Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes back to the beginning with this ferocious alien race

Captain Pike must confront the aliens that caused one of his greatest defeats.

Season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has called back to different parts of the Star Trek Universe in different ways. Sometimes, the show does so with fun Easter eggs like Spock's Vulcan Lute or the reappearance of the Department of Temporal Investigations . Other times callbacks to the past can drive the narrative like with La'an Noonien-Singh wrestling with the history of her ancestor, Khan . This week, we go back to the very beginning of the Star Trek franchise as the show revisits a fearsome alien race.

The real problem begins five years prior to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, when Captain Pike and a landing party embarked on a routine expedition on the Class M planet Rigel VII. The local inhabitants consisting of primitive humanoids ambushed them, and during the hasty retreat of Pike and his crew, the crew may have left their equipment behind. This is an issue because it could be a breach of the Prime Directive, Starfleet's principle of not interfering with the natural development of alien civilizations.

Now, when aerial imagery of the planet detects structures resembling the Starfleet delta insignia, the Enterprise is sent back to clean up their mess and assess the level of cultural contamination they may have caused. As for Pike, he has reservations about returning to Rigel VII because of his experience with the formidable indigenous people known as the Kalar.

What happened during Captain Pike's first encounter with the Kalar?

The behind the scenes lore regarding Pike's first encounter with the Kalar is pretty interesting. The events of that encounter are first recounted in the very first pilot of Star Trek the original series (TOS) entitled 'The Cage.' After the initial viewing, the executives at NBC were not satisfied and reordered a second pilot, which would be the one to air and become the Star Trek that we know today. However, footage from 'The Cage' would be incorporated into the two-part 'The Menagerie,' which are episodes 11 and 12 from season 1 of TOS.

We actually never see what happens on Rigel VII, but hear the story from Pike as he opens up to his chief medical officer, Dr. Boyce, in the unaired pilot. On the planet, Pike led his landing party into a trap set by the Kalar. The failed mission resulted in the death of three of his crew and seven more injured, including Spock.

The traumatic event has a significant impact on the captain. He wrestles with guilt and feels responsible for the loss of his crewmen. In the episode, Pike even considers resigning from Starfleet, though the good doctor talks him out of the rash decision.

Who are the Kalar of TOS?

star trek tos -- kalar

The Kalar are a primitive humanoid species native of Rigel VII. These people are slightly larger than a human and are fierce warriors, but they are not as advanced and often fight using antiquated equipment such as swords, spears, shields, and armor. Despite their inferior technology, they are still able to catch the Starfleet members off guard and inflict great damage.

Though the story of Kalar encounter is only verbalized, we do catch a glimpse of one in 'The Cage.' In the unaired episode, Pike is manipulated by telepathic aliens called Talosians to make him fall in love with a woman named Vina. One illusion involves Pike saving Vina, under the guise of a Rigellian princess, from a Kalaran warrior.

Who are the Kalar in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

star trek snw -- luq the kalar

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds expands on the alien race first seen in TOS. The Kalar are described as a bronze age society organized in a caste system. They contain a formidable warrior class hardened by the planet's harsh conditions called the field Kalar and a secretive ruling class called the palace Kalar. According to the ancient stories, the former are unable to retail their memories (and are used as forced laborers), while the latter retain their memories and are responsible for planning the future and recording the past.

The field Kalar are organized based on their particular job set. They are able to keep their implicit memory such as walking and talking while their explicit memories including who they are and where they live go away each day. Yet they do find ways to guide themselves in their regular activities. They are a close-knit community and help each other manage the memory loss. The field Kalar use the oils of their fruit of the gods to tattoo themselves with their important personal information. In addition, they keep a totem of their people's story inside their homes.

Why are the Kalar so underdeveloped?

star trek snw -- la'an, ortegas, and m'benga dressed as kalar

Thousands of years ago, an asteroid landed on Rigel VII. It contained a form of radiation that causes synaptic degradation of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. As a result, the Kalar experience explicit memory loss while their implicit memories such as instinct and emotion are left intact. This neurological condition stunted the development as a people, hence their primitive existence in comparison to Starfleet. The palace Kalar are able to reduce their exposure due to the castle's structural materials and their natural properties that can shield the radiation.

