In Star Trek Discovery Season 3 Episode 3, Michael Burnham is reunited with the crew of the USS Discovery. Saru takes his place as the official captain, and they jump to Earth to see what has become of the Federation in this new century. But they don't receive the warm welcome they were hoping for. Time for some good old Starfleet diplomacy. And what's the deal with the mysterious Adira, a United Earth Defence Force inspector who is trying to sabotage the ship?   At the beginning of this episode, I acknowledge the passing of the great Sir Thomas Sean Connery, or Sean Connery as he was known to us.  ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a Nerd.   This is episode 40 of the podcast. Today, we’re talking about Star Trek Discovery season 3 episode 3. People of Earth.   But first, I want to acknowledge the passing of Sir Thomas Sean Connery, or as we more commonly know him, Sean Connery. I learned just last night that he had died at the age of 90. He brought a lot of joy into my life through his acting work, and I’ll always remember him as James Bond, Henry Jones Snr, and King Arthur from First Knight.   He remained married to his second wife, Michelin Roquebrune right up until the end, 45 years in total, which is an achievement worthy of respect among famous actors. He is also survived by his son Jason Connery.   But, you know, Sean Connery has a Star Trek connection. While he never appeared in Star Trek, he was originally cast as Sybok, Spock’s brother, in Star Trek V The Final Frontier. But he was unable to do it because he was busy with Indianna Jones and The Last Crusade, which honestly, was a much better movie in my opinion. But the mythical planet Sha-Ka Ree was named in Connery’s honour. Which I think is really nice.   So, I’d like to express my condolences to all of his loved ones, especially his wife and son.   So, back to Star Trek Discovery.   The description on Memory Alpha reads “Reunited with Burnham, Discovery heads to Earth to find out what has happened to the Federation in the last thousand years.”   This episode was written by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt It was Directed by Jonathan Frakes And it first aired on the 29th of October 2020.   Make it so   The episode opens with a quick recap of what Michael has been up to during the last year, while she’s been searching for Discovery, indirectly waiting for them to show up. It’s a shame we didn’t really get to see any of her adventures with Book, but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of tie-in media that will be more than happy to fill this gap. She worked as a courier, travelling from world to world making deliveries for a tiny handful of Dilithium.   But the interesting thing is, it does this in the form of a log entry, aimed at Discovery. The voiceover makes it clear that even before the burn, Dilithium was becoming rare. And we get to see a glimpse of some 321st century Starfleet ships. They don’t look all that different to those we’ve seen from other centuries. We don’t see any of them up close, but the basic shape is present in both of them. Saucer section, secondary hull, warp nacelles.   Burnham didn’t give up everything for this version of the future and she’s determined to set things back to how they should be. She’s also searching for answers on what caused the burn.   And we see her hair change over time, visually confirming the passage of time. She seems to have built a very meaningful relationship with Book, although it seems it’s not romantic as such. And while I think they’d make a great couple, I’m cool with that. I like their friendship the way it is portrayed in this episode. Although It does feel like there’s some romantic tension between them.   But what would a log entry be without a stardate? In the first two seasons, they just kinda made up random stardates. None of it made any sense because to be true pre-TOS stardates, they’d have to be 3-digit numbers.   The stardate Michael quotes in this episode is 865211.3. This is a six digit stardate. Those in the 24th century, starting with TNG, were 5 digits. Now, I haven’t done the maths, but I imagine this stardate is correct, that they’ve calculated from the TNG system onwards the right number of years. I mean, it looks about right. So that’s pretty cool.   And then we cut to Michael’s arrival on Discovery in the transporter room. And we get a very emotional reunion between her and all of her family. It was wonderful to see. Once again, Sonequa Martin Green’s facial acting really gets across so much emotion. Anyway, I loved this. It was very well done, and it certainly made me feel. And there’s this look between Burhnham and Georgiou, who stands at the back of the room, unlike the others who crowd around Burnham for hugs. That’s not Georgiou’s style. Especially not the mirror Georgiou. But there’s a little moment there between them. Hard as it might be to believe, coming from the former Terran emperor, Georgiou genuinely feels something for Michael. She’s the closest thing she’ll ever get to her daughter, and this one is unlikely to betray her the way the mirror Burnham did.   Burnham and Saru have a nice scene, catching up as they walk through the ship. Burnham has promised Book some Dilithium for helping to rescue the Discovery. Saru is more than happy to honour the promise.   Nobody knows whether the burn was a natural disaster, or a deliberate attack. And that’s kind of worrying. Neither option is especially appealing. Either way, millions died.   During her year, Burnham received a transmission from an Admiral Senna Tal. He is waiting on Earth for anyone who still believes to join him. Burnham was never able to follow up on this lead because with Dilithium so rare, Earth was always out of reach. Now that she has access to a Spore drive, she can go there. Nobody on Discovery is gonna argue with that. They all want to find out what has become of the Federation.   Michel suggests they jump outside of Earth’s scanning range and pose a starship from this century that was stranded by the burn.   Again, It’s not clear to me why they can’t just be honest with Starfleet about being from the past. Why the deception? It seems unnecessary, especially if they want to earn the trust of present-day Starfleet.   But Georgiou approves of this plan. And I can understand why she would like it. Don’t give away more than you need to. That’s consistent with who she is.   