One of the many criticisms that emerged from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ uneven third season was that the show struggled with the effective balance it had maintained in its first two seasons between classical action-adventure episodes in the vein of Star Trek‘s past and more outlier (and largely lighter-hearted) one-off episodes that put zany premises over […]
The First Look at ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 4 Gets Enterprise Lost In Space
After a bumpy end to a very uneven third season, it seems like Strange New Worlds is beginning to realize that its next mission is a course correction. At New York Comic Con today, Paramount revealed our first proper look at the penultimate season of the Star Trek prequel show, after teasing some puppetry-based shenanigans at SDCC […]
Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’
At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment […]
‘Star Trek’ Journalists, Ranked
The potential for what journalism looks like in Star Trek is a heady idea that’s been around as long as the series itself. What does reporting the news look like in utopia?

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Did a Documentary Episode That Should’ve Been Killed in the Edit
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is, at this point, very clearly a series that is unafraid to dabble in its format on a regular basis.

The Grimmest Ensign Deaths on ‘Star Trek’
Lots of people die in Star Trek, and do so pretty horrifically. Boldly going is deadly business, but there’s always something particularly grim when tragedy strikes at the lowest rung on Starfleet’s officer ladder: the lowly ensigns that keep any good starship or space station humming along as they try to survive long enough to eke […]
On ‘Strange New Worlds’, What’s a Little Trauma Bonding Among Friends?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has had a bit of an awkward tone issue. Across four episodes already, we’ve switched episode-to-episode from pretty grim circumstances (a Gorn attack here, a zombie outbreak there) to lighthearted silliness (an encounter with Trelane here, a holodeck murder mystery there). Even as those individual episodes haven’t all […]
