Number One's Strange New Worlds Trial Won't Fix A Big Starfleet Problem

W hatever the verdict in the upcoming trial of Number One (Rebecca Romijn) in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, it won't overturn a major Starfleet prejudice that continues long into the 24th century. Strange New Worlds season 1 ended with the arrest of Una Chin-Riley for failing to disclose her genetic augmentations and Illyrian heritage. The Strange New Worlds season 2 trailer revealed that Una will eventually return to the Enterprise, which means that she'll escape both a prison sentence and dismissal from Starfleet. How Una wins her case remains to be seen, but Star Trek canon has established that, sadly, the verdict doesn't lead to sweeping societal changes.

The ban on genetic modifications was introduced with the intention of avoiding the rise of another Khan Noonien-Singh in the wake of the devastating Eugenics War. However, this ban is effectively a form of prejudice that is hard to square with Starfleet and the Federation's egalitarian ethos. Canonically, Una Chin-Riley may be the first augment to fall foul of Starfleet's stringent restrictions, but she won't be the last. Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig) and Dal L'Rel (Brett Gray) were also exemplary Starfleet officers, whose genetic enhancements barred them from entry into the institution. It's a stark reminder that Una's trial is the first step in a very long road that stretches as far as Star Trek: Prodigy .

RELATED: Strange New Worlds' Number One Timeline: When Does "The Cage" Happen?

Number One's Trial Is Only The First Step In Fixing A Big Starfleet Problem

Regardless of how Number One wins her trial in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, it's known that she's an exception, rather than a new rule. The ban on genetic enhancements was still in place a century later when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine revealed that Julian Bashir was an augment . A few years later, Dal L'Rel's heroism in saving Starfleet from the Vau N'kat and their Living Construct counted for nothing when his origins as an augment were discovered. It's interesting to ponder why the augment ban is still firmly in place a century after the First Officer of the Federation's flagship was discovered to be genetically enhanced.

It's likely that the rediscovery of Khan Noonien-Singh in Star Trek: The Original Series considerably set back progress for how Starfleet perceived augments. Up until the discovery of the S.S. Botany Bay Khan was a monster from history, whose shadow could have diminished over time. Una's role on the USS Enterprise and her Starfleet record would have done a lot to eclipse these negative attitudes toward augments. However, faced with Khan's attempted hijack of the Enterprise, and his theft of the Genesis Device, Starfleet likely decided that it was wise to keep the ban in place.

DS9's Doctor Bashir Could Reveal How Number One Stays In Starfleet

When Doctor Julian Bashir was discovered to be genetically enhanced in the DS9 episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume", he too was faced with dismissal from Starfleet. The sacrifice of Julian's father kept Bashir aboard Deep Space Nine. It was revealed that Julian's parents conducted the illegal enhancements because he was behind the other kids at school. As a child, Julian couldn't have legally consented to the augmentations, which could be what exonerates Una in Strange New Worlds season 2.

As an Illyrian, genetic enhancements are part of Una's culture, so she would have inherited many of her augmentations from her parents. As genetic enhancement is part of the Illyrian culture in Star Trek , it's also probable that Una couldn't be blamed for the augmentations authorized by her parents, or made possible by her cultural background. This loophole may provide a way out of Una's predicament, placing her back where she belongs for the rest of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 premieres Thursday, June 15, on Paramount+.

How Old Reena Virk & The Seven Oaks Teens Are In Under The Bridge (& How Their Actors Compare)

What happened to the real dusty pace after under the bridge, when under the bridge's finale releases & how many episodes are left.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Under the Bridge.

• Warren Glowatski's trial in Under the Bridge strains his relationship with Samara, raising doubts about their future together.
• Rebecca Godfrey's book points to the likelihood that Samara and Warren Glowatski broke up, though it's never confirmed.
• Samara's real-life whereabouts remain unknown post-Under the Bridge, and it's important to respect her privacy.

Warren Glowatski's trial in Under the Bridge put a strain on his relationship with Samara, leaving ambiguous whether they could ever get back together. The highly-rated Hulu miniseries Under the Bridge is finally reaching its conclusion after many weeks of telling a fictionalization of the true story of Reena Virk's murder . The teens responsible for her attack and murder have been arrested in the story.