Stamets is waiting for the order to prep for the jump, but he’s unsure whose orders he should be following, Saru’s or Michael’s. And Saru says “Oh yes, we are due for a conversation.” He wants to discuss with her who is going to be the next captain of the Discovery.   This is a weird hold-over from last season. Saru told Pike to not worry about who will be captain. They’d work that out later. But it seemed silly to me that there would even be a question. Saru was first officer. He’s next in line. Obviously he will be serving as Discovery’s captain. It’s not only logical, it’s well-earned. WE saw that last week. Saru has grown a lot in the last two seasons. He’s gone from the timid first officer questioning his every decision, and asking the computer for leadership advice, to the man that took charge last week.   Michael agrees. There’s no need for that conversation, Saru. It’s you. She agrees that chain of command discates it, and that Saru has proven himself. It seems she and I are on exactly the same page. Saru is captain in the truest sense of the word.   But for Michael, there’s more to it. She’s changed over the last year. She’s had to. She’ll say later in the episode that she had to leave some things behind in order to survive in this new hostile world. I  suspect she’s talking about more than just Starfleet protocol and military discipline. I think she’s had to compromise on some principles. Probably not any big ones, but some smaller ones. It’ll be interesting to learn more about this over time, as I’m sure we will. Anyway, it was a nice scene. I’m very happy with how that turned out.   Saru says this ship bears the name Discovery, and never has that been a more fitting or more prescient name. I agree with him, and I’m excited by the possibility that the ship will truly get to live up to her name this season. We certainly got some of that last season, but I think we’ll get even more this time.   And all of that was just the teaser. But we’ve come to expect long teasers in modern Star Trek. DS9 often did the same thing.   Discovery is undergoing repairs. We see a bunch of those repair droids from the opening credits. They’ve got a little memorial for those who died in the crash  (and probably also in the battle with Control). The insignia badges are all on display, in memory of those who wore them. I find it particularly confronting that some of those badges are cadet badges. Just kids.   Things have been so hectic, nobody has had time to grieve, and not just those who have died, but those they left behind.   I like that even though there was that big communal hugging scene earlier, that Miochael gets individual catch-up scenes with those that are closest to her, that being Tilly and Saru.   Tilly is coming to terms that her Mum is gone. Dead. For centuries. She never had a very good relationship with her, but … it was her mum. I often wonder how Tilly’s Mum reacted when she got that message from Tilly, saying she was going to the future.  I wonder how it made her feel. I wonder if she realised her shortcomings as a mother in that moment, the way she had failed Tilly. I wonder how that affected her, and if she ever truly recovered from the grief of that realisation, and knowing that she’d never have a chance to make it right? Or did she remain stone-hearted, and just accuse Tilly of being needy and selfish. We’ll probably never know. Tilly is hoping that there’ll be something on Earth that they recognise, after all this time. I love Michael’s line back to her that cake is eternal. That would make a good tshirt, but perhaps a little too obscure for many people to get.   Tilly points out that Michael seems lighter. And she’s not wrong. And I’m surprised to find myself saying that I’m liking this lighter Burnham. I don’t mean lighter in the Marvel sense of the word, that she’s all jokes now. No, it seems like a great weight has been lifted from Michael’s shoulders. And I like that. She’s had to let go of a lot of baggage in this new world. It’s been like a fresh start for her.The ultimate sea change. You know, I was invited by a friend to appear on his podcast recently. The Christian Geek Central podcast. We talked about the current state of Star Trek. And in that discussion, my friend, Paeter, said he wished that Michael’s return to grace hadn’t happened so abruptly at the end of season 1. Can you imagine how much more powerful this moment would be for the character if she hadn’t been forgiven her crime of mutiny and given back her commission? If she had remained a technical prisoner, serving her time on Discovery, rather than in jail, for the whole of season 2, but now found herself in a whole new world, where she could truly have a fresh start? A second chance. That could have been amazing. But it’s still really cool. Michael was a pretty up-tight person during those first two seasons. Now, she’s something different. And that’s some interesting character development. And it wouldn’t be as cool if we hadn’t had the uptight Burnham beforehand.   For some reason, Georgiu is the one who beams Book aboard. Oh, I get why she’s doing it, she wants to check him out, see who this guy that her daughter has been galavanting around with is, buit, surely somebody else was meant to be on duty in the transporter room. Book was expecting Detmer or Tilly. Which is weird because neither of them work in the transporter room.   Anyway, Discovery has a huge supply of Dilithium, by today’s standards. They cut off a little piece for Book. This is gonna make them a target. They can’t let it become too well known that they’re so stocked.   Michael wants Book to come to Earth with her.  IT could be a fresh start for him. And he’s interested, at least for a temporary expedition. He asks Michael what she gets out of it and she goes all awkward and coy. She can’t just say “You’re my friend and I’d miss you if we weren’t together.” I kinda wish she had. But instead, she says he can help them mask the dilithium. Which is quite true. His ship has a cloaking device.   Book has never been to earth, but in a sense, neither has Michael. Not this earth.   We should talk about Book’s ship. I like the interior. That’s really cool. But the exterior, well, that’s a bit weird. There are elements that I like about it, but the asymmetry of it really bothers me. I guess I just like things to be symmetrical. It’s a very odd shape.   