What is the fate of the Kalar in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

The Kalar are introduced to modern technology by their leader High Lord Zacharias. This High Lord turns out to be Pike's yeoman, Zack Nguyen, long believed to be dead. Zack survived the initial ambush years ago, and gathered the Starfleet gear left behind including phaser rifles to help fuel his rise in power. With the superior arsenal, it wasn't too long until he became ruler. As a sign of reverence, the Kalar erected the structures bearing the symbol on his uniform, the Starfleet delta insignia.

Eventually, Pike and the rest of the Enterprise crew are able to overcome and negate the effects of the radiation. They also able retrieve all of their old tech to clean up their previous cultural contamination, and take Yeoman Nguyen into custody. As a parting gift for the meddling in Kalar affairs, the Enterprise removes the asteroid from the planet allowing the natives to develop unhindered by its effects; an act which some might say disobeys the Prime Directive.

Strange New Worlds Season 2 Brings Us Back To Star Trek's Very First Episode

Melissa Navia as Ortegas Star Trek Strange New Worlds

What is the first episode of "Star Trek"? Is it "The Man Trap," the first aired episode of season 1? Or is it "Where No Man Has Gone Before," the first produced (but third aired) episode starring William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk? The answer is neither. "Star Trek" has two pilots, the first of which was "The Cage." It has the same premise — explorers traveling the galaxy on the USS Enterprise — but a different cast barring Leonard Nimoy as Spock; the pilot's lead was Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike.

"The Menagerie" reintegrated the episode into the series, depicting Pike as Kirk's predecessor as captain of the Enterprise. In one of the most clever clip shows ever devised, the episode mostly consists of Kirk watching the events of "The Cage." The episode is set on planet Talos IV, where the natives abduct Pike. However, it was mentioned in passing that the Enterprise was coming off a mission on Rigel VII, one that left three crew members dead and Pike feeling disillusioned.

Pike (now played by Anson Mount) finally got his chance to headline "Star Trek" and is now the lead of "Strange New Worlds." The series' latest episode — "Among the Lotus Eaters" — takes us back to Rigel VII.

The secrets of Rigel VII

Scant detail about Rigel VII is provided in "The Cage," though Pike experiences an illusion of the planet while held captive by the Talosians. The planet (at least as Pike remembers it) looks like a medieval swashbuckling fantasy, with a purple sky and stone castle. A native of the planet called a Kalar is a roaring beast-man draped in a fur coat and helmet while wielding an axe.

The Enterprise is called back to the planet because a Starfleet insignia was spotted on a building from orbit. Clearly, there's been cultural contamination — a big no-no under Starfleet's Prime Directive of non-interference — and now Pike's crew has to clean up their mess. Once they arrive, we get a new detail about Rigel VII — it's surrounded by an asteroid field. In the distant past, a meteor from that field struck the planet, accounting for its primitive development.

When the away team — Pike, La'an (Christina Chong), and Dr. M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) — land, it's winter. The planet thus looks cold and snowed-in, rather than the rocky desert landscape from "The Cage." As the away team makes its march to civilization, they start blacking out and experiencing time lapses. This culminates with the most startling discovery of all — one of the Enterprise casualties, a yeoman named Zack (David Huynh), survived. He shared Starfleet technology and knowledge with the Kalars and became their ruler; the insignia on top of the palace was made in tribute to him. Years alone on the planet have turned Zack bitter, and he has his rescuers imprisoned. By morning, they've forgotten who they are.

The power of memory

The secret of Rigel VII is revealed: the radiation from the meteor destroys people's memories. The castle now ruled by Zack is built from materials designed to protect from that radiation; the Kalar wear hats because they're made from the same material — but not all get that privilege. Lower-class Kalars aren't afforded the protection of helmets or sanctuary in the castle. Instead, they're sentenced to labor, and their daily "forgettings" mean it's impossible for them to work up the will to resist. On Rigel VII, the bourgeoisie's power isn't capital, but memory.

