In a flashback, Nurse Chapel arrives at the Moon of J'Gal during the Klingon War, meets M'Benga for the first time, and suspends a patient in the transport buffer to save them.
Mary Edwards Walker is the only woman with a Medal of Honor and one of only 8 civilians with a Medal of Honor. She got her Medal of Honor because she crossed into enemy territory to take care of wounded and was captured by the enemy. She spent the rest of the civil war in a prisoner of war camp where she continued to tend to the sick and injured. She is getting her own quarter. She was a combat nurse.
One thing that I really love about Strange New Worlds is that it's willing to play "Yes, and..." even with unpopular plot points from Discovery's first two seasons. Instead of retconning away the Klingon War, they're showing the impact that it's had on classic characters like Chapel and M'Benga. I wish Picard season 3 had done something similar with the first two seasons.
It's brilliant (and haunting). The writers used this from an old Star Trek novel I can't remember that explained Dr.McCoy's problem with transporters. As a young intern during the Klingon war he'd beam down and be met with the sounds of screams from the wounded, over and over again.
@@thedavecorp Not quite. The Transporter had a malfunction and the buffer had to be purged. He basically did a triage: let one die so he can save others he is able to save.
Esse sinal sonoro é o que torna a cena mais emocionante e ao mesmo tempo transmite a dor e o sofrimento da guerra. Genial essa cena. Com certeza esse foi o melhor episódio dessa temporada
We do exactly the same thing.. Insertion.. helicopters come low..they don't stop .you jump off and they dive in and drop. Take off . I was a combat medic ..we have to triage and make decisions about who lives and dies... Wash the blood out of helicopters.... showers of blood and back out again... Retired special forces 3 wars.
Mbenga knows Alvarado isnt coming back.. He is doing it solely for Chapels peace of mind, naivete, and that small glimmer of hope. But deep inside, he knows the deletion of the log is the end result. Yet still, more humane than letting the guy suffer and bleed out. Terrifying
Nurse Chapel in the presence of a veteran Star Trek actor. Remember the early TOS episode "The Corbomite Maneuver." First Federation Balok. The only problem with this episode is the reference to Romulan Ale. How did the Federation know about the Romulans let alone Romulan Ale during the Klingon War? This is suppose to take place prior to the "Balance Of Terror". I thought this series was suppose to be canon.
I imagine they were probably introduced to Romulan Ale by black market traders that also served as one of the third party intermediaries the Romulans are so fond of using. As for how the Federation knew about the Romulans during the Klingon War, I'll direct your attention to the Earth-Romulan war 2156-2160, a full 100 years before Balance of Terror and referenced in that same episode.
Radiation poisoning and burns, stab Wounds, lacerations, multiple organ failure, and PTSTD. This goes to show no matter how technological war gets it come down to psychology and flesh and blood combat.
Load his pattern into the buffer? You know what, they could have done that with every single "incoming transport" and dealt with each casualty one at a time. Or just uploaded the buffers to some starbase medical center.
Welcome to combat Nurse Chapel. This is where you find out what kind of nurse you really are. Sometime the choices suck. But you have to make them anyway.
The shuttle insertion looked cool and permits us to get an idea of the situation, but in-universe they clearly have transporter capability. Why risk the shuttle?
Exactly this, otherwise Klingons could just beam into camp from orbit. Makes you wonder if the klingons use stealth shuttles to do insertions into enemy territory. Scary thought.
Transporters can serve as replicators if feed enought energi. And of course they can repair his body from his records or do transport patch up from basic human anatomy. Im mean sory but people in start trek died mostly on special injuries. When you were on board you were practicly safe. FAILED WRITING AGAIN.....
Guardian they were in a combat field situation nobody has enough of any of the stuff you were talking about. You cannot divert that kind of injury to repair 1 guy when you got God knows how many people that are going to be coming in. I was a combat medic and I could tell you category I had the best training you could get but even I or the doctors in that feel hospital in Iraq couldn't save everybody. That's not lazy writing that's a fact of war.
@@TheGUARDIANOFFOR so you are suggesting that for his time in the academy, picard exclusivley used shuttles and never once a transpoter? its hard to believe a transport is NOT a daily occurance... stop nit picking and enjoy the show :)
the mighty klingon battle ships cant destroy a moon!?!?!? what the hell is this garbage! Are the writers even the slightest bit capable of imagination? do they think a war in the future would look like vietnam? kirks enterprise could level a planet if he wanted to and it wasn't even a "battleship". God make this garbage stop!
Hey, DS9 established ground battles way back in the 90's with episodes like . Why would they destroy the moon? What strategic advantage would the Klingons gain from just blowing it up? And, no, Klingon ships are not the Death Star. They do not possess those abilities, and never did. Not even by the time of the Dominion War. This episodes is more akin to M.A.S.H. set during the Korean War, than the Vietnam War. Kirk's Enterprise could only glass a planet, and it was classified as a Cruiser by Starfleet, but a Battlecruiser by the Klingons. This also takes place BEFORE the events of TOS by at least a few decades or so.
@@scorpionfxe2042 remember kirk stunning city street? remember mirror mirror planning to level entire cities? of course the klingons could destroy a moon or kill everyone on it with ease. hell we have nukes that could make huge areas un inhabitable. this isnt mash and shouldnt look like mash. And please dont speak of the great DS9 in the same breath as the childish sophomoric headscratchingly cringy SNW.
