Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Review

Gary Anderson

Addell and Gary are back! They take a look at Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in its entirety. The ten-episode series is a mixed bag, showing a decline in quality and consistency compared to the first two seasons. While some episodes highlighted the strength of the cast and introduced a potentially significant new antagonist, others are built on weak writing, wacky plots, and rehashes of stories or subject matter from previous Star Trek series. The season three finale is seen as a perfect example of the season as a whole: it delivered an emotionally satisfying conclusion to a leading character’s arc. Still, it was marred by flawed, problematic writing, quirky episode ideas, and the rehashing of material from other Star Trek series, which wasted precious storytelling time in a season with 10 episodes.

In Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery, Michael and the crew of the USS Discovery travel 930 years into the future, and the 3188 they encounter is not what they expected.

Star Trek: Picard S3, E4 – “No Win Scenario”

Gary Anderson

The Titan is dead in space. The ship is slowly being pulled towards the center of the nebula. The severity of the situation is painted starkly when Riker discovers their best option is to divert all remaining power to life support to purchase four more hours before the entire crew meets certain death. “No Win Scenario” delves deeper into the characters as we explore the real dangers they face. The drama shifts from the crew fearing an external threats – Vadic and the Changeling spy – to an internal one – their own lack of faith and trust in one another.

Star Trek: Picard S3, E2 – “Disengage”

Gary Anderson

As we predicted last week, “Disengage” answered some of the questions raised by “The Next Generation.” Picard was revealed to be the father of Beverly’s son. Worf was proven to be Raffi’s secret handler. It was a good thing that neither of these “mysteries” were drawn out for another week because doing so would have been an insult to the audience since they were so obvious. Thankfully, the writers didn’t let that happen. Continue reading Star Trek: Picard S3, E2 – “Disengage”
