Star Trek Recap - The Rating Criteria

For every episode in the Star Trek rewatch, I’ll be rating the episodes based on “Ace Friendliness” and “Aro Friendliness”.  So, what, exactly is the rating for?

During the episode, I’ll be looking for aphobic language as well as sex normative and amatanormative tropes.  Unnecessary sexualization of a character, for example, might cause a lower ace rating in an episode while assertions that romantic love is an essential part of the human experience could lead to a lower aro friendliness rating.

The scale will be from 0-10 where 10 is a very friendly episode and a 0 would be an episode I would recommend be avoided.

Every episode recap will have a summary blurb along with the ratings listed before the read more cut.  Below the cut in the Ratings section, I’ll include an explanation for my ratings on the episode.  I definitely encourage discussion over these ratings as how we perceive the ace and aro friendliness of an episode can differ greatly from person to person.

(Note that on episodes which touch heavily on LGBT+ themes, such as The Next Generation episode “The Outcast”, might have additional ratings.  “The Outcast” will likely have both trans and non-binary ratings.)

How To Research Schools, Neighborhoods And Crime Rates In Wellington

So you’ve found a potential new home. It has almost everything you want and is well within your price range. But you can’t stop there because there are other factors that are at least as, and maybe even more, important than features and price. So here’s how to research schools, neighborhoods, and crime rates in Wellington.

Schools in Wellington

Sure, everyone wants to know about crime rates in Wellington neighborhoods, but the quality of schools is of interest only to those people who have school-aged children, right? Wrong. The quality of schools in and near the neighborhood is an important purchase factor for everyone. The fact is, homes in neighborhoods with better schools usually have higher values and a greater likelihood of appreciating over time.

You certainly don’t want to rely on the seller’s opinion alone, though you should ask. But make sure to go right to the source and check out the local school district’s website. While the information there may be a bit skewed in favor of the local schools, it’s still a good starting point to see whether the schools will be a good fit for your child(ren).

Another good online resource for researching schools is GreatSchools, the “leading national nonprofit empowering parents to unlock educational opportunities for their child.” Just type in a ZIP code, and you can get reviews on schools from educators, parents, and students. The U.S. Department of Education also publishes a valuable resource, a 52-page booklet titled “Choosing a School for Your Child.” This booklet covers magnet and charter schools and has a checklist to help you evaluate your child’s needs and whether a school’s policies and procedures will be a good fit.

Of course, there’s no substitute for actually visiting the schools yourself.  Just keep in mind that curricula and academic standards aren’t always the most important considerations. Be sure to take a look at professionalism, friendliness, communication, and special-needs accommodations – all those things that make it a great experience for the students.

Neighborhoods in Wellington

Before buying a new home, you will certainly want to check out the neighborhood (which ties in closely with crime rates in Wellington. The Internet is your friend here.

Demographics matter because we all want to be around people much like ourselves. HomeFair’s City Profiles Report can help you with this. After entering a ZIP code or city and state, you can find out what the people are like in the neighborhood where your potential new home is located.

Another good online tool is NeighborhoodScout, especially for the financial end of things. With this tool you can investigate a neighborhood’s median home prices, commuting opportunities, and even crime rates in Wellington. You can also discover what makes a particular neighborhood unique and gives it a definite personality.

And you don’t even have to visit the neighborhood in person to visit the neighborhood. One of the free apps like Walc will allow you to take a virtual stroll through the neighborhood to see what it’s really like at ground level. With Walc, for example, you can take a leisurely “stroll” through the area to get a sense of place.

Crime Rates in Wellington

When it comes to crime rates in specific neighborhoods in Wellington, the best starting points are local. Contact the local police department and ask to see a police log that will allow you to see where crimes have been committed during the past year. Then take a look at the local newspaper to find out the kinds and locations of local crimes.

Then you’ll want to go online again. A good place to begin is the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports. There’s a lot of information here, so it will take a little effort, but it’s well worth it. You can find comprehensive information on the kinds of and number of crimes committed in the area. A couple of other good resources to find out about crime rates in Wellington are:

CrimeMapping.com – With this site, you can find out about recent crimes in neighborhoods all across the country, including the kinds of crimes and the timeframes within which they occurred.

