun, either. His verbal rescue of Lwaxana Troi in "Ménage a Troi" involves his liberal utterances of Shakespeare's sonnets and even some Othello.

We also sometimes learn about guest characters via Shakespeare. Writer and director Nicholas Meyer understood the connection between Star Trek and Horatio Hornblower instinctively, and he brought to his three films even more literary connections, from Sherlock Holmes to Charles Dickens. The character of Chang from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, however, easily wins as the most Shakespeare-inspired guest character. Indeed, much of his dialogue is inspired by Shakespeare. A sampling: "Ah, the game's afoot, eh?" hails from Henry V, "I am as constant as the Northern Star" is from Julius Caesar, and "To be or not to be" from Hamlet serves as theme throughout the film – appropriate, because even the title derives from Hamlet. It is this film that will serve to forever connect the Klingons with Shakespeare, something that resulted in the publication of The Klingon Hamlet.

The cover here shows the amazing reach of both Shakespeare and Star Trek. It is for the German-language edition of an English play translated into Klingon!

It is through Shakespeare that we get to know Chang's ideologies and beliefs – the quotes he chooses tells us about who he is and what he wants. The film's usage of Shakespeare also teaches us something about McCoy (who becomes annoyed at the constant quotations) and Spock (who feels the need to cite as any scientist would the origins of the lines).

Meyer's Star Trek VI writing partner, the late Denny Martin Flinn, wrote a fascinating sequel novel published in 1995 called The Fearful Summons (which features some scenes originally scripted but not filmed for The Undiscovered Country). This title is also inspired by the line "Upon a fearful summons, I have heard" from Hamlet.

If you watch carefully during the scene scripted by Meyer for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home in the pawn/antique shop, there is a picture of the Bard watching Kirk and Spock from above the stairs.

It is an appropriate symbol because, from the start, Shakespeare's words and inspirations have been a source of inspiration for the writers, actors and Trek fans, a tradition continued by Discovery and which is likely to endure with whatever crews and adventures are in our collective future. After all, as Shakespeare writes in Macbeth, "If you can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me."

NOTE: The article above, of course, doesn't mention every reference, dialogue line or Star Trek title inspired by Shakespeare. Indeed, many of the common phrases that people speak today in everyday conversation, including "as good luck would have it" and "forever and a day," originated with his plays and sonnets.

GUEST BLOG: "A Private Little War" at 50

The second season's "A Private Little War" was the 48th broadcast episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and its story came from Don Ingalls -- writing under the pseudonym of Jud Crucis (a name that Ingalls used as a stand-in for "Jesus Crucified" when he didn't like the final product) -- and a teleplay by Gene Roddenberry. "A Private Little War" was a serious episode when it was produced in 1967 (airing in 1968) and, today, it's an oft-referenced one in any discussion about how TOS used science fiction as a cloak to comment on the then-current events. In the case of this episode, Ingalls and Roddenberry wanted to make a statement on various aspects of the Vietnam War that was raging controversially at the time.

Since today is the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of "A Private Little War," we thought we'd take a look at three things which we think made it unique, namely, the guns, the girl and the Gumato (OK, the horned creature was actually called a Mugato—which was changed from the scripted Gumato right before filming began—but why ruin a nice alliteration?).

Above: "A Private Little War" was first broadcast on February 2, 1968. The TV Guide with the episode's listing had a cover that featured Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched playing her sister Serena. Coincidentally, Montgomery was often listed in the credits using the pseudonym "Pandora Spocks" – a play on the phrase Pandora's Box – when she played that part.

The Guns

One of the major plot points in this episode concerned the imbalance of power caused by the guns – the flintlocks, specifically – manufactured by the Klingons and given to the Villagers. Interestingly, the weapons used in the episode weren't flintlocks at all.

Above: The village patrolmen, played by Roy Sickner, Paul Baxley (behind the slate), and Bob Orrison (from left to right), carry "flintlock" muskets supplied by the Klingons. In the real world, these weapons weren't flintlocks, but modified Trapdoor Springfield rifles. They were used instead of flintlocks because they allowed a type of blank to be fired.

The Gypsy Girl - Nona

Nona, a Kahn-ut-tu woman of the Hillpeople of the planet Neural, was Tyree's wife (with Tyree being played by Michael Witney, shown at the top of this page). The story and script modeled the Kahn-ut-tu's (and, to some extent, the Hillpeople and Villagers) after the Romani gypsies with regards to interests and abilities, e.g., the use of medicinal plants and herbs for healing, having strong and driven personalities, etc. In fact, the final draft script makes specific reference to Nona being gypsy-like and with intelligence. However, generally, she's an essentially static character and a foil to Tyree.

Above:  Nona was played by actress Nancy Kovack, who was a guest star in many episodic television shows of the time, including Batman, The Invaders, I Dream of Jeannie and… Bewitched. In the publicity snipe that accompanied the photo of Kovack, written by Paramount Television for the NBC Network, Nona's motivation was described as seeking to become the queen of Neural.

 

The Mugato

The Mugato was the poisonous, carnivorous ape-like creature that tried to kill Kirk... twice! Actually, two Mugato's were seen in "A Private Little War" -- mates of each other according to the shooting script -- and both were created and played by Janos Prohaska. Prohaska was a creature fixture in TOS because he also played a humanoid bird and an anthropoid ape in "The Cage," the Horta in "The Devil in the Dark" and Yarnek in "The Savage Curtain."

Above: Janos Prohaska shown in his studio working on one of his creations, perhaps the Mugato (left, courtesy of TV Guide) and being slated for his performance as the Mugato in "A Private Little War" (right). Incidentally, the Mugato costume was reportedly a modification of Prohaska's white gorilla suit – "Snowpuff" – that appeared on other television shows, including The Lucy Show and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

And with that, it's a wrap. We hope you've enjoyed our grand gander at the guns, girl and Gumato (and our addled attempt at alliteration).

Until next time.