Saru is now wearing his captain’s uniform. And it looks good on him. He was shocked that Michael never considered trying to take the captaincy herself. Which as I’ve explained is weird to me. I don’t see why anyone would think she had a claim to it. Yes, she and Saru both held the rank of Commander, but he was higher in the chain of command. Anyway, dead horse. Sorry. The point of this scene is that Michael has changed. Saru can see it, and Michael doesn’t deny it. I’m the same person. And I’m not. She had to adapt to this world. She did what she had to, to l;earn as much as she could.  Saru finds it hard to trust Book. He doesn’t know Book like Miachel does. But for Michael’s sake, he accepts the idea, with some logical security conditions.   Booker joins them on the bridge and they jump into the sol system, just past saturn.   As Discovery approaches Earth, a giant forcefield envelops the entire planet. This makes sense. First of all, because we are in the far future, and such a technology should reasonably exist. But secondly, because this is a harsher more dangerous time. The people of earth want to protect it. They probably still have a relative paradise down there. We’ll soon see that this is effectively the case.   Two ships arrive. United Earth Defense Force. Apparently, ships are not welcome in the vicinity of Earth. Not any ships. Not even one bearing a Starfleet registry.   We meet  Ndoye, a captain of the UE Defense Force.   Ndoye can find no mention of the discovery in her records, because of the classified nature of the ship. Saru tried to sell her on the story that they are a long-range ship returning from a very long classified scientific mission. They are the descendants of the original crew. Personally, I think that would be harder to swallow than time travel. But anyway.   NDoye can pinpoint Discovery to only the range of 23rd to 25th century, based on the metals used in the hull.   Ndoye’s security force beam aboard immediately. A bunch of people on all decks. Again, believable. Book has to pose as a Starfleet office so as to not attract attention. He hates wearing it, but Michael gets a kick out of it   Book compares wearing the uniform to a time he saveD Michael from a bog filled with leeches., This conversation is very reminiscent of one between Anakin and Obi-Wan in Star Wars Episode 2. But it gives the sense of a long history of shared adventures between these two. The scenes actually serve the exact same purpose in both stories.   This is yet another example of the Star-Warsey feel to this new setting. It should feel out of place. It maybe should even bother me. But you know, despite the star-wars esque dystopian setting, this season feels very very Star Trek. And that’s because of Discovery itself.   Imagine the Enterprise got pulled into the Star Wars universe, and continued to carry on it’s mission there. Imagine there was a show about that. The show would have a Star Wars setting, but it would still very much be a Star Trek show. That’s kinda how this feels. The crew of Discovery make this feel like Star Trek, even though the setting doesn’t.   Gergiou also needs to wear a uniform, and she picks an Admiral’s uniform. This is typical of her character and mildly amusing. But it is good to see a Discovery Admiral’s uniform again. I always liked their admiral uniform.   Georgiou makes some interesting observations, that Michael isn’t sure she fits in here anymore. She’s gotten used to not having to follow orders and be in a chain of command.   Earth has been re-built to be self-sufficient. So it’s still very much the Star Trek earth down there. Beautiful gardens. A world without poverty. But it’s under constant threat. People want what they have. They want their dilithium. And it’s made the people of earth paranoid and suspicious. Understandably so perhaps.   Right now, their greatest threat is a group of dilithium raiders led by a bloke named Wen. Ndoye tells them they won’t find what they’re looking for on Earth. Starfleet and the Federation haven’t been on Earth for a long time. Having Federation headquarters on earth would make it a target. Earth is no longer part of the federation. And that’s huge.   She says that Admiral Tal left earth years ago but died on his ship. That kinda sucks.   Adira gives the impression that she is in charge of those inspecting the  spore lab, and that she is really hard and grumpy. She’s only 16 years old. Not much older than my daughter. We’ll find there more to her than is apparent a little later.   But Wen’s raiders have arrived.  And something is interfering with the personal transporters used by the Earth Defense people. Ndoye claims this is sabotage by the Discovery Crew, something Saru immediately denies. So this is awkward. Seems they’re all stuck with each other.   Book’s disappointment when he realises that the Discovery only has synthehol is amusing. But this is actually a canon violation. Synthehol was a 24th century invention. Scotty, in his retirement years, had never heard of it until he found himself in the future on board the Enterprise D. Discovery should not have synthohol and Michael should have no idea what it is.   Stammets and Tilly quickly realise that the sabotage was Adira’s doing. She has trapped her people on the Discovery, but it seems she was working alone. The show seems to be setting her up as a villain. Perhaps working with Wen.   Michael has a plan. She and Book leave Discovery in Book’s ship without asking Saru’s permission.   Book observes that these raiders are not in good shape. We get more talk of past adventures, and more and more, I’m wanting to experience some of those stories. Michael appears to be offering to give her dilithium.   Saru is determined to protect Book’s ship. Ndoye won’t allow the dilithium to fall into Wen’s hands. So he says Discovery will take the hit. This is a very risky move. These are 32nd century weapons being fired. By all logic, they could slice through a 23rd century ship like it wasn’t even there. Detmer is very hesitant, to the point of almost being insubordinate. But she eventually obeys. I’m sure this is tied into her weird head condition last week. A lot of people are speculating that Detmer has PTSD, rather than a physical ailment. And the evidence seems to be pointing toward this. This is interesting, because I feel like we were cheating out of the promised exploration of PTSD with Tyler when he turned out to be Voq.   Anyway, I’m kinda with Detmer on this. Taking the hit from these advanced weapons is a terrible idea. In reality. Discovery should have been destroyed. But then there’d be no show anymore. Their shields are completely depleted by the shot, but the ship itself is undamaged. Yeah right. As if. But, they can’t take another hit.   