The unknowing Enterprise crew is paired with a worker Kalar (Reed Birney), who has long since acquiesced to the forgettings. They work out something is wrong (none of the Enterprise crew have memory-jogging tattoos like the Kalar, nor are their hands the hands of laborers), prompting a rebellion. La'an is injured in the fight. The Kalar tells the crew about a myth that the castle contains a box holding everyone's memories — this is just a myth, but the castle's radiation shielding eventually restores Pike's memories.

On board the Enterprise, the radiation begins to affect the crew, starting with Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding). Retreating into the asteroid field — unknown to them, the source of the problem — only worsens things. Fortunately, pilot Erica Ortegas (Melissa Navia) manages to overcome the affliction and steer the ship to safety. The theme of "Among The Lotus Eaters" is how memory and identity are intertwined — do something long enough and it becomes instinctual.

The episode ends with the Enterprise crew removing the meteor from the planet's surface, using the ship's tractor beam to return it to the asteroid field. They came to Rigel VII to remove cultural contamination. By removing the original disturbance, the Enterprise crew gives the Kalars the chance to blossom as a society that remembers.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" streams on Paramount+. New episodes release every Thursday.

Editorial reviews.

Plakson has a delightfully tart way with her lines, which work well at needling the usually implacable Worf. Interestingly, K'Ehleyr is the one pushing for the couple to get down--but then bridles at the notion that, by mating for the sheer fun of it, they are bound for life. Traditionalist Worf, by contrast, can't imagine having sex without commitment--which just goes to show the difference between humans and Klingons. Plakson--as K'Ehleyr--would show up in a later episode, with the child produced by this encounter. Unfortunately, the interpersonal moments consume so much time that, when the Klingon ship finally appears, the tension in that encounter winds up feeling perfunctory. --Marshall Fine

Why Star Trek: The Next Generation Was Put On Hold For Years And Years

"Star Trek" was canceled in 1969 and then, 18 years later, the sequel series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" premiered. Reviving canceled shows is standard practice these days, when streaming services have all but replaced network TV and cable. However, the "Star Trek" renaissance was only possible thanks to a feature of that old model of TV: syndication, where a series would be sold for broadcast to multiple different channels.

In a 2007 oral history of "The Next Generation" by Entertainment Weekly, Robert H. Justman (a producer on what's now called "Star Trek: The Original Series") said that syndication reruns of "TOS" were why the suits were interested in a new "Star Trek" series. "[The reruns] just gathered up a whole slew of people who had never seen the show," Justman recalled.

That new "Trek" show ultimately became "The Next Generation." However, it was first conceived of in the late 1970s as "Star Trek: Phase II." That show would've been a more direct sequel to the original, with most of the original cast returning. It failed to get off the ground — because of "Star Wars." Trekkies and "Star Wars" fanboys have an infamous rivalry over which series is America's premier space-set series. However, this time, Paramount was taking its "Trek" cues from the Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Star Trek: Phase II, Interrupted

As D.C. Fontana (a writer on both "Star Trek" and "The Next Generation") told EW, scripts for "Star Trek: Phase II" were written; the pilot of "TNG" — "Encounter At Farpoint" — was meant to launch "Phase II." Then, she said, "Star Wars" came out in 1977 and Paramount decided they'd rather make a "Star Trek" movie instead. After all, George Lucas' new epic proved that audiences would line up to see starships and space battles convincingly portrayed onscreen. Paramount thus shelved "Phase II" and the "Original Series" cast instead reunited on the big screen for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."

It was only after "Star Trek" proved to be a viable film franchise that a new TV show was produced, which morphed from "Phase II" to "The Next Generation." The title shift reflects the premise being redone; the new series was literally a new generation of characters, with a new starship Enterprise, who followed in the originals' footsteps. "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry accepted the offer to lead "TNG" because Paramount made it clear the series was happening with or without him. However, it was only under later writers, such as Ronald D. Moore, that the series came out of the shadow of "Phase II" and found its footing — footing firm enough to hold for seven seasons total.

