Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Review

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back with a bang, and fans are loving it! After a two-year hiatus, the show returned to Paramount+ with a stellar Season 3 that is jam-packed with adventures, charm, and a whole lot of heart. Fans of the Star Trek franchise have been treated to a variety of series over the past few years, but now, Strange New Worlds stands as the sole survivor in the lineup. And let me tell you, it’s more than holding its own.

For those who may not be familiar, Strange New Worlds follows Captain Pike and his crew on the USS Enterprise before the days of Captain Kirk. This latest season picks up where the last one left off, with the crew embarking on new interstellar escapades. From comedic moments with our favorite Vulcan to ties to The Next Generation, there’s something here for every type of fan.

One of the reasons why this season is hitting all the right notes is the perfect balance it strikes between episodic and serialized storytelling. Each episode feels like a standalone adventure while still contributing to the overall character arcs of the season. And let’s not forget about Spock – his character development is top-notch, and Ethan Peck absolutely nails the role.

While Season 3 may not reach the heights of some of the best episodes from previous seasons, it still offers a solid mix of genre thrills and great performances. From nights with the living dead to solving interdimensional puzzles, the adventures are varied and exciting. And the production value? It’s top of the line.

Overall, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds continues to excel at bringing the Star Trek universe to life in a modern era. With its mix of episodic storytelling and overarching character development, it strikes just the right balance. While I wish we didn’t have to wait so long between seasons, the wait is always worth it. So buckle up and get ready to boldly go where no one has gone before with Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!
