Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

[Paul Farquhar]

As this was the original series finale, I read that as foreshadowing the Kirk mission.

Which would have made sense if it had been the final episode. They clearly thought they weren’t getting renewed!

Flashbacks to Blake’s 7, where everyone thought they were cancelled until a new series was mentioned by an announcer after the “last” episode.

They've been foreshadowing TOS in various ways the entire time, and this in no way felt like a series finale.

Nice to know that they're going to have more seasons, this felt very much like the finale to me (apparently it was going to be from reading other posts). Almost felt like there was a reboot of TOS planned for after the close of this season.

So the finale basically felt like the rest of the season as a whole.

A fun premise, enjoyable characters enjoying the moment....but extremely rushed, with a plot moving at warp speed, that takes no time to consider any sensible alternatives, and just goes "well its clearly this....so that's what we are doing....there couldn't possibly be another way".

I was thinking of Morrus this episode when I saw the planet, "ah, that's where the budget went!"

Ultimately I still enjoyed this season, I still had a good time, its still some of the best Trek I've seen since the Orville. But....compared to S1 and S2 this was definitely the weakest season by a good stretch.


I will say that M'Benga had a small but very important scene in this one. Basically once M'Benga realized that killing himself would stop the creature he DID NOT HESTITATE, and went right for the throat.....putting the creature off balance and letting him lock him up and delay him long enough for Patel to go Super Saiyan. That guy has some Cajones!