Moore, who has since co-created the alternate history space race series  "For All Mankind," acknowledged this "Star Trek" trivia in that series. In this timeline, "Phase II" went ahead, "The Wrath of Khan" was the first "Star Trek" movie instead of the second, and "The Next Generation" became the third and final "Star Trek" series. A world without "Deep Space Nine"? Not sure I could bear that.

[after Worf has temporarily played "Captain" of the Enterprise] 

Commander William T. Riker : How did you like command?

Lieutenant Worf : Comfortable chair.

K'Ehleyr : And you wore it well.

[in an outburst of rage, K'Ehleyr has smashed a glass table to pieces, when Troi enters her quarters] 

Counselor Deanna Troi : You're upset.

K'Ehleyr : Your finely honed Betazoid sense tell you that?

Counselor Deanna Troi : Well - that, and the table.

Lieutenant Worf : You are late.

K'Ehleyr : Sorry. Had to make myself beautiful.

Lieutenant Worf : I fail to understand why.

K'Ehleyr : Worf, we're alone now. You don't have to act like a Klingon glacier. I don't bite. Well, that's wrong. I *do* bite.

K'Ehleyr : [having dispatched Worf's exercise program]  It's not much of a program.

Lieutenant Worf : [gives her a look]  Computer... level two.

K'Ehleyr : Poor android. Whose behavior do you find more perplexing - Human... or Klingon?

Lt. Commander Data : At the moment... I would find it difficult to choose.

K'Ehleyr : So would I.

K'Ehleyr : Damn you, Worf! You'd let me go without saying another word, wouldn't you?

Lieutenant Worf : What needs to be said?

K'Ehleyr : Nothing. Everything.

Lieutenant Worf : I've noted that some people use humor as a shield. They talk much, yet say little.

K'Ehleyr : Whereas others take a simpler approach. Say nothing.

Lieutenant Worf : When one does not have the words...

K'Ehleyr : Or is loath to speak them...

[after being intimate with K'Ehleyr, Worf initiates a formal Klingon oath of marriage] 

K'Ehleyr : Wait. You can't mean...

Lieutenant Worf : We are mated.

K'Ehleyr : Yes, I know! I was there!

Counselor Deanna Troi : I find the exercise programs on the holodeck rigorous enough to take my mind off most frustrations.

K'Ehleyr : And it'll keep me from wrecking the ship.

Counselor Deanna Troi : That too.

K'Ehleyr : I hid the truth from you. Last night did have meaning. I was tempted to take the oath with you. It scared me. I've never had such strong feelings toward anyone.

Lieutenant Worf : Nor have I.

K'Ehleyr : Then it *was* more than just a point of honor. Maybe someday, when our paths cross again... I won't be so easy to get rid of.

K'Ehleyr : Whoever said getting there was half the fun never rode in a class 8 probe.

K'Ehleyr : I will *not* take the oath!

Lieutenant Worf : Then this night had no meaning! And *that* I will not believe.

K'Ehleyr : Believe what you will.

[K'Ehleyr works in the tactical room when Worf and Data enter] 

K'Ehleyr : An android chaperone?

Lt. Commander Data : Android, of course, is correct, but... I fail to see how 'chaperone' is applicable to this situation.

K'Ehleyr : Never mind.

K'Ehleyr : Sometimes, I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out.

Counselor Deanna Troi : And it frightens you?

K'Ehleyr : Of course, it does. My Klingon side can be... terrifying - even to me.

Counselor Deanna Troi : It gives you strength. It's a part of you.

K'Ehleyr : That doesn't mean I have to like it.

K'Ehleyr : Tell me one thing. You would have gone through with the oath, wouldn't you? Regardless of the consequences to our careers, to our lives.

Lieutenant Worf : Honor demanded no less.

K'Ehleyr : What do you want? Is honor all you care about? Don't you *feel* anything else?

Lieutenant Worf : There are always options!

K'Ehleyr : Oh, are there? Tell me, whatever happened to that wonderful Klingon fatalism of yours?

Lieutenant Worf : My experiences aboard this ship have taught me most problems have more than one solution!

K'Ehleyr : Starfleet hasn't improved you one bit. You're as stubborn as ever.
