Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 308 - 'Four-and-a-Half Vulcans'
There is nothing 'technically' wrong with any of them.

By Jay Stobie
As the U.S.S. Enterprise heads to Purmantee III for shore leave,* Lt. Commander Una Chin-Riley and Lt. La’An Noonien-Singh chat about Number One's decision to work during her vacation, and La'An responds awkwardly to Lt. Spock when the Vulcan tries to sit with them. Meanwhile, Captain Marie Batel and Captain Christopher Pike spar in the Gymnasium, where Batel shares her desire to convince Vice Admiral Pasalk to allow her to return to court.
The Vulcan High Command contacts the Enterprise about the pre-warp population of Tezaar, as despite previous interactions with the Vulcans, the Federation can't assist the planet directly without violating the Prime Directive. Early Vulcans provided the Tezaarians with a nuclear-based method of powering their entire world, and the system requires maintenance to prevent a meltdown. Given the Tezaarians' advanced scanning technology, the Starfleet away team can't just appear Vulcan, they have to become Vulcan.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 307 - 'What is Starfleet?'
Their job is to bring light, warmth, and life wherever they go.

By Jay Stobie
Humberto "Beto" Ortegas narrates over declassified security footage recorded aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. Beto questions what separates a Federation from an Empire, asking if Starfleet officers are explorers or soldiers.* As part of his "What is Starfleet?" documentary, Beto interviews Captain Christopher Pike and his crew about their lives in service to the Federation.
In his quarters, Lt. Spock recalls running away to the Plain of Blood as a child after his friend Surak was instructed not to associate with him. Young Spock attempted to cut away his human half with a Vantu blade. Speaking in her own quarters while working on her motorcycle, Lt. Erica Ortegas defends Starfleet's need to remain armed on its missions. Lt. La'An Noonien-Singh concurs, describing multiple injuries she sustained, including a slash from a Kolaran blade. Nevertheless, La'An emphasizes that Starfleet prioritizes exploration, classifying its weapons as defensive.
In the Ready Room, Lt. Commander Una Chin-Riley assures Beto that Starfleet always has the interests of Federation and non-Federation worlds in mind. Meanwhile, after launching a devastating attack on Lutani VII, Kasar attempts to lay claim to the planet and its resources. Allowed to film Captain Pike's briefing for his story on the Enterprise,** Beto listens as Pike references a classified mission to transport cargo to Lutani VII. Despite past hostilities with the Lutani, the Enterprise will transport a Jikaru — classified as livestock — to be used in rebuilding efforts.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Finale Recap: A Heartpounding Cliffhanger
The Gorn return in the 'Strange New Worlds' Season 2 finale, leaving Captain Pike to make a deadly decision.

By Samantha Coley
In another abrupt tonal shift, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale sees the crew of the USS Enterprise caught between a moon and a Gorn place. When the Gorn return with a violent and extremely deadly attack on a new colony at the edge of Federation space, Starfleet orders Captain Pike (Anson Mount) not to get involved, but with innocent people on the ground, Pike must get creative with his unsanctioned rescue mission.
Written by series co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers and directed by Maja Vrvilo, "Hegemony" is reminiscent of The Next Generation's iconic Season 3 cliffhanger "The Best of Both Worlds," as it leaves key characters in deadly situations that won't be resolved until the next season returns. However, with the Enterprise facing a decidedly different enemy, "Hegemony" stumbles into some disappointing misogynist plot points that leave the series on a sour note. That isn't to say that the episode is bad — for the most part "Hegemony" is a heart-pounding suspense thriller in the vein of Alien or Jurassic Park. The episode even introduces a Star Trek: The Original Series fan-favorite and finally lands some excellent Spock/Chapel moments.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: A Musical That Ends on a High Note
The cast of 'Strange New Worlds' brings their A-game to "Subspace Rhapsody," locking it in as one of the best episodes in the franchise.

By Samantha Coley
Strange New Worlds has officially taken Star Trek where no other series within the franchise has gone before with its very first musical episode. The penultimate episode of Season 2, "Subspace Rhapsody," sees the crew of the USS Enterprise collide with an anomaly that sends the entire federation into an alternate dimension powered by song. As each member of the crew from Captain Pike (Anson Mount) to visiting officer Jim Kirk (Paul Wesley) begins singing about their innermost thoughts, Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) must race against the clock to reset their reality before the Klingons arrive to destroy the source of their dishonor.
Written by Dana Horgon and Bill Wolkoff, "Subspace Rhapsody," while delivering a whacky off-the-wall musical, still drives several plot points forward as the end of Season 2 draws near, and delivers some truly quintessential Star Trek. The episode is directed by Dermott Downs, who previously helmed the musical crossover for Supergirl and The Flash, as well as several episodes of Fire Country. The ten new songs, which will be available on Spotify and Apple Music, were penned by Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley and Tom Polce with some stellar choreography from Roberto Campanella. The episode also features an acapella rendition of the show's theme song.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: War Makes Monsters of Us All
'Strange New Worlds' shifts gears to take on a political war drama that uncovers old wounds among the crew of the Enterprise.

By Samantha Coley
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is showing a complete range of episodes with Season 2, as "Under the Cloak of War" shifts gears between the wild and wonderful crossover episode and the upcoming upbeat musical episode to tell a story filled with bloodshed and political intrigue. While Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and several current members of the Enterprise crew missed the majority of the Federation's war with the Klingons, a handful of Starfleet's finest still remember the bloody battles quite vividly.
Written by Davy Perez and directed by Jeff W. Byrd, "Under the Cloak of War" casts a shadow of conflict over the crew of the Enterprise as they're tasked with transporting a Klingon general who defected towards the end of the war and has since sought to become a beacon of peace. While Dak'Rah (Robert Wisdom) presents a calm and kind outward demeanor, M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Chapel (Jess Bush), both of whom served as medics during the war, remember him very differently as they witnessed firsthand the loss of life he was responsible for.
By the end of the episode, the audience should be left with a very complex set of emotions, Pike and M'Benga stand at opposite ends of the situation at hand with both men operating through the lens of their own personal experiences. While the moral high ground of Pike's point of view is appealing and ideal, as M'Benga notes, there are some atrocities that cannot be forgiven. "Under the Cloak of War" is a stunningly written episode that digs into intense moral quandaries and ambiguities.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: Meeting Your Heroes Rocks
In the highly anticipated 'Strange New Worlds' and 'Lower Decks' crossover episode, Mariner and Boimler get to meet their heroes on the Enterprise.