The plan is simple. Get the enemy to lower their shields to accept the dilithium, and then beam their captain aboard as prisoner. It works easier than it probably should have, but that’s ok.   And this is where we get really Star Trek. Saru and Micahel want to get Ndoye and Wen to talk to each other.    This is where we start to understand how Earth’s isolation has affected others in the galaxy. Wen says that Earth hordes all the dilithium while the rest suffer. They don’t even use their supply because they don’t leave their planet.   Gerogiou is getting bored with the slowness of diplomacy, so she pulls off what is apparently a mask and we see that Wen is human. Not only that, he was played by Christohper Heyerdahl. He played Todd the wraith on Stargate Atlantis, not to mention two separate roles in Sanctuary. He’s the type of actor that regularly plays multiple roles, both in and out of prosthetics. Anyway, it’s cool to see him.   Ndoye is shocked to learn Wen is human. This is classic Star Trek. Look past the monster to see the humanity beneath. Talk to your enemies .   Wen and his people are not typical raiders. Their home on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn are barely livable. They’re just a group of desperate people trying to survive. Titan is no longer self sufficient. It was an accident that destroyed much of their colony. The first ship they sent for help to Earth, their home planet was shot and destroyed. Wen’s people realised then, they were alone. Earth has had to protect themselves, but they’re become so paranoid that they’ve lost all their compassion for others. They’ve forgotten what it means to be human, in the Star Trek sense of the word. The negotiations are not difficult, once they start listening to each other, but it took Saru and Michael to make it happen. These people aren’t used to solving problems with diplomacy.   Stamets finds Adira messing about in the jefferies tubes. He puts together that she is curious about their technology but may not be a significant threat. He tells the truth about everything. The spore dive. Even them being from the past.  Adira became an inspector in the hopes of someday finding a Federation starship. The sabotage was to have more time to spend on Discovery. She wants to join the crew. It seems Adira is one of those true believers Book talked about, and she claims to know Admiral Senna Tal.   The crew of Discovery have now been granted permission to visit Earth. Ndoye gives Adira permission to leave Earth and join the crew of Discovery.   Adira says he is Admiral Tal. At first, I thought this just meant that Admiral Tal was a fabrtication by a tennager who dreamed of starfleet. But no, it’s way more than that. It turns out that although human, Adira is host to a Trill Symbiont. Burnham didn’t know about them until she met some working at the exchanges.. They were known in the 23rd century. Emony Dax travelled to Earth to judge a gymnastic contest, where she met a young Leonard McCoy. But they were possibly not a well known or understood species to their Federation at the time.   So how does all work? Can a human be host to a Trill Symbiont? Well, there is precedent for that. When we first met them,, in The Next Generation, Riker once served as host to a symbiont. Very little had been established about the species at that time. But Adira is having trouble accessing Tal’s memories, being human. I like this. It shows it is possible but problematic. Of course, Riker didn’t seem to have any problems with his symbiont, but there was a lot that wasn't properly established in that episode. In fact, a lot about the trill changed when they were brought back for Deep Space Nine, including their appearance. This was all because Terry Farrel was an attractive Woman, and they didn’t want to cover her face with prosthetic and lose her beauty. So they said, we’ll, let’s just give them spots, then. This should bother the heck out of me. The reason it kinda doesn’t is that I never saw that TNG episode until years later. I actually thought that Emissary was the first appearance of Trill for a long time. So from my perspective, DS9 was correct and that TNG episode was wrong, best forgotten.   Saru mentions that Trill hosts can access the memories of their former hosts. What he doesn’t mention is that the symbiont also has a personality of its own, and that personality blends with the host, as well as the memories of former hosts, to create a new individual. I can understand them simplifying things for the sake of this conversation. I just hope the writers fully appreciate how this species works.   While Saru and Michael are talking, Saru is taking out Captain Georgiou’s old telescope. They don’t mention it at all. It’s just there., Kinda weird. I mean, it was a nice callback, but it seems a bit of a pointless inclusion.   Michael admits she should have told Saru her plan. She’s been out of Starfleet for a year. She’s not used to working in a team like this. Michael let go of a lot of things during this year, and it’s gonna take her time to pick them back up again. If she can. But Saru trusts her to grow through this change.   Michael accepts the post as first officer of the Discovery. Notice that Saru is kind of our very first alien captain. I know there have been alien captains in Star Trek before, but not regular characters, not on the title ship of the show. So that’s significant. Michael has an emotional goodbye with Book. IT seems he’s not staying indefinitely. He’s going back on his ship to live out his normal life. But I’m sure this is not the last  we’ve seen of him.   We end with a heartwarming scene of several crewmembers down on Earth. They find a tree at Starfleet academy. A tree that still exists from their century. It’s gotta be over a thousand years old. This is the recognisable thing that Tilly was hoping for. It’s a nice little moment.   Our final shot is a nice pull back over San Francisco, as the Star Trek fanfare plays. This season definitely feels the most Star Trek of anything we’ve been given in the Kurtzman era of Star Trek so far. That’s not a knock against Discovery seasons 1 and 2, or Picard. I liked all of them. But this feels more Star Treky. Personally, I don’t mind the way they mixed things up previously. I can appreciate both. But I think a lot of people will be saying “Finally, this is proper Star Trek.” Anyway, I continue to enjoy what is feeling like a strong season.   Next week’s episode is called Forget Me Not. Discovery will continue their search for Starfleet headquarters by trying to access Tal’s memories. (and yes, I’m assuming Tal is the name of the symbiont, which would make the current host Adira Tal.)   The good thing about being in the far future is that we get to have some references to 24th century Trek. And I’m very pleased to notice that a lot of it is DS9 stuff. That’s good, because I’ve been wanting some more love to be given to DS9. All I need now is the appearance of a beloved character like we’ve had from TOS, TNG, and Voyager. I actually think there’s a good chance this will happen next week, in a roundabout way, but I’ll save that for the next episode.   Have a great week. Live long and prosper. Make it so.  

