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+.
