Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (season 3)
{5/5} “Captain, we’re going to need a bigger landing party.”
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, aired in 2025
Captain Pike tries to rescue crew members who have been beamed aboard a Gorn ship — meanwhile La’an and the others try to escape on their own. When Christine returns to the Enterprise after 3 months, Spock is stunned to find that she has a new boyfriend — Dr. Roger Korby. When La’an tests the new holodeck technology, she’s involved in a murder mystery where the characters are actors in a science fiction TV show.
The Gorn and zombie episodes were a bit more gruesome than they needed to be — other than that, it’s a wonderful season.
In “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” James T. Kirk becomes acting captain of the Farragut when its captain is injured. In “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” Pike, Uhura, La’an, and Chapel become Vulcan for a mission but then they decide it’s logical to stay that way. In “Terrarium” Ortegas goes through a wormhole, crashes on a moon, and ends up facing her greatest enemy — a Gorn.
The season finale was startling. It covered a lot of ground, but didn’t feel rushed. If it needed to be the series finale, it would have served well.
Guest stars include Rhys Darby and Patton Oswalt. Adrian Holmes guest stars as Robert April.
Stars Christina Chong, Melissa Navia, and Celia Rose Gooding.
I previously reviewed season 2.
