Last summer, I finally watched the original Star Trek, much to the excitement of my Trekkie friends, who were tired of my Star Wars jokes. I need to rewatch it so I can stop making relevant Star Trek jokes.
Anyway, one of the things that interested me most about Star Trek was Captain Pike. Why had I not heard about him before I watched the pilot? I wanted to know his backstory.
Then my friend told me that Paramount+ was telling his and the Enterprise’s story in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it is the best spinoff to come from the Mothership. After watching the first two seasons, I agreed with them.
What other show can say they did a crossover event with the animated show Star Trek: Lower Decks, and it was mind-blowingly amazing!
Ever since I finished watching the first two seasons, I have been anxiously waiting for the third season. Today, Paramount+ released a teaser, and this summer cannot come soon enough.
In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn. But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved, to new heights and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy and mystery with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.
The first two seasons of SNW, along with all the other Star Trek shows and movies, are streaming on Paramount+.
Star Trek is one of the most beloved shows in television history. So much so that the OG series has spun off eleven series and four movies.
Therefore, if given a chance, a Trekkie would love to own a piece from the franchise. And guess what? Now, they have an opportunity to do just that.
Julien’s is auctioning off 239 props, costumes, and production materials from the first series all the way to Picard and everything in between on November 9th at 10a PST.
You can own things like Captain Kirk’s costume, a USS Enterprise Bridge Chair, Spock’s robe, and so much more!
As a new Trekkie, I want to bid on something. I just don’t know what. What do you want to add to your collection?
Before Joan Collins was a rich bitch on Dynasty, she helped the less fortunate on Star Trek. She looks the same now as she did when she was 33 in that beautiful 1967 episode.
The good news is that Paramount+ picked up Star Trek: Strange Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks for another season. The bad news is it will be the animated show’s last season.
“It has been incredibly rewarding to continue to build the STAR TREK universe, and we’re so grateful to Secret Hideout and our immensely talented casts and producers,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS has found the perfect blend of action, adventure and humor, and we’re elated to announce another season ahead of our season three premiere. Similarly, STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS has brought the laughs with an ample amount of heart to the franchise across its four seasons. We can’t wait for audiences to see what is in store for the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos in this final season.”
I hope Lower Decks ends with Moopsy eating everyone! Long live Moopsy!
Ethan Peck is starring in Star Trek: Strange Worlds with Rebecca Romijn, who is married to Jerry O’Connell. And now her worlds have collided because the men in her life have collided. Not only that, they are wearing the same “couch” shirt.
Hopefully, Mrs. O’Connell will be able to tell them apart. Because is kind of hard.
