the streamer has announced that it’s set a rough end date for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the only currently active Trek show on the roster. Admittedly, though, it’s a pretty distant endpoint: The series, which is set to release its third season starting in July, will now officially terminate with its fifth.

The simple existence of said fifth season was actually part of the announcement today, with the streamer revealing that the series has now officially been renewed for six episodes beyond its current four-season order. But those six episodes will bring the story of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew (which includes numerous characters pulled from the original Star Trek, notably Ethan Peck as a young version of Spock) to a close. Credit to the streamer: As with the animated Lower Decks, which ended last December, Paramount+ is giving Strange New Worlds plenty of runway to bring its version of space exploration to a close.

Late to the party but definitely watch TNG but skip the Troi episodes. She's not redeemable until DS9 lol

Hopefully they continue with a spin off, with Krik and the OG team. We know Pikes time was originally "limited", but that could have changed.

With the caveat that Strange New Worlds is probably, by far, one of my favorite shows in the last 15-20 years, I have to say...

Spoiler: show

I actively hated the first episode of season 3. It was badly written, badly acted, and badly edited. Felt like I was watching the wrong show. Thankfully episode 2, although a bit silly, was miles better.

Nothing like doing the Riker Maneuver on the episode Frakes directed lol

Last week's episode being a horror episode and this week's effectively being The Hangover, we're off to an interesting start to the seaosn

This episode made me chuckle more than a few times. One of the best/stupidest concepts I've seen in ages. Well done. This season is so unhinged.

[Qalbert]

Divisive too, seen a lot of bitching. Havent seen the episode yet, but to be fair the season has been heavy on the gimmick episodes so far.

[Krandor]

I loved it. Quite stupid and the choice of guests definitely added to the silliness.

My biggest gripe continues to be that with such short seasons, having so many gimmick episodes really takes a toll on the overall structure of the show. I didn't particularly like this episode... and that's ok... but knowing how few episodes remain really does make it feel more substantial than it actually is.

I think this might be an entire gimmick season lol

[Krandor]

4 of the 5 episodes so far this season have had a gimmick, so seems like a reasonable assumption

You could argue all 5 were lol

Last week was fairly light on the gimmicks, but we're right back to it with these week's episode