NeighborhoodScout – For more general data, such as lists of the safest and the most dangerous cities in America, NeighborhoodScout is a good resource. You will, however, have to subscribe for more detailed information.

Find Out About Schools, Neighborhoods, and Crime Rates in Wellington the Easy Way

In reality, then, price and features just scratch the surface of what you need to know about that home in order to make a purchasing decision. You also need to research schools, neighborhoods, and crime rates in Wellington because they all go back to those three critical criteria: location, location, and location. But you don’t have to tackle this big task all on your own. We have the knowledge and experience and the willingness to help you with this research to ensure you make the right decision. Let us help you find just the right home in the right location. Contact us today! 561-771-4347

Star Trek: ToS Rewatch - 1x01 - The Man Trap

Members of the crew of the Enterprise are being stalked and murdered by a mysterious being capable of psychically disguising itself in order to extract salt from its victims.

Ace Friendliness: 5

Aro Friendliness: 7

Recap:

In the ruins of an ancient civilization on the planet M-113, Dr. Robert Crater and his wife, Nancy, are the only members of a five year archaeological survey of a number of ancient ruins on the planet.  Nancy Crater was once involved romantically with Doctor McCoy, who is looking forward to seeing her again.

However, upon arriving on the planet, the landing party - made up of Dr. McCoy, Captain Kirk, and a crewman in the science division named Darnell - each see a very different woman.  McCoy sees Nancy as she was when he knew her, Kirk sees Nancy as an older version of the woman McCoy sees, and Darnell makes the mistake of outright saying Nancy looks like a woman he knew on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet - presumably a sex worker - which both McCoy and Kirk take offense to.  Darnell gets sent to wait outside but 'Nancy' follows after a short while and lures Darnell away to his death.

Dr. Crater finally arrives and is upset the landing party is arrived.  He keeps insisting all they need are salt tablets and generally he just wants them to go away.  McCoy and Kirk, however, are both insistent they follow regulations - both Dr. Crater and his wife are due physicals (and probably psych evals too, considering how little social interaction they've had these last five years).  Crater eventually consents to his physical, but they're interrupted by a scream outside.

They find Nancy standing over Darnell, whose body is covered in strange circular marks, and she claims he ate a poisonous plant before she could stop him.

Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise's bridge, Commander Spock has been left in command.  With so little to do at the moment, Uhura is attempting to engage the commander in conversation and flirting but to no avail, as Spock claims that Vulcans have no sense of humor.  The transporter chief signals the bridge to alert the bridge to the death of a crewman.  Spock acknowledges and presumably signals one of the transporter bays to transport the party up, but Uhura is concerned by Spock's lack of interest in who the dead crewman might be since it could be the Captain, as the transporter chief didn't specify.

Once McCoy does an initial examination of Darnell, he determines the cause of death wasn't poisoning; in fact, aside from the circular marks on the body, McCoy can't find anything wrong with Darnell at all.  Much to Kirk's annoyance, McCoy gets lost in thought over Nancy and his unresolved feelings for her.

After a more thorough exam, McCoy is able to determine Darnell died because his body had been drained of its entire salt content.  

Taking two more crewmen with them, Kirk and McCoy return to the planet to bring Dr. Crater and Nancy aboard with them until the cause of Darnell's death can be determined.  However, Dr. Crater is less than receptive to this idea and runs off to find his wife.  he discover Sturgeon - one of the two crewman who joined the landing party - dead with the same circular marks as Darnell and calls to Nancy, telling her he has salt for her.  When she doesn't respond, he continues off to find her, leaving Sturgeon's body behind for Kirk and McCoy to find.

While separated from the Captain and McCoy, the fourth member of the landing party is lured into a trap by Nancy, who kills Crewman Green and assumes his appearance.  Nancy then joins Kirk and McCoy in the guise of Green and is transported up to the ship.

