The Enterprise Has a New Chief Engineer
Life aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise is a dangerous one, and the bridge crew learned that the hard way in season one when the ship’s Aenar Chief Engineer Hemmer (Bruce Horak) was forced to sacrifice himself during a chilling encounter with the Gorn. With the crew clearly shaken by his loss—especially young cadet Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), who had been contemplating leaving Starfleet behind her altogether before Hemmer took her under his wing—coming into season two, Hemmer’s replacement will have a lot to live up to.
So we’ll have to see how then Pelia, Hemmer’s replacement as Chief Engineer, will get on in season two then. Played by the legendary Carol Kane, we don’t know much about her yet, but hopefully she has a better fate than her predecessor.
