'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' is a lot like the original, with vastly better special effects.
Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Melissa Navia as Ortegas, Ethan Peck as Spock, Bruce Horak as Hemmer, Anson Mount as Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Una, Jess Bush as Chapel, Christina Chong as La’an and Babs Olusanmokun as M’Benga in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds."I am totally sick of alleged “Star Trek” fans who do nothing but complain about the new series.
Having said all that — and at the risk of sounding hypocritical — “Strange New Worlds” looks like the best of the five “Trek” series we’ve gotten since 2017. It’s also the most similar to the older bunch. It is, in many ways, the original series with vastly better special effects. , and a lot of people — including yours truly — called for a new series featuring Pike/Mount and the Enterprise. “The fan reaction has been unlike anything I’ve experienced in my career,” Mount said. “To get that kind of feedback is both surprising and deeply encouraging.”
“Our show speaks to the final frontier when it was really in its infancy,” said Kurtzman, pointing to a “sense of nostalgia that very much permeates the show: The sense of hope, the sense of optimism, the sense of exploration, and the spirit of adventure.”The crew of this Enterprise also recasts three roles we first saw in the original series — Jess Bush as nurse Christine Chapel; Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura; and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M’Benga, who appeared in two TOS episodes.
I have to admit that I’ve got some questions about whether canon is being violated in regard to the lizard-like Gorn in “Strange New Worlds,” but that didn’t make the Gorn-heavy Episode 4 any less enjoyable.
