Star Trek: Section 31’s Phase Pod Never Explains Why It Can’t Fall Through The Floor
The Godsend is somehow prevented from floating through space
When attempting to take the Godsend from Dada Noe ( Joe Pingue ) , Georgiou get him by surprise by bind a phase pod to the weapon ’s exterior shell . The pod cast the type out of form with " everything in the universe " because it " vibrates on a certain wavelength . " As a termination , it falsify the Godsend ’s social structure , and it slips from Dada Noe ’s grip . queerly , the attached phase angle pod somehow allows the case to rest well on the primer . The floor does n’t have a phase seedcase seize , so the case should drop off flat through and out into space .
Only a flimsy account is ever provided for how the form pod whole caboodle .
Only a tenuous explanation is ever provided for how the phase seedpod works . The only other piece of lore that ’s included is that an individual can wear another form pod set to the same wavelength and interact with other out - of - phase objects . Georgiou ’s character look at advantage of this by doing so . While it let her to lift the Godsend and avoid Dada Noe ’s attacks , Georgiou also somehow detain tolerate on the ground beneath her feet . Really , she should fall through the terra firma as well .

Star Trek Has A Long History Of Similar Problems Raised By Section 31’s Phase Pod
Several Star Trek stories cut the same corner with out-of-phase lore
Michelle Yeoh’sStar Trekmovie is not the first effort from the franchise to confront this job . target and multitude slip in and out of phase is one ofStar Trek ’s with child tropes . It ’s a conception that ’s faint enough to be elastic within a story ’s conception while also just on the verge of being scientifically believable . regrettably , the long - melt quad opera has never managed to empty the narrative blind spot of whatever ’s out of form being able-bodied to stand on a solid surface they should n’t even be capable to touch .
Star Trek ’s first straightforward - to - streaming pic stress something very unfearing , but the result fell short of the project ’s substantial aspiration .
One of the better dealership scenarios that illustrate this is inStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 5 , episode 24 , " The Next Phase . " Ensign Ro Laren ( Michelle Forbes ) and Lt . Commander Georgie La Forge ( LeVar Burton ) are need in a conveyer accident that results in them being out of phase with everything around them .