Now aboard the ship, "Green" follows Yeoman Rand as she brings lunch to Lt. Sulu in the botanical lab; there's a salt shaker on the tray of food that "Green" attempts to take at one point, but Rand stops him and tells him off for following her.  With the lift full, the corridors crowded, and both Rand and Sulu present in the lab (as well as the unusual reaction of one of the plants towards him), "Green" doesn't seem to feel safe taking it and eventually leaves.  From there, "Green" runs into Uhura and transforms again, possibly someone from Uhura's past or a person created from bits and pieces of people she once knew.  He speaks Swahili to her, much to Uhura's clear delight as she responds in the same language.  But he then seems to entrance her, perhaps some aspect of the same psychic abilities that allow him to take on so many different appearances, and it's only the timely arrival of Sulu and Rand that prevents Uhura from become the salt eater's next victim.  Unfortunately Crewman Barnhart is less lucky and is discovered dead by Sulu and Rand after Uhura heads to the bridge.

Taking the appearance of Nancy again, she goes to visit McCoy because she likes his strong memories of Nancy; those feelings make her feel safe.  She encourages him to get some sleep and when he mentions that he has sleeping pills, she gets him some water to take them with.

Sulu and Rand come across Crewman Barnhart, whom the creature attacked before “Nancy” came to visit McCoy.  Reports of Barnhart’s death lead to McCoy to be summoned.  Having drugged McCoy and, presumably, used her psychic ability to persuade him to sleep, “Nancy” assumes McCoy’s form and leaves the real McCoy asleep in his quarters.

Kirk and Spock return to the planet.  While Kirk attempts to reason with Dr. Crater, Spock discover's Crewman Green's dead body.  Aboard the ship, they begin searching for the impostor while Kirk and Spock finally stun Crater and question him about the creature attacking the crewman.

Crater finally explains the truth about his wife Nancy.  The real Nancy has been dead for nearly two years now, replaced by one of the few surviving inhabitants of the planet.  Once the planet was once a lush, plentiful world, but the ancient civilization caused some kind of catastrophe that left it barren.  The M-113 creature that took Nancy's place requires sodium chloride - salt - to survive, but the planet is so lacking in salt that the creature's species has nearly died away entirely.  Dr. Crater clearly assumes "Nancy" is the last of its kind and compares her to the buffalo, which went extinct on Earth some time ago.

Once aboard the ship, Crater claims that he and the creature have a symbiotic relationship due to their trade of salt tablets and companionship and even notes that he can recognize the being regardless of what form it takes, clearly aware that "McCoy" is actually the creature.  However, when Spock suggests they use a truth serum on Dr. Crater in order to ascertain who the creature is currently masquerading as, "McCoy" reluctantly agrees.  Spock, Crater, and "McCoy" head to sickbay, but the creature murders Crater and attacks Spock, whose Vulcan physiology seems to make him unappetizing to the creature.

The creature takes Nancy's form again and returns to McCoy's quarters, seemingly torn between it's hunger for salt and a desire to seek safe refuge, which it knows McCoy can be manipulated into providing.  Kirk arrives, however, armed with a phaser and salt tablets; he attempts to convince McCoy to stand clear.  McCoy seems to be under the creature's psychic thrall, however, and hesitates to shoot the creature in Nancy's form even as she fights with Kirk.  Spock arrives and steps into the fight, repeatedly striking "Nancy" and appealing to McCoy's sense of logic.  However, the creature fights back, knocking Spock across the room and reverting to its natural form in order to use its suckers - the cause of the circular marks on its victims - on Kirk.

McCoy finally rallies himself and shoots the creature.

Later on the bridge, as the Enterprise leaves M-113 behind, Spock asks Kirk what's weighing on his mind, to which Kirk replies, "I was thinking about the buffalo."

