Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has done a lot of odd things in the course of its five-season mission. We’ve had musicals, fantasy episodes, full-on horror adventures, and even a murder mystery is on the horizon. Now, the show is boldly going in another kooky direction: a puppet episode.

Trump Expects Paramount to Run Conservative PSAs Following Hush Money Payments
Paramount is learning the hard way why you don’t simply acquiesce to bullies.
