The Camera Itself Becomes a Character

Positively Trek 307: The Camera Itself Becomes a Character

“What Is Starfleet?” - Strange New Worlds 3x07

Is a Federation just an empire by another name? Is a Starship actually just a Warship cloaked in colloquialism? Newly-declassified archival footage has recently been unearthed: a documentary filmed in the mid-23rd century that aims to answer the question: “What is Starfleet?”

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss episode 7 of season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: “What Is Starfleet?” We talk about historical analogues to Starfleet, a unique way of telling a story, the Enterprise’s unorthodox mission, what Starfleet means to the crew of the Enterprise, and what happens when a documentarian becomes the focus of his own documentary.
