On this episode of Trek Watch, we’re diving into the highs and lows of the current Star Trek landscape. First, we tip our hats to Strange New Worlds for delivering a surprisingly fun and freaky zombie episode—proving once again that Trek can still get weird in the best ways.
But it’s not all warp core breezes: we’re scratching our heads at that baffling Season 4 teaser, where Captain Pike is… a puppet? Yep, that happened. And we’re not thrilled. Add to that a Starfleet Academy trailer that feels more CW teen drama than classic Trek, and we’ve got some honest frustrations to beam up. It’s a mix of praise and protest this week as we talk tone, direction, and what the franchise needs to stay boldly on course.
