New Cast Welcomes Aboard for Season 5 of Strange New Worlds

As the media hype is starting to ramp up for Academy's debut, Strange New Worlds is adding the finishing touches and along with cast such as Anson Mount saying goodbye to their Enterprise, we have some new names announced to have joined for the final season. Acting as a prequel to the original series, Strange New Worlds has helped to expand legacy characters having brought over Ethan Peck's younger and less refined version of Spock, the first career steps of Nyota Uhura, a completely revamped Christine Chapel and smaller parts – such as Dr M'BEnga, Samuel Kirk and T'Pring among others – being revived for the new era. Since then we've also spent some time with a young Jim Kirk, even seeing his first time in command last season, and Scotty's joined the lower decks of Engineering. As the show […]

[Retro Review] Endgame; Voyager Season 7 Finale

Voyager's first episode set the mission to get the lost ship back to Earth. In the serie's final episode, it would be somewhat of a let down if they just left the crew in the middle of nowhere. Even then the ending seemed like an obvious one and with it all being telegraphed 170 episodes before, the fun wasn't about if they got home, but how... Kicking off with a celebration, we skip to the end with a reunion celebrating the tenth anniversary of Voyagers return to Earth. Sixteen years after the previous episode, Voyager found it's way home. And now twenty six years into the future from our viewer perspective, we get a bit of a catch up with the former crew. Harry finally got promoted and is now a Captain. Paris and Torres have a daughter, Miral, who's […]

[Retro Review] Meld: Voyager Season 2, Episode 16

Solving a murder mystery is easy when the killer nonchalantly confirms the allegation. But when your lead investigator is a Vulcan who's live is based on logic, and your killer just casually murdered someone without a care in the world, you can't just walk away without understanding the lack of motive... I've always loved it when a show pulls back and just creates a bottle inside it's own sets. No space adventure, no travelling to other planets. Just the characters trapped inside the bulkheads with a problem to solve. There's a time for spectacle, and then there's a time for an episode like Meld when after a few dodgy episodes you just need to keep things simple and effective. Brad Dourif was also wondeful as Suder. But a calm, collected and quiet sociopath and Brad Dourif goes hand in hand. […]

[Retro Review] The Thaw: Voyager Season 2, Episode 23

On another distraction from flying in a straight line back to Earth, Voyager finds a world thats been wiped out by natural disaster. But there are survivors; a small group cryogenically frozen in a controlled system designed to wake them up when the coast was clear. Nineteen years later, they're trapped, asleep within the machine... Four years past their scheduled release date, there's been no breakdown, no malfunction. Yet five of the inhabitants are dead, the rest all very much alive and locked into a computer stimulation keeping them in a dream-world state. Bringing them on board the ship, Janeway is told that they can't just switch the machine off as it'll cause irreversible brain damage. But just like dialling into the Matrix, Voyager can plug into the redundant status chambers and hack their way in to talk to the […]

All You Need Is Love; New Life and New Civilisations. Strange New Worlds S3E9 Review

Following from Through the Lens of Time, Dr Korby is following the trail of the Vezda all the way to Skygowan; a world that worships the evil aliens found buried in a hidden temple. But the Vezda Scotty captured in the transporter buffer after possessing Ensign Gamble survived, escaped and is now fully reconstructed leading the planet and about to unleash hell throughout the galaxy. And of course, it's up to the Enterprise to find out how, why and chase down the demon to save the day. Writers:Dana Horgan & Davy Perez Director:Marja Vrvilo   There's something quite nice about the idea of this episode. Strange New Worlds has leaned on retelling the 23rd century era for a lot of it's main hooks, whether that be revisiting the Gorn, Vulcan romance or going to the length of an alternate history […]
