Of Chaotica! seems to bring all of this nostalgic yearning to the fore, cementing the thematic nostalgia of Voyager with the literal objective of returning home. Bride of Chaotica! imagines the starship literally stuck in place, its momentum drained as the crew play out a retro science-fiction fantasy. Bride of Chaotica! embraces that nostalgia for a future that no longer exists, a curious nostalgia for the way that audiences used to wish that things would be.In its own way, there is something grim and funereal lurking behind the stylised black and white imagery, a suggestion that the Star Trek franchise might be as obsolete as its critics were beginning to suggest, that its own optimistic future history might be as outdated as this world of rocket packets and ray guns. Star Trek had been a pioneer for imagining an optimistic and utopian future at a time when such hope seemed impossible. Had the franchise been reduced to a nostalgic curiosity?Kiss of the Spider-Queen." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">Kiss of the Spider-Queen.In the closing moments of Bride of Chaotica!, the characters study a screen that plays the closing credits. “The End,” it suggests. However, that text is quickly followed by a question mark. Bride of Chaotica! suggests that the Star Trek franchise might never have to confront its own possible ending so long as it is able to hide in its own past.

Bride of Chaotica! is an enjoyable mess.As its title implies, Bride of Chaotica! is a celebration of nostalgic futurism. It is a culmination of a number of themes running through the series. Most obviously, this particular brand of retrofuturism has been a recurring gag since Night at the start of the fifth season, but it fits within a broader context. From the outset, Star Trek: Voyager has been engaged with a more nostalgic sci-fi aesthetic than Star Trek: The Next Generation or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.Bride of evil." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" src=" alt="" width="468" height="273" srcset=" 468w, 150w, 300w, 768w, 791w" sizes="(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px">Bride of evil.Voyager‘s retrofuturism has taken various forms; the old school “space western” tone established by Caretaker, the retro sci-fi trappings of episodes like Innocence or Rise, the monster mayhem of episodes like Phage or Macrocosm, the Cold War paranoia of Cathexis or In the Flesh, Tom Paris’ nostalgic holoprograms in Lifesigns or Vis á Vis, the abductees from the early twentieth century in The 37’s. However, perhaps the most basic is baked into the concept of the show. Voyager is literally a series about the desire to return to a safer and more familiar time.In some ways, Bride of Chaotica! cements this nostalgia in the context of the larger Star Trek canon, embracing the anxiety that has become increasingly apparent in the years since the thirtieth anniversary. After all, the surrounding feature films all literalise the pull of the past. Star Trek: First Contact has Jean-Luc Picard literally journey back to twenty-first century Earth while revisiting his most iconic moment. Star Trek: Insurrection has the crew discover the fountain of youth. Star Trek: Nemesis confronts Picard with a younger clone of himself.Radio Chaotica!" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" src=" alt="" width="468" height="255" srcset=" 468w, 150w, 300w, 768w, 792w" sizes="(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px">Radio Chaotica!It is perhaps telling that Voyager was the moment at which the Star Trek franchise stopped pushing forward. During and after Voyager, the franchise would become increasingly backwards-looking. Star Trek: Enterprise would invite the audience to meet James T. Kirk’s childhood era, trying to recapture that old magic. JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot would focus on a young version of Kirk and Spock. Star Trek: Discovery will feature a central character who is something close to Spock’s sister. There is a conscious pull of nostalgia.Perhaps the future was better yesterday.Never too far afield.Bride of Chaotica! is

Adventurous execution.In keeping with Voyager‘s interests and tropes, Bride of Chaotica! also employs far too much technobabble for what should be a simple story. Early in the episode, the script spends far too much time accounting for that “subspace sandbar.” There are is a “trans-spectral analysis”, along with “gravimetric forces” and “particle fields.” Interestingly enough, this fetishisation of technology also carries over into the fictional science-fiction world of the Captain Photon! holonovel.“What if Satan’s Robot re-fuses?”" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">“What if Satan’s Robot re-fuses?”In the wake of a devastating battle, Paris finds the broken form of Satan’s Robot. “If we can repair his vocaliser he might be able to tell us what’s been going on,” Paris assures Tuvok as he opens the service hatch on the front of the mechanical life form. “It looks like he burned out a resister.” Tuvok is confused. Paris clarifies, “That’s a few centuries before duotronic circuitry.” When Paris removes a little lightbulb and hands it to Tuvok, there is a sense that Bride of Chaotica! somehow finds even fifties science-fiction technobabble to be cute.Still, there is a lot to like about Bride of Chaotica! Some of the episode’s best gags are actually the low-key ones, jokes that demonstrate a self-awareness that is often absent from the Berman-era shows. Most of the scenes involving Satan’s Robot are hilarious, once it is up and running. The robot very clearly moves like a person in a suit, an exaggerated and clumsy gait. When the photonic aliens appear, the robot panics. “Invaders!” Paris interrupts. “Quiet!” Satan’s Robot obeys, and drops its volume significantly. “Invaders.” It is a good gag.Smoke and mirrors." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">Smoke and mirrors.At one point, Paris is dramatically reading the telegram from Earth, as an exposition dump in the style of a thirties-era serial. “Intercepted communications between Doctor Chaotica and Arachnia. Stop. Chaotica at war with aliens from Fifth Dimension. Stop. Must strike now to disable Death Ray.” It is a very cheesy moment, indulging the conventions of these types of stories. However, Tuvok very quickly acknowledges how annoying such exposition would be. He cuts across, “Stop. Please summarise the message.”However, the very best gags in Bride of Chaotica! are the entirely self-aware ones. In the teaser, Kim objects to the sensationalist “last time on Captain