Aquaman is the 6th movie in the DC Extended Universe. In today's edition of the Nerd Heaven Podcast, I delve into this story, discussing what worked for me, and what didn't. Ultimately, while I had been hoping for something more along the lines of Man of Steel, I found there was a lot to enjoy in this underwater tale. And bonus points because they filmed it here in Australia. ----more---- Transcript Before we launch into today's episode, I just want to acknowledge the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the actor who played Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I've just read that he passed away due to colon cancer at the age of 43. That's just one year older than me. My condolences go out to his wife and his other loved ones. It's really sad to hear of anyone who has died, but someone who is public like this who is loved for his art...yeah I just wanted to acknowledge that.   Welcome to Nerd Heaven. I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars. And I am a Nerd.   Today, we’re talking about Aquaman.   DC Fandome happened two weeks ago. It was pretty exciting. We Got a teaser for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which was awesome. It gave the promise of a much deeper weightier version of the film. I’m very excited for it. We learned it will be shown in 4 parts, each episode 1 hour. And then later be edited into a 4-hour movie.   We got reveals of all the characters in The Suicide Squad. We learned the Flash movie is very much focussed on the concept of multiverses.   And we got a trailer for The Batman. And I have to admit, it looks really good. I’m still mourning the loss of Batfleck, and I’m not sure why we need another Batman trilogy not connected with the established continuity.   But the movie has a lot of promise from what I’ve seen. I don’t doubt Robert Pattison. I’ve always kept an open mind about him. But speaking of Affleck, there’s a lot of chatter online about him returning to play Batman in The flash movie, although nothing was said about this at Fandome. So … I’m still not 100% sure whether to believe it or not.   Part of me thinks it’ll be one last hurrah to farewell his character, and that they may use the whole flashpoint thing to replace him with Pattison. But who knows. Anyway, it’s an interesting time to be a DC fan.   So let’s dig into Aquaman.   The description on IMDB reads Arthur Curry, the human-born heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, goes on a quest to prevent a war between the worlds of ocean and land.   The screenplay was written by David Leslie, Johnson-McGoldrick and Will Beall Based on a story by Geoff Johns James Wan and Will Beall And this movie first released on the 26th of November 2018.   I love the way they  use the underwater effect over the studio logos at the start. Very effective   We launch straight into the meeting of Arthur’s parents in 1985. Wow, so that means I’m quite a bit older than Aquaman, and by extension, probably Jason Momoa. ISn’t that weird. I mean, Jason is a “real man” so I tend to assume he’s older than me.   I love the way Nicole Kidman plays the confusion of her character, Atlanna, in a world that is so alien to her. Going to the surface would kinda be like going into space for us. It makes some sense that she’d eat the goldfish. She doesn’t know when she’ll get her next meal in this world, although I think it’s mostly played for comedy.   And yet, she speaks and understands perfect english. The ability for characters to communicate is always a challenge for writers of sci-fi and fantasy, so I can understand why it is often just ignored, like in the stargate TV shows,  But I wish they’d had her speak a completely different language upon first meeting. All it would have taken was a quick montage or him teaching her a few words, and then have her use a slightly broken english after that.   As it is, they cut from first meeting to pregnancy. IT would have been a really easy fix. I like how they point out the significance of the fact that atlanteans and humans are biologically compatible, able to reproduce. That IS a big deal.   She sees this as symbolic of Artuhr’s ability to unite two worlds. And then the guards show up, wanting to bring her back to the arranged marriage she fled. I love their laser weapons, and I REALLY love their water-filled EVA suits. But we notice straight away that she can breathe oxygen? This will be addressed later.   Atlanna returning home in order to protect Artuhur, is somewhat reminiscent of Jor-el and Lara sending Kal-el away to protect him. It’s a touching scene. But i’m not sure it fully captures the unbelievable, indescribable pain, of saying goodbye to your husband and son for the last time.   The transition from her going home to the aquarium is cool. And the scene where the fish come to little Arthur's rescue is awesome. And then they all just crowd around him with reverence. Great stuff. This has to be a purely instinctual reaction on their part since fish are not sapient. So we see a submarine get hijacked. I kinda like the line “I won’t tell you how to captain if you don't tell me how to pirate”   There’s some interesting father and son stuff with Black Manta and his Dad. Apparently, his grandfather was a frogman in WW2 but after the war, his country forgot him. We’re not really told specifically what this means, but clearly there was  some --- about how he was treated in a post-war world. I wonder, was it a racial thing? I can well imagine that black soldiers returning from the war were not given the respect they were due. In any case, it has resulted in three generations of piracy. Quite a legacy that mistreatment created. So Aquaman shows up This will be our first look at adult Arthur Curry in this movie, but from this point on, the story is set after Justice league. Already I’m appreciating this character more than I did in the second half of Justice League.  