By Samantha Coley
They say never meet your heroes, but Lower Decks ensigns Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) and Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) might disagree! In the highly anticipated Strange New Worlds crossover episode with Star Trek's adult animated series, the two young ensigns of the USS Cerritos travel back in time for an unforgettable adventure aboard the USS Enterprise with Starfleet legends like Captain Pike (Anson Mount), Number One (Rebecca Romijn) and Spock (Ethan Peck). While things appear to go a bit sideways for Boimler for a bit, and their heroes are not exactly how they imagined them, the episode brings everything full circle in an emotional, heartwarming hour of television that'll have audiences grinning from ear to ear.
The opening credits for this episode have also been reimagined in the animation style of Lower Decks, bringing the Enterprise to the second dimension for the first time in decades. “Those Old Scientists” is directed by Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes and as always with his episodes there’s an extra layer of warmth in the performances delivered within. The episode is truly a joint effort from the SNW and Lower Decks teams written by Kathryn Lyn and Bill Wolkoff. While Strange New Worlds fans can enjoy this episode without having seen Lower Decks, the experience is certainly richer for those who follow both shows, and audiences who've only seen one or the other will certainly be tuning in to both afterward.
The episode opens with the crew of the USS Cerritos on a routine mission to scan a portal and take readings of the no-longer-functioning device discovered by Captain Pike and the original crew of the Enterprise. Mariner naturally makes fun of Boimler's geeked-out excitement for the device that reportedly hasn't functioned in over 120 years, but they're both pretty stoked about standing in the footsteps of legends like Uhura and "Numuro Una." Naturally, Rutherford and Tendi are along for the ride, and Boimler is slightly green with envy when he learns that Mariner is in charge of the mission given that she doesn't care nearly as much as he does.
When they arrive on the planet to run their scans, Tendi tells Boimler that the device was actually found by an Orion science vessel that her grandma was on board. Boimler is pretty sure it was the Enterprise, but Tendi insists that not all Orions were pirates, even back then. Rutherford and Tendi pick up traces of heronium which hasn't been around for about a century, and Boimler remarks that they used it in the original Enterprise — Archer's Enterprise. He hops up on the platform of the portal and is in the middle of doing his best Spock impression when suddenly it comes to life, sucking him through and into the past, dropping him off right in front of Una, Spock, and La'an. The portal shuts off before Mariner can follow him through.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: Uhura Gets a Message From the Beyond
Uhura is seeing ghosts in this week's episode of 'Strange New Worlds' Season 2.

By Samantha Coley
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 is chasing last week's comedic episode with one of the most emotional episodes of the series thus far. "Lost in Translation," written by Onitra Johnson and David Reed, centers around Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) as she begins hearing strange noises and seeing ghosts from her past. Director Dan Li strikes a fantastic balance between horror and action/adventure with this episode, as Uhura races against the clock to understand what's happening to her and who exactly might be trying to send her a message.
This episode also honors star Melissa Navia's late partner Brian Bannon by naming the nebula after him — a birthplace for new stars and the home of a new alien species. "Lost in Translation" also gives Uhura a chance to grieve the loss of Hemmer (Bruce Horak), the Enterprise's Season 1 engineer who gave his life to save the rest of the crew. Strange New Worlds' episodic nature can make exploring long-term narratives like grief difficult, so it's satisfying to see the series return to this moment and explore Uhura's emotions in a way that inspires hope for the future.
Carol Kane also returns as Pelia in this episode as she squares off with Una (Rebecca Romijn) for the first time. Pelia remains one of the most delightful new aspects of Season 2, bringing unparalleled levity to every scene she's in and Kane bounces off of each of her scene partners with ease. Finally, "Lost in Translation" delivers the first-ever meeting (for their Prime timeline selves, at least) between Kirk (Paul Wesley) and Spock (Ethan Peck). While the moment is brief, the weight of it is not to be understated, as fate starts to fall into place for Star Trek's most iconic soul mates.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: Spock Gets a Fascinating Lesson in Humanity
A shuttle accident and an encounter with a strange alien life form turn Spock completely human ahead of an important dinner.

By Samantha Coley
Spock has been one of the most beloved Star Trek characters since the franchise first hit the air back in 1966. The latest episode of Strange New Worlds sees Spock's Vulcan DNA temporarily removed, leaving him completely human ahead of an important dinner with his fiancé T'Pring (Gia Sandhu) and her parents. In addition to exploring Spock's human side — which truly allows Ethan Peck to flex his comedy skills — the episode also finally addresses the romantic feelings simmering between Spock and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush).
Written by Kathryn Lyn and co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers, "Charades" is a hilarious and heartfelt romp that delivers a unique look at why love for Spock is such an enduring part of this franchise. The episode also brings back Mia Kirshner, who plays Spock's mother Amanda Grayson with an incredibly soft strength as we get a closer look at the deep connection between her and her son. For those excitedly waiting to learn about the ties between Amanda and Pelia, we'll have to wait a little long as Carol Kane isn't in this episode — she does send her regards, despite being away, indicating that the show certainly hasn't forgotten about that bit of information from the season premiere.
"Charades" does a beautiful job of exploring an oft-undervalued part of Spock's identity without devaluing his Vulcan side. While the Vulcan culture can be as harsh and unforgiving as T'Pring's mother, T'Pril (Ellora Patnaik), at times, it's still an essential part of who Spock is — one that Chapel risks her own life to restore despite getting the emotional honesty she longs for from human Spock. Spock is both human and Vulcan, and "Charades" teaches him how to see that neither of those identities should be taken for granted.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: Memories Worth a Thousand Cuts
"Among the Lotus Eaters" delivers an action-adventure mystery that dredges up tragic memories for Captain Pike and gives Ortegas her superhero moment.

