Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Three Teaser
You can only get so much from a one-minute teaser, but hey! First glimpse of season three!
Okay, sure, first impressions are pretty good, and we have two strong seasons to build off of, so I’m inclined to trust them.
But….
- I’m still not really sold on the whole Gorn thing, and they’ve yet to do anything to explain why and how the Gorn were so unknown in TOS’s “Arena” if Starfleet had had this much contact with them before that time.
-
A holodeck episode? TNG’s “Encounter at Farpoint” established pretty well that this was new tech that everyone was amazed by. But here we appear to have the full interactive holodeck experience, complete with yellow-gridded black box room. Can they really not come up with any other way to tell similar stories?
We’ll find out this summer.