Lot going on. Mulgrew is playing Janeway playing Arachnia, and one of the joys of Bride of Chaotica! is the sense that both Mulgrew and Janeway are allowing themselves to enjoy the experience. When Chaotica invites his beloved to sit on his throne, Janeway takes a small moment to savour it. “Somehow I feel comfortable here,” she reflects with a smirk, stopping just short of winking at the camera. It is meant to be fun, and it is fun.A nice ring to it." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">A nice ring to it.At the same time, there is also the faint suggestion of a small feminist narrative playing out beneath the campy exterior. After all, the Captain Proton! holonovels are clearly a product of their time, hypermasculine power fantasies. The only female character other than Arachnia to appear in Bride of Chaotica! is that of the lead character’s secretary. Constance Goodheart has no lines. Her function is only to scream. Although Paris suggests that she normally survives these stories, she is also ruthlessly fridged early in the story.Even beyond Bride of Chaotica!, it is clear that the Captain Proton! adventures are designed to evoke a retrograde sensibility. When the Delaney Sisters play “the Twin Mistresses of Evil” in Thirty Days, they are clearly intended to evoke family-friendly bondage. They are that old cliché of Hayes Code sexuality, smouldering in none-too-subtle subtext as they tie Harry Kim up and plan to subject them to their wicked ways. This cliché is still accepted in genre fiction; Lursa and B’Etor play that kinky convention straight in Redemption, Part I and Redemption, Part II.He’s certainly throne a party." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">He’s certainly throne a party.With that in mind, there is something very cheeky in the way that Janeway intrudes into the Captain Proton! narrative and just owns it. Tom Paris might be playing the protagonist of the holonovel, but he is largely impotent at the climax of the narrative. Janeway takes command of the situation, singlehandedly lowering the “lightning shield” so that the alien forces might storm the citadel. She does this with no back-up, no support, and no real familiarity with the world in which she finds herself.Indeed, Bride of Chaotica! repeatedly confronts Janeway with the sexist trappings of classic pulpy fiction. Much like Constance Goodheart,

Fascination with the Captain Proton! holoprogram is treated as an act of pop archeology. “I’ve been studying how past generations viewed the future,” Paris offers when asked to explain the program. “Well, it didn’t work out quite as black and white as they imagined.”Chaotica reigns!" data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">Chaotica reigns!There is something endearing in this idea that Captain Proton! is an extended metaphor for the larger Star Trek franchise. There will come a time when Deep Space Nine and Voyager look as dated as any of those thirties serials. In fact, given CBS’ refusal to invest the necessary money to update Deep Space Nine and Voyager to high definition, that day might be approaching faster than most fans would like. After all, most studios looking to protect their back libraries have begun a process of upgrading.As such, Bride of Chaotica! seems optimistic about the potential of shows like Deep Space Nine and Voyager to stand the test of time. There will come a point when audiences will find Deep Space Nine and Voyager just as dated as the original Star Trek in terms of design and production aesthetic – maybe even in terms of politics. However, Bride of Chaotica! seems to suggest that these stories will always have some kind of power, and that they will always be enjoyed or celebrated in one form or another.Shades of grey." data-medium-file=" data-large-file=" loading="lazy" src=" alt="" srcset=" 400w, 150w, 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px">Shades of grey.The move towards high definition and widescreen is arguably a revolution in how television is experienced. There will come a time when standard definition television presented in the classic aspect ratio will be considered in the same way that many modern audience members think of black and white, as a quirky relic of a bygone era. Indeed, it is hard to imagine standard definition ever achieving the same level of cultural cache as black and white, becoming a valid aesthetic choice of itself once it ceases to be the default option.When that happens, will children want to watch television series in standard definition? Will people begin to brush past shows like Deep Space Nine and Voyager in the Netflix queues, turning their attention to television shows like Friends or Cheers or Maimi Vice that have been properly restored and updated? Bride of Chaotica! has a somewhat positive outlook. The