We’ve got a little of the grittiness back that his early appearance promised. And a lot less of the silliness. So Black Manta has been scouring the seas looking for Aquaman. And he’s just like “Do I know you?” What’s not clear to me is why this man has been searching for Aquaman. In a few minutes he’ll have good motivation. But to my knowledge there’s no reason for animosity between them right now, other than the fact that Aquaman just ruined his planned piracy of this submarine. Maybe that’s enough.   I like Aquaman’s response to this guy raising this son into a life of crime. “Shame on you,” he says, without a hint of irony.   I’m actually seeing a lot of the man-of-stel-eqsue emotional grittiness in this scene. It’ll get a lot chessier later in the film, but I’m loving this stuff.   Despite his crimes, we can really empathise with black manta at this moment, as he’s forced to leave his father behind to die. Aquaman has effectively killed his father. Now he has strong motivation. Good stuff. Very emotional.   Where did David Kane and his dad get the futuristic submarine that looks like a spaceship? Remember, I even found it hard to accept Batman’s troup carrier in Justice League, and that, at least, was developed with Bruce Wayne’s fortune. I love sci-fi technology, but it has to have a reason to exist.   So Arthur goes to meet his own dad, which provides quite the counterpoint to Manta’s loss.   And while I’ll certainly question the moral choices of the Kane family, I don’t doubt the love that existed between father and son. Both of these men had great relationships with their dads. Which makes them mirrors of each other, in a sense, but is also a nice change from the stereotypical broken father relationships you often see in fiction.   When Arthur’s dad says “I’ll buy you breakfast,” and then the camera immediately cuts to a massive empty beer glass being slammed onto the bar, I laughed out loud.   The thugs wanting a selfie with Arthur was mildly amusing but also a bit on the nose.   Visually, Atlantis looks amazing. Very impressive visuals. But there’s definitely a feeling of un-reality to it. They give an occasional bubble out of the mouths of the creatures to hint at this all being underwater, but it really doesn’t look like it is. Everything is too clear. I can buy that in this underwater world, sea creatures would be domesticated in the same way that land animals have been by humans, so rinding on seahorses and sharks. Okay. But the sheer size of these creatures is a big thing to ask of our disbelief. And the way the sharks are controlled. Again, the only way I find I can buy this is if there is telepathy involved. The movie doesn’t outright say this, but I have to employ this as head-canon to make it work.   I like how there is such a big world underwater, with multiple kingdoms. All collectively known as Atlantis. But for all of this to be down there undiscovered by humankind? Sure, I can buy they would be able to hide themselves from us in the great depths of the ocean, but why hide themselves? They seem to have had little to fear from humans throughout most of history. With today’s modern weapons, I guess we pose more of a threat to them. But then, they have water-lasers. The prevailing opinion seems to be to let the humans destroy themselves, but Orm sees them as a threat, a threat that should be confronted, not hidden from.   And then these ancient ruins are attacked by a submarine. They’ve been discovered. It seems Orm was right to view the humans as a threat. It makes sense that they would be found now. After Justice League, the existence of the mysterious Aqua man is public knowledge. Many will be curious and will be actively searching for the truth behind the legends.   And then Mera shows up to seek help from Arthur. The whole history between Arthur’s contact with Atlantis is a bit muddy. We know he’s met Mera before. In Justice League, he went down underwater to speak with her. So her had first met her even before that. But he’s never actually been all the way into Atlantis itself. I’d have liked this to be explained a little better. I’m not sure which movie to fault, this one, or Justice League. Mera wants Arthur to take up the mantle of rightful King of Atlantis. An idea he finds laughable. They don’t want me. They executed my mother. I’m illegitimate and half human. But a character named Vulko believes in Arthur, and has found evidence of an ancient lost trident he believes will allow Arthur to rally the people behind him. This is some pretty standard almost cliche fantasy fare here.   Arthur has no interest in being King, but if Orm attacks the above world, he’ll treat him mercilessly. Just as his mother was treated.   And then, the little twist. David, soon to be Manta, is secretly working with Orm’s faction. He hijacked the Russian sub and used it to simulate an invasion from the surface dwellers, so Orm could get the other kings on side. But Manta is very angry that Arthur intervened and killed his father. He cares nothing for helping Orm. He just wants revenge.This also explains where Manta and his dad got the super advanced spaceship sub. I’ve only ever seen this movie once, and there’s some details here that I’d forgotten.   The scene where the giant wave sweeps a battleship toward shore looks fantastic, as does the effect as Mera holds back the water so Arthur can get his dad out of the ute. (what Americans call a pick-up truck. I need to add that become statistics show most of my listeners are American) Arthur learn’s Mera’s name for the first time, so clearly, they are not all that well acquainted.   Orm has officially declared war. All over the world ships are being washed up, along with rubbish - lots of rubbish - that has made it’s way into the oceans. It wouldn’t be an Aquaman story without an environmental angle. It’s kind of part of the deal, isn’t it. My question is, how is this much rubbish ending up in the oceans? Oh, I know ocean plastic is a real issue that threatens marine life. But our rubbish here in Australia is all buried in land fill. We don’t just dump it in the sea. I guess I’m possibly not very informed on this issue. Probably should do some research. Anyway, as much as Orm is the bad guy, I kinda don’t blame him for dumping all that back to us.   