By Samantha Coley
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 delivers its fourth episode with an action-adventure story featuring high stakes and a fascinating concept that scrapes the surface of the potential emotional depths within. "Among the Lotus Eaters" sees Captain Pike (Anson Mount), La'an (Christina Chong), and Doctor M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) stranded on a pre-warp planet and struck with the loss of their memories. With a mystery rooted in lore from the original series and a ticking timer engulfing everyone on the planet and in its orbit, Pike must face some demons buried in his past in order to live in the present.
Written by Kirsten Beyer and Davy Perez, and directed by Eduardo Sanchez, "Among The Lotus Eaters" picks up a thread from the unaired Original Series pilot, "The Cage." In that episode, Pike mentions a mission that went horribly wrong on Rigel VII, in which he lost a yeoman, and multiple people died after he found himself trapped and forced to fight one of the planet's warriors. The impossibly high standard that Pike holds himself to is very telling, and this episode both allows the Captain some emotional introspection and pushes him to let himself get close to people.
"Among the Lotus Eaters" opens with Captain Pike preparing a delicious-looking pasta dish with his mother's sauce recipe in anticipation of a cozy night in with his on-and-off romantic partner Captain Batel (Melanie Scrofano). Their two ships are working together to map a binary star system and while it's quiet they try to sneak in some personal time with each other. Almost immediately, their date night is interrupted by various inquiries from both of their crews, but it's nothing urgent so they settle in. She's brought him a gift from an archaeological dig, a token to "bring lost sailors home," and he's ready to show her his appreciation when they're interrupted again by a call from the Admiral for Batel.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: All's Fair in Love and Time Travel
"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" is both a thrilling time travel story and a heart-pounding romantic drama.

By Samantha Coley
After knocking it out of the park with "Ad Aspera Per Aspera," which is being widely lauded as one of the best episodes of the series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds does it again with "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow." The third episode of Season 2, written by David Reed and directed by Amanda Row, delivers a story that is both humorous and heartbreaking. When La'an (Christina Chong) is contacted by a temporal agent, she is first sent into an alternate timeline — in which James Kirk (Paul Wesley) is already captain of the Enterprise — and then sent back in time to stop someone from changing history forever. The only problem? She's sent back with a Kirk from a timeline that cannot exist if she does what she's sent there to do.
"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" stands out for many reasons — not only is this episode a thrilling time travel story and a heart-pounding romantic drama, but it's also an episode of Star Trek that, despite being in a prequel series, feels like it could not have existed without every Trek series that came before it. All this to say that this episode reads as both a beautiful love letter to the franchise as a whole as well as an incredible standalone story within Strange New Worlds.
Carol Kane's Pelia returns in the most delightful way in this episode as we get a deeper look at her very, very long life, and Reign star Adelaide Kane makes a captivating appearance in a guest role that keeps the audience on their toes. Chong and Wesley both deliver phenomenal performances that highlight their ranges and their unexpected chemistry. Strange New Worlds also finally calls the Star Trek future we're all striving towards a "socialist utopia" and then embraces its shooting location with "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," letting Toronto be Toronto instead of passing it off as New York.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: Number One on Trial
Number One is on trial in a breathtaking episode that inspires us to be our better selves and upholds the best ideals of Starfleet.

By Samantha Coley
The second episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 finally offers the resolution to Season 1's heart-pounding cliffhanger that saw Commander Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn) arrested and taken into custody for lying about being genetically modified. Titled "Ad Astra per Aspera," Episode 2 delivers a stunning courtroom drama that digs into social issues in a way that is inherent to Star Trek, while also giving us a look at how the crew of the Enterprise feels about their first officer.
Written by Dana Horgan and directed by Valerie Weiss, "Ad Astra per Aspera" introduces the phenomenal Yetide Badaki as Una's Illyrian lawyer and former childhood friend Neera and brings back Melanie Scrofano as Captain Batel on the opposing council. Batel represents strict adherence to Starfleet laws and protocols, despite her sympathy for Una, whereas Neera is determined to prove that laws are not always just and must be changed when they no longer serve the people they're meant to protect. The episode offers insightful commentary on how we should treat other people and how we approach the laws that govern us while providing an engaging character study of Una through the eyes of her peers. The emotional core of "Ad Astra per Aspera" makes every moment of the episode engaging and thoroughly thought-provoking as future history is made to reflect our own societal prejudices.
"Ad Astra per Aspera" begins with a flashback to Una's childhood. As a younger version of the future first officer looks out over the night sky her parents argue in the background about whether to take her to a hospital for a gnarly-looking wound on her leg. One of Una's Illyrian genetic modifications causes her immune system to glow, and because genetic modifications were widely frowned upon across the galaxy after the Eugenics Wars on Earth, her family must keep her modifications a secret or risk being exposed. Weiss uses some stunning homages to classic Trek in the way she films the return to the present, with artfully done close-ups and reflections as we find Una at Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: Breaking the Rules Is Only Logical
Spock takes the Enterprise on a joy ride and a friendly face joins the crew in the first episode of the season.

