Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

spoilers follow.

Spoiler: 3.01

Good continuation of the cliffhanger they had, with a satisfactory hopeful neding. In light of the appearance of characters in ep. 2, I am pretty sure it was filmed with season 2, and held in the can (reasonable -- they would have had the sets and the team in place).

Spoiler: 3.02

Trelane from TOS is explicitly made a child of Q (John de Lancie with a cameo voice appearance, though not named), and appears here doing mischief. I liked that everyone describes the character as being of different species, and no one notices the inconsistency. Chappel's fella is roguishly endearing, but a little too ideal, and he absolutely should not be dating someone who he is supervising in a fellowship. Unethical academic, even with his 241 papers.

First two episodes are up! I haven't watched them myself, but my sister has. She says there's a bit of tonal whiplash between the two, with the first being "we're all gonna die!" and the second being a "weird fantasy comedy" thing. She says the latter involves Trelane, an "annoying Q-like" character who originally appeared in TOS.

Ah, yes, the noble Squire of Gothos.
