This is a good and proper bit of plain and simple Star Trek: No courtroom, no time travel, and no finale to start out the season. This is simply a test of humanity and a highlight of what happens when we lose ourselves. This…

If he can’t shag his way across space, let him do it through time instead. This is another episode with Onitra Johnson listed as staff writer, plus David Reed who is best known for the likes of The Boys, The Magicians, and a…

Lt Grissom, White, and Chaffee are the three men you’d probably never think of but unless you are from Kansas or know Latin. They are best associated with the loose translation of Ad Astra Per Aspera. For them, it is “A rough…

Carol Kane is like Kris Kringle, if you don’t love or believe in her, you are on the naughty list. This episode has the exact same creative team as “A Quality of Mercy,” though with a little help from Onitra Johnson from…

This is the first Strange New Worlds episode with two returning writers, Bill Wolkoff of “Ghosts of Illyria,” and Robin Wasserman with “Spock Amok.” The two are joined by Arrowverse director Andi Armaganian, who also did some work with Discovery, but those are seasons 4…

Think of an awkward comedian, like David O’Doherty. Now spread that out like nails on a chalkboard for an hour. Only then do I think you’ve got Henry Alonso Myers & Robin Wasserman’s “Spock Amok.” Directed by Rachel Leiterman, the mostly second…