The ending of Under the Bridge episode 7 shows Warren Glowatski's trial and verdict, putting him behind bars with a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after seven years. Glowatski's part in Reena Virk's murder caused his girlfriend Samara distress, and the trial only further drove a wedge between them. However, he clearly still had feelings for her. Because both characters are based on real people, this raises the question of what happened to their relationship after the events of Under the Bridge .

Hulu's Under the Bridge changes the name of Warren's girlfriend to Samara. The real Samara was one of the few instances where a minor's real name was used within Rebecca Godfrey's Under the Bridge .

It's Unknown If Warren & Samara Broke Up After Under The Bridge

One major change in Under the Bridge episode 7 is that Samara didn't want to see Warren in prison. In real life, Samara begged to see Warren, finding a way to send him an illicit letter after being denied contact. Warren also maintained his love for Samara, getting a jailhouse tattoo to commemorate their relationship. He sent multiple letters that were confiscated. The show also removed the heartwrenching moment in the book where Samara was forced to testify against Warren, causing conflicted feelings. Without these moments, it's unclear whether the pair ever broke up in the miniseries.

She mentions thinking about going to visit him, but that's the last mention of Syreeta and Warren's relationship – whether platonic or romantic.

However, in real life, Samara's stepfather asked Warren to stop calling and sending letters so that she could move on with her life. This and the fact that she says she had boyfriends in high school implies that they broke up. Godfrey writes that Samara reached out to Warren after two years without contact, and they exchanged letters. She mentioned thinking about going to visit him, but that's the last mention of Samara and Warren's relationship – whether platonic or romantic. It's unknown whether the two ever met again or if they revived their relationship.

Based a true murder, Under The Bridge examines teenage gangs and peer pressure in society. This is how old each character is compared to their actors.

The Real Samara's Whereabouts Are Unknown After Under The Bridge

Since the events of Under the Bridge , Samara has disappeared from the public eye, an incredible feat considering her anonymity was not protected in the way that the attackers were . It's unknown what career she went into, whether she found romance, or where she resides. Considering her privacy was previously violated due to her relationship with Warren Glowatski, it seems especially important that the public allow her to keep her information concealed unless she chooses to put herself in the limelight. Samara should not be forced to reveal information about herself due to her negative teenage experiences.

'Nicole was not nothing:' Nicole Crawford's ex-boyfriend sentenced for 2021 murder in Bear

Nicole Crawford wasn’t the first woman Justin Chaffier had victimized.

She wasn’t the second or the third, or even the fourth.

Chaffier, who was convicted in March of stalking and killing 36-year-old Nicole at her Bear home in Feb. 2021, had been targeting women for more than a decade, prosecutors said as he was sentenced to life in prison on Friday.

Nicole just happened to be the woman with whom he took it too far. Or, as her family and friends choose to believe, she was the woman who finally tripped him up – the one who made it impossible for him to hurt anyone else.

Surrounded by loved ones in New Castle County courtroom 4B on Friday morning, Nicole’s aunt described all that Chaffier took from their family, the community and Nicole’s two sons, 8-year-old Gabriel and 5-year-old Oliver.

Through tears, Dawn Manzolillo − speaking on behalf of Nicole's mother, who sat in the gallery − told the court that Nicole had missed Oliver’s recent pre-school graduation. Gabriel’s communion weeks ago. Trips to the apple orchard and the beach and Disney, all places Nicole loved to take her boys.

NICOLE CRAWFORD'S LEGACY: ‘She was our joy’: Remembering Nicole Crawford, the woman who gave ‘undying’ support

And she explained that because of Chaffier’s decision that February night, Nicole's parents lost the privilege of being grandparents. Instead, they must keep on the boys about homework, school events, birthday parties and doctor's visits, all "because they don't have their mom."

"When we sleep, we have nightmares," Manzolillo said, adding that Gabriel is in therapy because of his mother's death.

"We don't know what it feels like to not be stressed or worried or anxious. We can't remember what it feels like not to grieve."

The stalking and killing

In the weeks leading up to Nicole’s death, Chaffier “terrorized” the woman, neighbors first told police and then later testified at the March trial.

The two had begun dating in the summer of 2020 but broke up about six months later, around New Year’s 2021, after Nicole learned Chaffier hadn’t been faithful. While they continued seeing each other occasionally after the breakup, Nicole made it clear she was in charge of the now-casual relationship.

