[S1E3] Ghosts Of Illyria

Who doesn't love a good spooky story filled with ghosts, secrets, storms, and mystery? Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 3 delivers it all with a proper sci-fi twist and a compelling two-pronged narrative.

[S1E3] Ghosts of Illyria

Of course, there was a fascinating twist that allowed the Starfleet heroes to overcome the contagion. Spock researched what happened to the Illyrians and, "armed with knowledge," he deduced that the Illyrians actually became the light ghosts who ended up saving Pike and the Vulcan from the deadly ion storm. Meanwhile, Number One's secret that she's also Illyrian, a genetically-engineered species like Khan (Ricardo Montalbán), came to light as Dr. M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) managed to synthesize an antidote to save the infected crew. But there were plenty of scary moments along the way before the Enterprise was set right in "Ghosts of Illyria."

Unable to keep them out, the Illyrian energy-ghosts bore through the door, leaving Spock with a minor cut to his neck. Before they can react, Pike suddenly feels his ears pop, indicating a change of pressure. Soon, the fragile outside window shatters from the storm, and fatal ionic radiation floods the complex. Unexpectedly, the Illyrian energy-ghosts surround the two men, creating a protective barrier from the flood of ions in the room. 041b061a72