Now we get a childhood flashback, and get to learn more about this character Vulko. He’s the atlantean who taught young Arthur to use his powers. By the way, have you noticed just how much the atleantean’s clothing resembles the black kryptonian suits? Very similar texture. We get more great underwater visuals. Arthur learns that he can talk underwater. This still bugs me, and will bug me all though the movie. There should at least be bubbles. When you speak, you are expelling air through your mouth. I wonder if it would have been practical to make all underwater dialog telepathic. It would make for challenging performances, and they’d have to record all the dialog separately. Yeah, probably impractical, but part of me would love to have seen it tried. Anyway, I’ve said my piece. I’ll put this issue aside now. Arthur is willing to help Mera defeat Orm and prevent the war, but after that, he’s done. He really is a reluctant hero. This mirrors his journey in Justice League. He wasn’t interested in helping Bruce, but when the war came to him, he had no choice but to help.    So arthur goes to Atlantis for the first time. When you see all the traffic lined up to get in, you realise just how vast the population of this world is. Highborns can breathe underwater and in air. Which explains how Atlanna was able to breach on the surface, but the guards who came after her couldn’t. This actually makes some sense. The whole concept of highborn, or nobility, basically represents a narrowing of the gene pool. In many stories, this narrowing is done deliberately to keep a certain genetic trait from becoming widespread. In this case, a remnant from their time before Atlantis sunk underwater. Of course, narrowing the gene pool can cause all sorts of problems as well.   We get some cool worldbuilding. We see Atlantis while it was still on the surface. How they had a technological society, more advanced than ours, in some ways, in ancient times. I love this kind of stuff. The idea of ancient advanced societies is very compelling.  In the end, it was their own pursuit of power that lead to the fall of Atlantis. And Vulko tells of the lost trident of Atlan, first ruler of Atlantis. It was imbued wit the power to command the sea. Vulko has information that will lead Arthur to it. But before he can embark on his quest, he is captured by Orm’s forces.   Orm baits Arthur into a challenge. If Orm wins, it will solidify his position. Arthur is confident he can win. But that’s typical tough-guy bravado.  It was kind of stupid on Arthur’s part. You don’t run into something like this without understanding what you’re getting yourself into. but then, that’s Arthur. He’s a flawed character. He’s impulsive. And I like that. And he’s right about one thing. If he wins, it’ll solve all their problems.   They cast both the child Arthur and teenage Arthur pretty well.   I love the flashback, when Orm finally admits to Arthur that his mother is dead, and that she had married Orm’s father. Very emotional. The look on Arthur’s face really hit me. Right in the heart. Great acting. Then he says, “Are you saying they had her executed, for having me?” Wow. What a thing to live with.   Ok. So now we come to the ring of fire. I don’t know how to tell you this, but fire kinda doesn’t burn underwater. Now, looking at it, I think it’s supposed to be magma. Ok. But water would cool it and solidify it, right? And if the water’s not cold enough to do that, well, Arthur and Orm would probably be quickly turning into seafood chowder. And, they’re not swimming. They’re walking around, as if this was the surface. Everything about this annoys me. I know it’s hard and expensive to shoot everything on wires to make it look realistic, but…..seriously? If we’re not gonna bother to do it right, why are we bothering at all?   In science fiction and fantasy, you have to suspend your disbelief on a lot of things. Men can’t really fly, or breath underwater. But you have to really think about what you want the audience to believe. A superhero movie like this asks for quite a bit of suspension on the big stuff. So don’t make us suspend our disbelief on the mundane. With stuff that is …… silly. Dare I say stupid?   When I say I want my superhero movies to be realistic, I don’t mean that every detail must be exactly true to life, because then it wouldn't be a superhero movie anymore. The most important thing tends to me the emotional realism. But stuff like this can be important as well. And the line is gonna be different for everybody, but for me, this scene crosses the line.   And here’s another thing that crosses the line. An octopus playing the drums. What? Is this a sapient octopus?   So Arthur’s mother’s trident, the one he wielded in Justice League, is destroyed. Mera has to interrupt the duel and rescue him to save his life. Arthur has now lost all credibility. He’s discouraged and a laughing stock. This has set Mera’s plan back significantly. He was supposed to have Atlanta’s trident before challenging Orm. Oops. Again, I like this because it’s Arthur’s character. And it’s all part of his arc. We get a fun action scene as the spaceship submarines chase each other through atlantis. All good spectacle.   So hiding inside the whale was clever. It seems Aquaman’s ability to communicate with sea creatures is unique to him, not common to all atlanteans.   And then, suddenly, we go from the ocean to the Sahara. How different can you get? There’s a nice quiet scene on the plane where Arthur realises how much Mera has sacrificed for him. When she rescued him, she effectively banished herself from Atlantis. Even her own father wouldn’t take her back now. But in reality, her father still cares and wants her to be rescued, not killed.   Vulko convinces Orm they should be arrested and brought home.   There’s an Indianna Jones aspect to this movie, especially this part. I really like Indianna Jones   They don’t really explain how Mera and Arthur can jump from a plane and land unharmed on the ground. It seems they have Superman-level invulnerability. The only explanation they really give for the Atlantean’s powers is that they naturally evolved underwater. But invulnerability like that? That’s a little far fetched. I just don’t think this movie gives sufficient reason for the existence of these incredible powers.   Anyway, Manta has just been armed by Orm with Atlantean water lasers. He uses the Atlantean technology to build himself a suit. And Black Manta is born.   