Analysis: 

There’s quite a few different plot threads throughout the episode to keep an eye on.  First, there’s the friendship between Kirk and McCoy and how Kirk seeks to keep McCoy grounded in the here and now, not drifting off into the past where his feelings for Nancy were strong.  Then there’s Dr. Crater, trapped in an abusive relationship and desperate to keep the secret of his wife’s death to prevent the ‘tragedy’ of the salt-eater’s extinction.  And finally there’s the creature itself, a manipulative monster who only cares about feeding its need for salt and assuring itself a protector who feels nice emotions towards it.

Basically, to me the episode feels largely like its a portrayal of an abusive relationship - one where the abuser is a woman - and how difficult it can be for people who know the abuser to recognize that behavior as wrong, even when seeing it happen right in front of them.  There’s also a lot to be said about the assumptions the creature makes about how it can use sex for bait.

The episode opens with lighthearted banter between Kirk and McCoy, establishing their friendship with the ease of their teasing.  Darnell is the outsider here already, a junior crewman nervous to be on an away team with not one but two of his superior officers.  And then Nancy shows up, looking like three different women at once, and the plot finds itself dropped into the tail end of a long running tragedy.

Imagine, for a moment, the picture of the last two years that gets painted over the course of the episode.  Dr. Crater can’t remember when his wife died.  Was it a year ago?  Two?  He’s not sure.

Maybe he ran across her body after she died... but if that’s the mottled corpse of his wife, then who was he talking to over dinner?  Who did he give the salt tablets to, thinking Nancy seemed out of sorts from the heat?  Did the deception over whether or not the creature was Nancy really end there or did the creature torment and gaslight him first before finally admitting the truth?

And then the first time a crew arrived with supplies after he knew what was going on... and Crater realizing he couldn't say a thing to them without risking 'Nancy' murdering the whole crew.  He has to stay the quiet, silent victim, trapped in an abusive, toxic relationship because the creature assures him that if he speaks up, other people will suffer and it will be blamed on him.  And perhaps, now and again, the creature did kill one of the suppliers for fun.  For the sport of it.  To watch Crater cringe and flounder for an explanation that would satisfy the suppliers without giving away their secret.  It made him complicit in their murder after the fact so that Dr. Crater would be afraid of the very people who might be able to save him.  So that the only person he could depend on was the one who ruined his life.  By the time it happens to crewman Darnell, he has an excuse at the ready.  The borgia planet, a deadly nightshade type plant that kills quickly.  The only difference is this time the crew is that of a Starship with a supercomputer whose memory banks include an accurate accounting of the borgia plant's affects.

With the arrival of Dr. McCoy, however, ‘Nancy’ has a new potential protector.  By then, the creature probably thinks of itself as Nancy to some degree, which makes Leonard’s memories of Nancy, full of vibrant recall and deep feelings, all the more appealing to the creature as a replacement for Crater’s memories and emotions, which have been tainted by the creature’s own actions and the knowledge of Nancy’s death.

(Additionally, it’s McCoy’s memories and feelings for Nancy that also make him attractive to Crater.  Having been denied the right to truly grieve Nancy’s death, it’s likely that Leonard reminiscing over how Nancy used to be gives Crater a chance to memorialize her, finally, in a way he’d been unable to alone.  It makes the scene where Crater keeps egging McCoy on while Kirk is subtly trying to get McCoy to shut up make more sense at any rate.)

Darnell’s death is rather senseless in the face of things, perhaps caused by the creature being unable to control their impulses but more likely a warning to Crater to keep him in line.  Nancy seems well used to using sexuality as a weapon as she interacts with Darnell, seeming even pleased that he makes it so easy to lure him away.  But once she chooses to leave Crater behind and heads up to the ship in the guise of Green, things begin to go wrong for the creature.

No one knows Green well enough for the creature to be confident mimicking him, he can’t simply take what he wants from Rand the way Nancy could with Carter and her various victims, and the large number of crewmen all over the place (including the ones who catcall Rand) make the creature nervous.  It’s first attempt at snagging a victim after giving up on the salt shaker nearly fails when it assumes that Uhura’s fantasies are similar to its previous victims.  That is, more about a sexual partner than a longing for home and an intellectual equal; notice how Uhura is at first insulted by the creature’s insinuations at first, but she becomes more at ease when he speaks in Swahili to her.  Once again the ship’s large crew interrupts the creature’s attempts to hunt and its forced to release the hold it had on Uhura.  