By Samantha Coley
After a year-long hiatus, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is finally back for Season 2 and in "The Broken Circle," we join the crew of the Enterprise on an unsanctioned mission into Klingon space. The premiere episode tees up the resolution to Season 1's cliffhanger, as well as rising tensions across the galaxy that will likely come back later in the season, and gives us our first introduction to Carol Kane's Pelia as she joins the crew in a rather unconventional manner.
Penned by showrunners Henry Alonso Meyers and Akiva Goldsman, and directed by Chris Fisher, the Season 2 premiere of Strange New Worlds catches up with Captain Pike (Anson Mount) but swiftly puts Spock (Ethan Peck) in the spotlight — and in the Captain's chair — for an adventure that kicks off the season with a hearty balance of suspense and action alongside heaps of heart and humor.
It's been no more than a few weeks after the cliffhanger that saw Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn) arrested for concealing her Illyrian heritage and breaking Starfleet's rules against genetic modifications. While the Enterprise is in spacedock for a routine inspection, Captain Pike speaks to Una via 23rd-century FaceTme, and while she seems resigned to her fate Chris isn't willing to let her go. At face value, Una is guilty, and she's not willing to drag his name through the mud to clear her own. The depth of their friendship drives him to take personal leave to ensure that she has a fighting chance to win her case, leaving the Enterprise in Spock's capable hands.

'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3 Finale Review: One of the Most Satisfying Series Endings Ever
“What began over thirty-five years ago, ends tonight.” 

In today’s streaming landscape, few shows are afforded the chance to deliver happily ever afters, and even fewer of those—who are given the chance to wrap up their stories—take it upon themselves to deliver finales that are satisfying from beginning to end. From the start, Star Trek: Picard has been one of the best series on television. It smartly paid homage to the past, while charting its own course through the stars, and with the final season it returned fully to its Star Trek: The Next Generation roots with legacy-making success.
Other franchises could learn from what Star Trek has delivered with Picard. Your beloved heroes can be flawed, and their offspring can be tormented by galactic baddies, and everyone can still make it home at the end of the day. Franchises like Star Trek are precious and generational and when you’re bringing something so monumental to a close, you don’t want to leave your audience in tears of sorrow, you want to leave them with tears of joy.
To perfectly bookend the Season 3 premiere, which was aptly entitled “The Next Generation,” Star Trek: Picard comes to a close with stunning visuals and a deep well of emotion with “The Last Generation. ” The episode opens with a dire message from President Anton Chekov (voiced by the original Pavel Chekov actor Walter Keonig) who warns that Earth’s planetary defenses are falling to the Borg’s attack, and while he urges listeners to save themselves from the young who have been turned against them by the Borg, he remains hopeful that there is a way out of the situation.
The crew of the Enterprise accesses the damage that Spacedock is sustaining and, while it is managing to hold its own against the fleet’s attack, Riker (Jonathan Frakes) questions where the cavalry is to save Earth. Unfortunately, as Data (Brent Spiner) reveals, the hails from the Federation and all other ships in the vicinity have gone completely silent. They are all that remains of the cavalry. With the realization that they are all that stands between Borg destroying Earth, they track down where the Borg Cube has been hiding within the gasses of Jupiter, and discover that they are using Jack (Ed Speleers) as a Command signal to broadcast their assimilation. With the solemness of a parent and the determination of a captain, Picard (Patrick Stewart) explains that in order to save Earth, and the galaxy, they will have to sever the beacon’s connection: no matter the cost.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 9 Recap: Oh Yes, She’ll Fly
The truth about Jack Crusher finally comes out.

It is hard to believe that Star Trek: Picard is drawing to a close, but the penultimate episode of Season 3 delivers so much more than Star Trek fans could have ever dreamed of for the final grand adventure of The Next Generation crew. In “Võx,” the truth about Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) finally comes out, and it sets the stage for one of the largest—if not the largest—threats that this cast of characters has ever faced before.
The episode opens mere moments after the end of Episode 8, with Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) working her counselor magic on Jack to try to get him to finally open the red door and reveal the mystery that lies within it. As Will Grove-White croons the eerily perfect tune “I Can’t Stop Crying,” Deanna pushes Jack to analyze their surroundings—particularly the red vines that cover the floor and walls leading to the red door. Jack recalls the Crimson Arboretum that his mother (Gates McFadden) took him to as a young boy, and mulls over the fact that the vines are like the roots beneath the soil which connect everything together. The song, he explains, is one that his mother shared with him: something that was passed from his father (Patrick Stewart) to Beverly, and then to him.
Realizing that Jack isn’t going to open the door on his own, Deanna offers to do it for him and promises him that no matter what is on the other side he won’t be alone. However, once she opens the door and sees what has been hidden there all along, she immediately breaks that promise and flees to find his parents. It’s there, with Picard and Beverly, that Jack’s secret is revealed. The eerie voice inside his head is none other than the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) and it’s the Borg Cube waiting for him on the other side of that ominous red door. The truth is a tough pill to swallow for Beverly and Picard, and they both try to theorize their way out of accepting it. Beverly points out that Jack has never been assimilated, while Picard begins to reckon with the idea that he may have passed on something far worse than the Irumodic Syndrome. This, they realize, is why Vadic (Amanda Plummer) wanted Jack so desperately—he’s a dangerous weapon that can be used against humanity.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 8 Recap: Surrender Isn’t an Option
With Vadic lording over the ship, the crew has to get creative to win back the Titan.

The eigth episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 opens with Vadic (Amanda Plummer) lording over the U.S.S. Titan, in the wake of Jean-Luc Picard’s (Patrick Stewart) failed plan to capture her in “Dominion.” While the crew has been through a considerable amount of bad situations ever since Picard and William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) came aboard, on the surface this one looks like it may be insurmountable. Especially as Vadic toys with them like a cat with her prey, taking away their eyes, ears, and the very road ahead of them, in an attempt to root out Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers). However, Vadic and the deadly Changelings aren’t their only threat either, though Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) is quick to unplug Data-Lore (Brent Spiner) to mitigate any future tampering the android may attempt.
In the sick bay, Beverly (Gates McFadden) and Picard attempt to access the security system, but Vadic has already effectively locked everyone out of the Titan. Recognizing that he is at a unique vantage point, Jack uses his newfound ability to enter the mind of an engineering officer out in the corridors. While Sidney (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) may not be able to see his glowing red eyes, Jack does overhear her thinking “what is he doing?” Jack puppets the officer down the corridor, looking upon the bloodshed left behind by the Changelings, but the episode is cut short by the officer getting killed—which seems like quite the shock to Jack’s system too. Beverly and Picard look on in concern, blissfully unaware of just how different their son is. Over the intercom, Vadic reveals that she intends to execute someone on the bridge unless Jack gives himself up in a timely fashion.

