Okay, #Trekkies! 🖖

Today for #OnlySky, I look at how the latest episode of #StrangeNewWorlds corrects for missteps from TOS's "The Cage" and its surrounding production culture.

"Among the Lotus Eaters" offers a generous look at the role of memory in identity formation, considers uses and abuses of forgetting, and reaffirms the role of "cerebral" storytelling in #StarTrek writ large.

(Some wobbly plot choices here, but come for the #Humanism and stay for Ortegas!) #SFF https://onlysky.media/mclark/memory-forgetting-and-choosing-our-better-selves-among-the-lotus-eaters/