Hungry and afraid, the creature ends up retaking the familiarity of Nancy’s form and seeks out McCoy... and proceeds to drug him in order to take his place.  But while being McCoy grants the creature the chance to murder Crater, it only places itself at higher risk from its recklessness.  

When Kirk shows up to rescue McCoy from the creature, Leonard is suffering both from the after effects of the sleeping drugs and from the psychic manipulations of the creature, unable to tell what’s really happening in front of him because the Nancy he knew would never harm his friends.  It takes Spock showing McCoy that Nancy isn’t who he thinks she is to let him break through the manipulations and see the monster beneath his loved one’s visage long enough for McCoy to save Kirk.

While the episode is interesting for being a science fiction take on the Siren lore, it’s very heavily themed episode on the dangers of abusive, toxic relationships and the dangers of isolation with these kinds of abusive people.

But wait, there’s more.

Okay, so the creature had basically one modus operandi when it came to hunting.  Sexual attraction used as a baited hook to catch some tasty, tasty salty humans to eat.  The episode itself is called ‘The Man Trap’ which can be seen as a kind of gross reference to the idea that all men want sex (not even remotely true) and are thus easily manipulated by that desire.

However, the episode itself shows that sex appeal isn’t really all that effective a hunting technique once aboard the ship.  Uhura is insulted by the assumption she’d be automatically attracted to the man the creature presented her with, forcing the creature to switch gears to entice her with the familiarity and nostalgia of someone who also spoke Swahili.  Janice is repulsed by the creature’s fixation on her and the container of salt she carried.  The creature never even considers Kirk as an option for manipulating, presumably because he’s too focused on the welfare of his crew; the creature only tries to kill him because its afraid of being punished for its crimes and no longer sees a way out, but the creature never tries to lure him in as a target the way it does with Darnell or Uhura.

Additional Notes:

It’s really great to see the friendship between Rand and Sulu.  Janice Rand is a character we didn’t get to see enough of in the show (the reasons for which are truly appalling) and seeing the two of them as friends is a lovely treat.  It’s a friendship that likely continued beyond the Enterprise, as the last time Janice Rand’s character appears in the overall Star Trek universe is on an episode of Voyager where a flashback revealed she was part of Sulu’s crew on the Excelsior.  

We also get a good look in this episode at how much the crew’s safety and security means to Kirk.  He’s the first to link Darnell’s death by salt deficiency to Dr. and Nancy Crater’s insistence on getting salt tablets and even before that he wasn’t exactly impressed by the Craters attempts to explain away Darnell’s death as an accident.  He clearly takes every crewman’s death as a personal failing, but is still able to feel sympathetic towards the creature despite the necessity of its death, as evidenced by his comment about the buffalo at the end of the episode.  This is a Captain Kirk who sees Nancy Crater as a lovely woman who has aged well, a captain who views his duty to his ship and crew as the most important commitment in his life, and a man who greatly values his friendships.  This is not the caricature that eventually found its way into pop culture.  (He is, however, a character that’s easily headcanoned as being arospec, something I’ll have to discuss more at a later date.)

Ratings:

As I noted earlier, the episode’s name ‘The Man Trap’ can be seen as a kind of gross reference to the idea that all men want sex and the salt eater itself uses sexual attraction as a lure to attract its prey.  The creature also uses romantic attraction in an attempt to bind a protector to itself - first with Dr. Crater and later it attempts the same thing with Dr. McCoy only to misjudge the importance of McCoy’s friendships with Kirk and Spock.  There’s also Uhura’s very poorly thought out attempts to flirt with Spock that are completely shut down.  (Honestly, Uhura, what gives?  If you like your job, don’t pretend you don’t as a basis for flirting with a superior officer... that’s practically asking for a transfer.)

So for a rating between 0 and 10 where 10 is a very friendly episode and a 0 wouldn’t be recommended...

Ace Friendliness: 5