'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3 Episode 7 Recap: A Changeling of Command
The Titan sees a change in command as the truth about Jack Crusher comes into focus.

The seventh episode of Star Trek: Picard’s third and final season opens with an unexpected appearance from a familiar character: Tuvok (Tim Russ). When “Dominion” begins, it appears that some time has passed since William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) was taken into custody by the Changeling-infested Starfleet, and Seven (Jeri Ryan) and the rest of the Titan’s crew have mounted their own operation to locate him. Which is precisely why the two former Voyager officers have reunited.
While the rest of the crew closely monitors the situation, by looking for any signs that the Tuvok they’re speaking to is actually a Changeling, Seven presses him for answers. Does he know where Riker is? Has he heard from Janeway recently? When both of these answers arrive as rather dismissive negatives, Seven decides to switch up her tactics by referencing the games of Kal-toh they used to play aboard the Voyager. Tuvok’s answer doesn’t seem suspicious at first, but something about it causes Seven to set another trap for the Changeling to walk into. Once he takes the bait to arrange a rendezvous location, Seven suggests a planet that no Vulcan would ever agree to meet on. Paired with Tuvok’s sudden lapse of memory when it comes to the assistance he once offered to help Seven stabilize her neural patterns, it becomes blatantly obvious that they’re dealing with another Changeling.

'​​​​​Star Trek: Picard' Season 3 Episode 6 Recap: The Pieces Are Falling Into Place
LeVar Burton makes his return as Geordi La Forge, as Picard looks for allies who can help the crew of the Titan.

With the sixth episode of Star Trek: Picard’s third and final season, some of the biggest questions are finally answered. However, those answers create even more questions, which seem to hint at where the back half of the series is headed. Penned by Christopher Monfettex and directed by Dan Liu, “Bounty” finally delivers the long-awaited reunion of The Next Generation crew, as LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner are brought aboard the Titan, re-teaming with Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, and Michael Dorn to take on a threat that may just overshadow every other galactic incident that they’ve faced before.
While the Changeling threat has been ever-present across the last few episodes, Vadic (Amanda Plummer) has been notably out of focus since the U.S.S. Titan managed to escape from the nebula. With the starship shedding transponders to throw Vadic and the Changelings off their trail, Vadic's frustration with the situation seems to be reaching a fever pitch. “Bounty” opens aboard the Shrike, where Vadic is ranting and raving about how their kind—the Changelings—are suffering while they pretend to be Starfleet. While their plot seemingly hinges on the looming promise of hope, vengeance comes first and foremost. As the scene draws to a close, Vadic instructs her crew to track down each and every known friend or ally that Picard might call upon for help.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: Old Friends Deliver Fighting Chances
An unexpected face from 'The Next Generation' turns up to give Picard a fighting chance against the Changelings.

With Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and the Shrike far behind them, one might assume that Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the U.S.S. Titan are finally on the path to safety in the fifth episode of Star Trek: Picard’s final season, but that isn’t the case. The full scale of the Changelings' plot begins to come into focus in the aptly titled “Imposters,” and no one could have predicted just how widespread the danger is—both near and far.
The episode, directed by Dan Liu and written by Cindy Appel and Chris Derrick, opens quite serenely with the bridge crew of the Titan making preparations to get the starship back into working order after their near-death stint in the nebula, but the peace is quickly shattered when a Starfleet uniform-clad Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) steps onto the bridge to murder everyone. Luckily, for everyone involved, this terrifying episode is just a nightmare, but when Jack awakens from it, he is clutching a blaster, which suggests that maybe, just maybe, there’s something very real—and very wrong—at play. To his credit, Jack seems rightfully disturbed by the situation, but after two episodes of ominous red doors and creepy voices, Star Trek: Picard seems to be making a point that there’s something larger at play here for Jack. Just when it seems like he may be past this weird incident, his eyes turn red and that same creepy voice whispers: “Jack, come home.”
Elsewhere aboard the Titan, Picard, Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Seven (Jeri Ryan), and Captain Shaw (Todd Stashwick) convene to discuss the Changeling situation aboard the ship. After Riker hands control back over to Shaw, Shaw reveals that he already took the liberty of contacting Starfleet to report everything that has happened, including their misdeeds. He asks Seven if she wants to face the music reinstated, and she doesn’t even hesitate to ask to be reinstated. Picard vows to bear the brunt of the punishment since he was the one that orchestrated the whole takeover, and Shaw seems mightily pleased with the prospect that Picard might finally have to pay for his actions.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 4 Recap: Truth and Consequences
Picard and Jack finally get a long-overdue bonding moment in "No Win Scenario."