We get some more cool mythology. One of the tribes of Atlantis settled out here when it was still an inland sea. When the water dried up, they died out. So now we have the remains of an ancient aquatic kingdom buried under a dessert. That’s really cool.   And now Mera has telekinetic powers to draw water out of Arthur’s body and make it fly through the air. Oookay.   I’ll admit I did laugh out loud when Arthur said he could have just peed on the machine. Does that make me a bad person?   The idea of a sacred object that can unite a divided people is a common trope. The sword of Kahless from Star Trek comes to mind. But…..how does that work. The trident in the wrong hands could be devastating, but in the hands of the true heir, it could unite the kingdoms above the surface and below. How? Why? How exactly will the people put aside their differences because some bloke comes along holding a trident? I don’t understand the logic.   Orm really is a bad guy. He kills the king of the fishermen in front of his daughter, and them commands her to rally her armies. She’s not exactly say no, is she?   Arthur figures out the mystery of the bottle. It’s nice to see Arthur portrayed as having a brain, as he’s been portrayed as kinda stupid in recent scenes. Manta shows up, and they have a big battle. The line when he says “Call me Black Manta” was pretty cheesy. I don’t think we needed that.   The battle in the town is pretty good, in an Indiana Jones kind of way. It’s not a deeply emotional fight, but the spectacle is entertaining.   But Manta must have some REALLY good shock absorbers in that armour of his. Arthur has a nice reflective moment. He had a choice to save Manta’s father. He chose to let him die. And now he’s made an enemy. It’s a nice relaiseation. I was thinking the same thing during the fight. So nice to see Arthur contemplate it as well. How might this all have unfolded differently if he’d not let the man die?   He still doesn’t think he’d be any good at leading. He doesn’t play well with others. But Mera sees him as a bridge between people. That’s his strength.   Vulko reveals his true allegiance in front of Orm and gets arrested for it. Logically, it would have been smarter to keep holding his tongue but I guess he just couldn’t hold it in any longer. He’s been dying to say those words to Orm for a long time. I get that.   So Arthur and Mera are heading for the trench, where horrible beasts reside. The beasts his mother was sacrificed to. But they show up early and attack the boat. They’re super creepy. I love them.   There are so many of them. This is a really scary scene. Nicely done. I just did a quick google search, and apparently flares that work underwater are a real thing. Ok. I can’t complain about that, then.   And then we find this weird air-filled cavern deep under water. This is hard for me to swallow. The title on the screen says, the hidden sea. Earth’s core. First of all, core has got to be a bit of an overstatement. The heat and pressure at the core of the earth wold be way too much for anyone or anything to survive. I mean, the depths we think of when we talk about going underground, they barely scratch the surface. Our planet is a lot bigger than I think people realise until they really stop and think about it. I doubt a dry place like this underwater is in any way scientifically plausible. I mean, it’s cool, but it’s really hard to swallow. And they don’t even try to explain it. This is the difference between a movie like this, and a movie like Man of Steel. But … they’ve got dinosaurs.   Anyway, we find that Arthur’s mother, Atlanna is still alive down here. Turns out, you can get into this place, but you can’t get out. The only way of escape is the trident. It’s guardian will only allow the true king to pass.   Arthur is afraid. I think, because he still doubts his worthiness.   I really like Atlanna’s explanation of the difference between a king and a hero. A king fights only for his nation. But Arthur fights for everyone.   Arthur didn’t come here because he thought he was mortal. He knows he is not. He’s not here for selfish ambition. He’s here to save his home and the people that he loves. The guardian creature likes this. Finally someone who may be worthy of the trident. So he gets the trident, and when he emerges from the waterfall, he’s changed clothes. No explanation is given for this.   But he’s in the traditional Aquaman suit.  I don’t know if that was really necessary. I just don’t know if the traditional costume really suits Jason Momoa’s Aquaman. But anyway.   Orm is attacking the kingdom of the brine. They haven’t accepted his authority.   The guardian creature is massive and pretty scary. But it’s not Aquaman’s noble steed. To be honest, it’s doing all the work. Arthur is just standing on it’s back looking macho.   But he does call all the dolphins to come join the battle on his side.   There’s too many casualties. They have to end the battle quickly. Oh, but first, let’s have a good long snog. I mean, I’m happy for them to have found love with each other, but it’s not really the time.   Mera’s father recognises Arthur’s authority by the fact that he carries the trident. That means the guardian has recognised him, and he commands the sea. The creatures of the trench obey his will. That actually makes sense. I’m starting to see how the trident can unit the people.   So they have a big fight, and Arthur spare’s Orm’s life. Showing mercy unlike he did with Manta’s father. This is a nice pay-off,   But then Orm learns his mother is still alive She gives a nice speech, but those words are not going to be enough to sway him. Not in a hurry. But Arthur is ready to talk, when Orm is ready. I wonder what might become of that.   But Atlanna’s place is not in the sea. It’s with her husband. What a great moment when he sees her at the end of the jetty, and they are finally reunited.   So there you have it. I’m glad I decided to cover this movie. I enjoyed it more than I remembered.   It’s not man of Steel, but it’s an entertaining movie. It’s like a Marvel movie. Well, I hope you enjoyed this trip through Aquaman. It was fun. Next time, we’ll be looking at Shazam. That’ll be cool. That leaves just one more episode before we launch into Star Trek Discovery season 3. I’ll probably do a recap of my thoughts on the first two seasons. Don’t forget you can get the first book in my Jewel of the Stars series for just 99 cents at books2read.com/jewel (and that’s the number 2), and the prequel story for free by going to adamdavidcollings.com/free   And I’ll see you next time, on Nerd Heaven.