This, prosecutors, family and friends have repeatedly said, didn’t sit well with Chaffier. In response, he began showing up uninvited at her home, work and even a Target she was shopping at.

THE STALKING: He’d stalked and assaulted women before. In Delaware, would he take it too far?

Over about a two-week period in mid-February, Chaffier’s stalking escalated, beginning first by trekking around her backyard and up her deck to her bedroom window while she slept.

Several days after that, he drove down from his King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, apartment to peer in Nicole’s kitchen window as she worked from home mid-afternoon because she wasn’t responding to his repeated text messages.

Just three days after that, he again made the trip from his apartment to her house, lurking around her home and peering into her windows for hours until neighbors called police.

The New Castle County Police officers who arrived that night temporarily scared him off, but he returned five days later. That night – Feb. 25, 2021 – he strangled Nicole to death, then used her phone to cover his tracks.

Her mother found her dead in her bedroom the following morning.

“The defendant is dangerous,” said Jenna Milecki, one of the prosecutors on the case. "That was apparent long before Nicole's (murder)."

Chaffier was arrested and charged with stalking one week after Nicole’s death. In August 2021, following a medical examiner’s report ruling Nicole’s death a homicide, a grand jury indicted Chaffier for first-degree murder.

SOLVING THE MURDER: A suspicious death or something more? How Delaware police pieced together this killing

A New Castle County jury found him guilty of murder and stalking, a G-felony, on March 13. At Friday‘s sentencing, Judge Paul Wallace sentenced Chaffier to life in prison for the murder plus two years for the stalking charge.

“It is the court's intent that Mr. Chaffier never see the light of day,” Wallace said as he handed down the sentence.

Delaware does not have parole, meaning that barring any successful appeal or a sentence commutation, Chaffier will die in prison.

Judge: A 'malignant narcissist' with a sinister background

Though much of Friday’s sentencing centered on the impact Nicole's murder had on her loved ones, Milecki also emphasized Chaffier’s prior violent history with women.

Though he was only convicted of two intimate partner violence-related crimes prior to his March murder conviction, Milecki said women dating as far back as his time at Pennsylvania State University have come forward with stories about the man.

In 2007, Milecki said, Chaffier was charged with stalking a college girlfriend. At the time, a protection from abuse order was issued, which Milecki said he violated. The former girlfriend also told prosecutors he strangled her.

In 2015, he was again charged with stalking – and later convicted – after an ex-girlfriend found Chaffier peering into her window. He continued to harass her, Milecki said, including by breaking into her apartment.

Four years later, Chaffer strangled another girlfriend during an argument, holding her against the wall, Milecki said. While that woman didn't report the incident to police, he was later found to have her account passwords and even her shoe size written down.

Then in the beginning of 2020, Chaffier began dating another woman, Amanda, whom he also repeatedly stalked after she attempted to end their relationship. She also did not formally report the incidents to police, but later told detectives and prosecutors, as well as a Delaware Online/The News Journal reporter, that Chaffier was sexually violent with her.

Delaware Online/The News Journal does not typically identify victims of sexual violence and is choosing to identify Amanda only by her first name.

Milecki said on Friday that Chaffier's three stalking arrests, as well as the incidents that were not formally reported to police at the time they occurred, "show a clear increase in the severity in the number of victims" and the severity of his conduct.

She added that all incidents prior to Nicole's murder were "alarmingly similar to facts presented at trial."

"The defendant always escalates," Milecki said. "The defendant is a risk to the community, and specifically women."

As Wallace, the judge, addressed Chaffier, he agreed with Milecki, noting the 37-year-old's refusal to accept responsibility for the murder. Chaffier's attorneys said on Friday that he maintains his innocence.

Calling Chaffier a "malignant narcissist," Wallace said the man's "own feeling of worth is so incredible to view women as disposable."

That, the judge said, is "exactly" how Chaffier treated Nicole, a doting mother, supportive friend, loving daughter and teacher of children with special needs.

As Nicole's family dabbed their eyes and embraced one another from the courtroom benches, Wallace commended them for their "grace" during the trial and sentencing.

Finally, just before imposing Chaffier's life sentence, he reminded them of who Nicole was:

"It’s not really about the women, it’s about him," Wallace said of Chaffier. "They become nothing to him, but Nicole was not nothing."
