Just finished watching Season 2 episode 4. During the shootout near the end of the episode, Captain Pike blocks at least a couple of shots with a random platter.
What was the platter made of that it could dissipate so much energy?
Strange New Worlds has really grown on me overall, but that scene seemed really silly.
The helmets protected the soldiers from the radiation so I assumed they were made of lead? But they could have all been made from whatever ore the castle was made of and made of sterner stuff.
The phasers did dent the platter.