With its fourth episode, entitled “No Win Scenario,” Star Trek: Picard Season 3 delves into the tenuous relationship forming between Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his newfound son Jack (Ed Speleers), which plays out against the backdrop of the dire situation that the crew of the Titan finds themselves in, after Picard’s impulsive decisions in Episode 3. While the family drama plays out aboard the starship, Captain Shaw’s (Todd Stashwick) distaste for Picard and the Borg finally comes into focus, with revelations about the last time Shaw crossed paths with Picard.
Following last week’s tense closing moments, Episode 4 opens in a far more upbeat manner, with a flashback to five years ago. While Picard nurses a drink at 10 Forward, a gaggle of starry-eyed Starfleet cadets approach him—all eager to hear his triumphant tales from his travels out amidst the stars. One of them asks about his encounter with the Hirogen, which Star Trek: Voyager fans may remember from their numerous appearances in the series, and he launches into a rather eloquent recollection about the event, which he turns into a neat little teaching moment too. He explains to the cadets that his encounter with the Hirogen taught him that when the time comes, you must remain steadfast to your crew, no matter how dire the situation is. Which is a perfect segue into the predicament that Picard finds himself in, in the present storyline.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 3 Recap: Bridges Built and Bridges Burned
Emotions run high aboard the Titan.

Tensions are mounting aboard the U.S.S. Titan as Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and the Shrike pursue the starship deeper into a dangerous nebula, which prevents them from jumping to warp. But tension isn’t the only thing mounting, emotions are too. On the heels of last week’s revelation, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Jack (Ed Speleers) are both forced to come to terms with their newfound connection in Episode 3 of Star Trek: Picard Season 3.
Picard is convinced that Vadic will continue to pursue them, no matter where they go until they surrender, and Captain Shaw (Todd Stashwick) isn’t looking to surrender his ship—at any cost. Without any other options, he orders the crew to take the ship deeper into the nebula, in hopes that they might be able to shake the Shrike loose. With the clear and present danger that the crew of the Titan is in, they are quick to glare at Jack and blame him for the attack, especially without knowing why Picard has pushed for Shaw to protect him. Beverly (Gates McFadden) cautions Jack that it’s not worth getting mad about because the crew is going to need them because of their medical experience.

‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Who’s Your Daddy? 

Jean-Luc Picard makes a shocking discovery.

If the premiere of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 left you with any questions about who Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) is to Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) you’ll be pleased to know that Episode 2 doesn’t beat around the bush. With the upbeat tune of Baby’s “Starchild” blaring in the background, the episode opens on a flashback to two weeks ago when Jack got into a spot of trouble for violating an airspace quarantine zone. The rock n’ roll of it all very quickly, and brilliantly, showcases the contrast between Jack and Picard, who is very much a character constructed to the tune of classical music.
The flashback also provides a little much-needed exposition and reveals a few key elements about Jack’s personality and what he and his mother (Gates McFadden) have been doing since Beverly’s last appearance in Star Trek: Nemesis. When the Fenris Rangers board their ship, Jack explains that they’re trying to deliver medical supplies to a planet that is suffering from a deadly fever—one that he hints may be part of an engineered pandemic that warlords are using to clear out refugees. The Rangers are skeptical and force him to show them the cargo aboard the vessel, which is largely medical supplies. Even the Romulan ale they have stowed away is used for medicinal purposes. But they also have weapons aboard the ship, which Jack explains they use for bartering, and those weapons also work on bribing the Rangers to let them help the refugees on the surface. Unfortunately, what Jack doesn’t realize is that the Rangers are on a reconnaissance mission of their own, and the flashback ends with them reporting back to a mysterious someone that they have found Jack.

For anyone who doesn't know, the latest new Star Trek production will be an immediate prequel to the original 1966 television show, taking place on the original Enterprise when Christopher Pike was captain.
If you've ever seen the original series episode "The Menagerie," or perhaps the unaired pilot "The Cage," then you know that the good old NCC 1701 (no bloody A, B, C, or D, as Scotty might say) was seeking out new life and new civilizations well before James T. Kirk.
Set to premiere May 5th on Paramount+, here's a short synopsis provided by Paramount:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The all-new series will feature fan favorites from season two of Star Trek: Discovery, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

A few weeks ago a short teaser was released, and this past week several character promos started appearing online, one after another, leading up to today's release of an official trailer. I've compiled them all here in order of release. (the new official trailer is last)

