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.

Very much looking forward to season 3!

So damn entertaining. The second episode made me doubly mad that Stranger New Worlds is ending after five seasons and Our Flag Means Death ended after two.
