Strange New Worlds S4E01–02: Valles Marineris & The Griffin Incident

Pike’s crew is back in action with the fourth season of Strange New Worlds. The first two episodes take the team to unexpected places, from Jurassic Park to a ghost ship. The first episode features a stunning performance by Saffron Burrows as Battle Commander Cassell, a tragic, empathetic wartime character; while the second episode makes it hard to see the character analysis of Spock, Kirk, and La’An, through all the body horror. We appreciate the different genres that Star Trek can encompass, but maybe some are best left in the writing room.

Commander Jarrod Kailef marks his maiden voyage on Transporter Lock, bringing decades of Star Trek insights to the bridge and helping to spot potential crossovers with the Transformers, Doctor Who, and Land of the Lost.
