Spoilers For "Starwater Trails: Strange New Worlds" follow.

When was the last time we left the crew of the Arseven company in "Starwater Trails: Strange New Worlds" Season 2 Finals, "Hegemony", " Things didn't go too well. The wicked alien Gorne kidnapped half of the bridge crew. The war between Starflit and Gornne risked warming up. Captain of Captain Pique (Anson Mount) Captain Marie Batel (Melanie Sekrophano) was infected with Gornn Hachlings. Pique himself was paralyzed by indecision because the ships of Gornj went down to the company; Admiral April (Adrian Holmes) called the company back to the fleet, leaving them no time to save its shipyard. Second in the ship's command, Una-Rhaili (Rebecca Romine), called for orders from the helm, but Pique did not give them.

As a daunting place as we should have left the season 2 "Strange New Worlds", we should know that the crew of the company would climb to work. Pique's silent freezing was just a break, not a malfunction. Pike drags a classic Starflit trick: Respect the orders, but not the letter. Since April has not returned them right awayThe company remains long enough to plant a beacon to track the ship Gorn (masked with a DUV torpedo) and Then He flies. Therefore, the multiple threads of the episode are tied to a fairly pure victory for the good guys.

Newcomer Skoti (Martin Quinn) And his old Engineering Professor Pelia (Carol Caine) has flogged a pseudo-lock device to get the company to appear as Gornn's own ship on Gornn's own sensors, allowing Pique and Company to follow the Gornj ship marking it.

Una and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) follow the data on Gorn Activity and conclude that they have a template for the behavior of aggression/hibernation, examined for solar flame activity. So, the company flies between two binary stars marking the way to Gornn Homorm. With engineering magic, they cause specific radiation radiation to encourage the Gorn Fleet to return home and hibernate. This trick is doing the job Only Before the radiation, he will take off his company and its team out of repair.

On the aforementioned Gornt Brod, Laan Nonien-Sing (Christina Jong) breaks down and runs other captives of the characters-D. Even wounded, Ortegas manages to pilot Borec Gorn. They arrive at the company just like the solar flair Gambit pays off and transported to the ship.

Christine Capel (Ess Bush) and Spack (Ethan Peck) left the drama of relations aside to strive for Bethel. Their treatment options are also limited to a narrow period, as it is (in) suitable allergic to cryos sleeping drugs. They eventually settle for a treatment that essentially tormented Gorn Heashlings not to appear, Xenomorph Crastester in "alien"-stil; This is the echo of a larger strategy for sending the Gorn of the sleeping fleet.

The Cliffhanger End of Season 2 of "Strange New Worlds" was a homage At one of the most important episodes of Trek so far: "The best of the two worlds", the final of the 3/Season 4 premiere of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". That episode ends with the captain Jeanan-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) assimilated by the "Alien Basket", Borg. As "Lokus", Picard will act to help facilitate the assimilation of the federation in Borg.

The Enterprise-D command falls on Will Reeker (Athonatan Freyks), who must save Picard and prevent the unstoppable Borg from overcoming the federation. They succeed; Data on the crew member of Android (Brent Spiner) are Locutus interfaces (allowing Picard to exceed reprogramming) and thus the entire Borg collective. Picard gives the data the answer: "sleep", which data understands means to encourage Borg to be powered. Their cube of self -destruction in the orbit of the Earth and the disaster is closely avoided.

"The best of both worlds" is a great episode, but part of what he did so unforgettable was how fans had to wait months to see the story resolved. You can't repeat that experience now, but "Star Trek" was constantly trying. Each subsequent "next generation" finals ended at Clifancher to be resolved in the next season premiere. The future "Star Trek" shows Voyager and Enterprise, also greatly structured their seasonal finals and prime ministers in this way.

I understand that "hegemony" relied on "the best of both worlds", but in "Part II", it feels like it can rely Also hard. The resolution is True Just like the "best of both worlds", ie. The company that sends the enemy to sleep. Canon "Trek" means that the war in Gorn cannot erupt, But this neat ending proves that Star Trek is still trying to regain the magic of "the best of both worlds".

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is transferred to Paramount+. New episodes of the announcement of season 3 on Thursday.
