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might be as obsolete as its critics were beginning to suggest, that its own optimistic future history might be as outdated as this world of rocket packets and ray guns.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
