‘I Can Do This Trick’: Jess Bush Reveals How She Approached Vulcan Nurse Chapel Character In Star Trek

by

As a dedicated Star Trek fan who has witnessed countless space-time anomalies, I must say that the transformation of Nurse Christine Chapel into a Vulcan in the latest episode of Strange New Worlds has truly taken my breath away! The way Jess Bush portrays this character’s thirst for knowledge is nothing short of extraordinary.

In a recent clip from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 episode directed by Jordan Canning, Nurse Chapel and several members of the USS Enterprise’s crew were converted into Vulcans, adding four new Vulcans to the enterprise. However, due to a minor mishap they were unable to turn back into humans. 

In an interview with Screen Rant, the actress who plays Nurse Christine Chapel, Jess Bush, explained how her character’s transformation into a Vulcan amplified her inherent thirst for knowledge. “Human Chapel is so inquisitive and eager to learn and grow,” she said, “she’s always striving for more knowledge.”

As stated by her, Vulcans enhance the fundamental human traits they initially possessed, and she envisioned a similar progression for her character. Bush elaborated that her character innately craved knowledge, and after transforming into a Vulcan, it seemed as if she received a device that amplified her intellectual capacity.

As an over-the-moon car enthusiast, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’ve just been handed the keys to a brand new automobile! Now, I can finally perform that trick I’ve always wanted, and with this speed, watch out world! Plus, there are so many more things I can learn and explore!” This exhilarating experience has truly fueled my curiosity and broadened the horizons of what I can now know.

In an earlier episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a look into Lieutenant Spock’s mind and emotional struggles took center stage. But, the third season introduced an intriguing twist by making Spock’s crewmates on the USS Enterprise transform into Vulcans, potentially offering Nurse Christine Chapel a deeper insight into Spock.

After transforming back into a human, Star Trek’s Chapel might still exhibit some of Spock’s innate confidence and grace that are characteristic of Vulcans. Throughout the series, both characters have served as beacons of guidance for each other. Chapel admires Spock for his Vulcan qualities, while he is motivated by her to maintain a connection with his human side.

With Chapel possibly gaining deeper insights into Spock’s mind, future events could become intriguing, even rekindling the spark between them romantically!