"The Star Gazer"
My very own rambling, overly detailed, not-so-quick recap.
We finally learned how grapes are harvested in the 25th century – by transporter.
Yup, it's the 25th century now. According the vintage date on Picard's new wine cases the year is 2401. So we're starting out 2 years after Season 1.
Laris is still living at Chateau Picard, but Zhaban has been gone for a year-and-a-half now. It wasn't made clear why, but I suppose he died. In that time Laris has developed feelings for Picard, but he seems to have relationship issues that were unknown in TNG. He had a couple of relationships in TNG, didn't he?
In a flashback to Picard's childhood we meet his mother, who may have been abused by his father. We learn she was the one who inspired his interest in the stars, by telling him to look up. She has a British accent, too. Haha.
A starship called the USS Avalon discovers a spatial anomaly.
Picard is Chancellor of Starfleet Academy. Raffi is back in Starfleet with the rank of commander. Elnor is the first fully Romulan cadet at the Academy.
Seven is back with the Fenris Rangers using Rios's ship La Sirena, and fights off thieves trying to steal medical supplies she's transporting. She merged all of Rios's holos into one, Emmet, who is her only crew member. Emmet detects the anomaly and tells Seven about it.
Agnes and Soji are on a diplomatic mission to Rariton IV in the Beta Quadrant. One of the inhabitants flirts with Agnes but she isn't interested, explaining that she was only recently cleared of murdering her last boyfriend due to alien-induced temporary insanity. Rios contacts her and she leaves Soji on the planet, beaming up to the starship where Rios is now captain. It's the new USS Stargazer, NCC 82893. Complete with four nacelles, just like Picard's. Rios has to go investigate the spatial anomaly and wants to take her brain along.
Back at Starfleet Headquarters (or maybe Starfleet Academy, not really sure), Picard tells Raffi he's thinking about changing the Kobayashi Maru test, while Raffi seems to miss Seven, and Elnor receives a book from Picard to help him adjust to being the only Romulan at the Academy – The Many And The One, written by Spock when he was a cadet. Raffi and Elnor leave on the Excelsior, presumably for a training mission.
Rios and Agnes arrive at the anomaly aboard the Stargazer. They analyze it and find it unremarkable. Seven shows up with La Sirena and hails Rios. He's not happy with how she's taking care of his ship. She says a few dents look good on it. A loud audio signal suddenly comes from the anomaly, but the universal translator can't figure it out. Agnes performs some analytical wizardry and determines the signal is several voices at once, all saying "Help us, Picard."
In Los Angeles, Picard visits a place called Forward Avenue Historic District. He goes through a doorway with the address of 10 above it. Get it? 10 forward? I got a kick out of that. It's a bar owned by Guinan, and he meets her inside, giving her a bottle of wine from Chateau Picard. They sit and talk. She gives Picard relationship advice (kind of), presumably sensing his problem with Laris.
Afterwards, Picard is back at the chateau when a Starfleet admiral arrives and tells him about the signal from the anomaly naming him personally. She offers him a new combadge, and he's off to investigate. Laris comes in after he leaves and watches him fly away, looking rather melancholy.
Picard is greeted by Seven aboard the Stargazer. On their way to the bridge she talks about how it's the first ship of a whole new class using technology from the Borg cube artifact (from season one). She seems apprehensive about that. They get to the bridge and Picard greets Rios and Agnes. 
Picard hails the anomaly directly. The anomaly loudly responds, "Picard." Things go south from there.
A huge, strange-looking ship emerges from the anomaly. Seven senses the ship is Borg (it's been over 20 years since they were practically wiped out by Cpt. Janeway). Many other Starfleet ships begin to arrive. One of them is the Excelsior, with Raffi in command.
Picard, Seven, Agnes, and Rios try to figure out what to do. Picard and Agnes want to see if the ship is friendly, Seven wants to destroy it ASAP. The ship hails them and wants to negotiate with Picard alone, in person, by sending their queen as an emissary. Rios is having none of that and orders the fleet to raise shields. A beam shoots from the ship and penetrates the Stargazer's shields. A figure materializes on the bridge, looking more like a faceless android than a Borg queen. "Well, that's new," says Agnes.
The queen says she wants peace, but first requires...power.
Borg tubules shoot out of her and into nearby bridge consoles. Seven and a crewman try shooting phasers at her, but her Borg shields hold and the queen shoots the crewman in return. Several others on the bridge start shooting, but again her shields hold and she shoots them all simultaneously. They're just stunned, though.
Agnes checks a console and discovers the queen is accessing command codes for all ships in the fleet and has started assimilating them. Picard orders the Stargazer to self-destruct. As the countdown nears zero the Borg queen tells him to look up, just like his mother used to, and then the Stargazer explodes.
Picard wakes up on the floor of the chateau. Looking around he notices things are different, including the combadge he's wearing. Laris isn't there, but a synthetic servant named Harvey is. Picard wonders what is happening when offscreen we hear Q say, "Mon Capitan, how I've missed you."
Q looks young at first, like he did back on the Enterprise, but then he ages himself to "catch up" with Picard. 
Q asks Picard if he remembers what he said the last time they parted ways, that the trial never ends?
"Welcome to the very end of the road not taken," says Q.
Suspenseful music. Hard cut to black. Roll credits.

Sir Patrick Stewart Discusses Star Trek: Picard Season 2

I know there's a crisis going on in the world right now, and this may seem trivial in comparison, but the new season of Picard is set to premiere on Thursday and I'm going to create posts for each new episode again, like I did for season 1.
The new season will run for 10 episodes from March 3rd through May 5th, ending on the same day that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres. I'm really looking forward to that one, and I'll be making posts for it as well when the time comes.
Paramount released a first look video for season 2 today.

The first episode was released today and I just watched it a little while ago. It certainly wasn't normal Trek, but then again, it wasn't supposed to be. It's supposed to be a comedy, but the only parts that actually made me laugh were the opening scene and the title sequence.
The part where Mariner was trying to say bat'leth but could only say "bat um, bat uh, bat..." made me chuckle, but I have to say I actually thought the title sequence was the funniest part of the whole show, like the part where the ship hits some space ice and then veers away and goes dark. That's not saying much, though, is it?
The episode really wasn't as funny as I was hoping it would be, but I'll probably keep watching just as a Trek-related distraction. Maybe future episodes will be funnier. A half hour once a week isn't too much to manage. I thought the voice actors did a good job, at least. Especially Tawny Newsome as Mariner.
Here's the opening scene I was talking about (the one with Mariner trying to say bat'leth), followed by the title sequence (with the space ice):

Star Trek is a multitude of great series and films, well known for its overall positive outlook on the future, especially where humanity is concerned. Since its debut, Star Trek has featured many memorable characters, either main, secondary, or guest stars. While the series focused on their respective series characters and stories, almost as important (If not more so) to each series and films are the starships they used. Some of these starships (classes) have become cultural icons and easily recognizable over the years. So what Federation starship class is the best class design or your favorite and why?
For this discussion, I'm only going to use canon capital starships from the "Prime" trek universe. So no Kelvin timeline ships, no shuttles, no Federation fighters, no Beta canon sources, no future timeline ships (sorry, that means no Enterprise-J), and no starbases. Just Federation starship classes, but not specific starships themselves. Although, I might name a starship as an example of the class in parentheses. Here is a list of starships (wow, there are a lot of Federation ship designs). I apologize if it's incomplete. Feel free to include any I missed. Everyone hates the Oberth (made of Explodium) class, so I will not include it. 
Akira class (USS Thunderchild)
Ambassador class (USS Enterprise-C)
Cheyenne class
Constellation class (USS Stargazer)
Constitution class (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701)
Constitution class refit (USS Enterprise, NCC 1701-A)
Crossfield class (USS Discovery)
Daedalus class (USS Horizon)
Defiant class (USS Defiant)
Excelsior class (USS Excelsior)
Galaxy class (USS Enterprise-D)
Intrepid class (USS Voyager)
Miranda class (USS Reliant)
Nebula class (USS Phoenix)
New Orleans class (USS Kyushu)
Nimitz Class (USS Europa)
Norway class (USS Budapest)
Nova class (USS Equinox)
Prometheus class (USS Prometheus)
Saber class (USS Yeager)
Sovereign class (USS Enterprise-E)
Steamrunner class
Walker Class (USS Shenzhou)

Star Trek: Picard - The Last Best Hope
By Una McCormack
************************
A while back I posted a seed about a new Star Trek book revealing that Worf became Captain of the Enterprise when Picard left. I've since bought the book and read it, and I thought I'd give a quick shout out about it, as this is the end of this year's episode posts for the Picard TV series.
It's called 'The Last Best Hope', by Una McCormack. I really don't know why the article I seeded before even exists. Worf isn't in the book at all, and the mention of him replacing Picard as Captain was only that, a mention.
The book is a gap filler, covering the period of time between Nemesis (or thereabouts) and the start of the new show. It was written last summer when Picard's first season was being produced, in close coordination with the show's creators, so the details in the book are about as close to canon as you can get without actually being a film or a TV show itself.
It covers the crisis with the Romulan sun, and drops hints at least twice that the reason it's going supernova so soon and unexpectedly might be artificial. No specific details are given, but a couple of scientists in the book have data-driven suspicions that it's not happening naturally.
Picard leaves the Enterprise and takes command of the Verity in order to lead the evacuation effort, receiving a promotion to admiral in the process. Raffi becomes his first officer, so that's how they meet and come to know each other. The book intends to make their relationship come off as being genuinely close, with her calling him J.L. when no one else would dare, but I wasn't really feeling it. Maybe other readers will.
You meet Kirsten Clancy (the admiral who keeps cussing at Picard in the TV show), but she's a captain at this time.
Geordi La Forge is in it. Picard reassigns him from the Enterprise to Mars, to head-up the rescue fleet building operations at Utopia Planetia.
Maddox is in the book extensively. He's the reason the synths used on Mars exist. Geordi tasks him with designing them because of a labor shortage. Yup, replicator technology aside, the book claims there are some things that just have to be done by hand, so Geordi needs lots of hands, and Maddox gives them to him in the form of a new kind of synthetic laborer.
You meet Aggie (which is what Maddox calls her, and what I'm apparently used to now) as a grad student who is a bit obsessed with Maddox and his ideas about synthetic life. Of course they hook up and carry on a relationship throughout the book. She works with him and encourages him to keep advancing his work.
You meet a few Romulans, and get detailed accounts of how the evacuation proceeds. The Romulan government basically blows at carrying it out effectively. Secretive, authoritarian, that kind of stuff. They make things much worse than they have to be. Lying to the people, playing the situation down, acting as if nothing was wrong at all.
You meet Zani and the Qowat Milat, with their ways of Absolute Candor. Elnor is there as a boy, too. Fortunately for them, Picard relocates them to one of the better worlds (unbeknownst to most people at the time, other refugees are not so lucky, per the Romulan government's pitiful shortcomings).
The mission goes on for years. Raffi is away from home for all of it, and gradually loses her family because of it.
The synth uprising on Mars happens before the rescue fleet is finished, though there's not much more information about it in the book than there is in the TV show. They don't explain what causes it (probably leaving that for the TV show), but Maddox is blamed (they were his synths, after all), and synthetics are banned, so he leaves Earth to carry on his work in secret.
Picard comes up with a new plan to continue the evacuation, but there is no support for it in Starfleet or the Federation. Many worlds are pissed that so many resources have gone to such a wasted effort, when they had to sacrifice for so long to provide them. Some threaten to secede from the Federation if the mission doesn't end.
Picard, of course, still wants to continue the mission, telling Starfleet to accept his new plan or his resignation, just like he does in the TV show. You know how that turns out. He's rebuffed, leaves Starfleet, and retires to his family's old estate. Millions of Romulans are left in harm's way.
The Romulan star eventually explodes, but not a lot of detail is given about the actual event or the immediate aftermath, and that's pretty much where the book leaves you. Several years later the TV show begins.
I won't say the book is great, but it is certainly good, and chock-full of backstory for the TV show. Anyone enjoying the TV show will find it entertaining, and well worth reading while waiting for season 2.

Note : Due to how polls work here on NT (no option for multiple choices), the process of elimination has changed.
I thought it would be fun to have members of the new Star Trek group (as well as interested mods who can't join for platform software reasons) participate in choosing the group logo. You know, the little image that gets slapped onto the lower right corner of group article images on the front page.
The one there now is just a temporary choice I made to start the group with.
I have a three step process in mind. 
1) A logo roundup -- Members and interested mods can search online for Star Trek images they think would make for a good logo. Free wallpaper sites are great hunting grounds. You can certainly edit out parts of larger images if you want (which is what I did). You can even make your own from scratch if you're really creative.
2) An elimination round -- After several days I will create a poll article with all of the logo submissions that have been posted here. The top 2 images (with the most votes in the poll) will advance.
3) The final round -- I'll create a final poll for the 2 most popular images from the elimination round. The winner will be the Star Trek group's logo.
This article will serve as the first round, the logo roundup. 
Interested members should post their logo image submissions below.
Everyone's invited. Well, all group members and mods, that is. If you're not yet a member, then by all means go to the main group page and join.
I'll post my own offerings here to get the ball rolling. I put them into a collage to make them easier to post all at once, but nobody else should do that. I need individual images, please.
This could be fun.

Just a quick FYI.
If you're a fan of any Star Trek show or film, then be sure to pop over to the new group and join.
If you'd like to migrate any Trek-related articles or seeds over, then please feel free to do so, though I just discovered that migrating seems to wipe out an article's up votes for some reason.
Anyway, there it is.
Live long and prosper.
