The makers of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" must, at times, feel stymied. The series is set on the U.S.S. Enterprise about five years prior to the events of the original 1966 "Star Trek" series, meaning that, by necessity, it can only last five years tops. The series also features Spock (Ethan Peck) and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), so nothing terribly dramatic and life-altering can happen to them that would interrupt their transition to a continuity that has been entrenched in Trekkies' minds for 57 years. Indeed, when this version of the Enterprise first appeared on "Star Trek: Discovery," it was equipped with holographic communication technology which it most certainly did not have in the 1966 series. The writers had to cover up the technological gaffe by having Captain Pike (Anson Mount) insist the holograms be uninstalled. He merely didn't like them.

When we last saw Rebecca Romijn's Number One, Captain Pike's trusty second-in-command in "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," the character was being hauled off by officials for failing to disclose she is Ilyrian. Romijn is a key part of the new Enterprise crew, so it was a relief when the first trailer for "Strange New Worlds" season 2 showed her right back where she belonged: on the starship that will one day be captained by James Kirk himself.
The trailer for the new season is delightful, with hints of the show's signature humor and chemistry and a great speech by Number One herself about the beauty of the Enterprise's diverse, galaxy-spanning crew and their unique journeys. It should come as little surprise, then, that season 2 of the show is set to explore Number One's journey in greater detail, with an episode focused on her backstory.

This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3.
In the very first filmed episode of Star Trek: The Original Series — “The Cage” — Captain Pike drinks itty-bitty martinis with the Enterprise’s chief physician, Dr. Boyce (John Hoyt.) And although it remains to be seen if we’ll be seeing Boyce in Stranger New Worlds, the tradition of the cranky — but wise — Starfleet doctor was started right there. After Boyce and Piper, Star Trek set the standard for cranky, wise-cracking doctors in space with the introduction of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy; as played by the wonderful DeForest Kelley.
While Kelley passed away in 1999, the spirit of Bones lives on. Not just in the Karl Urban version of Bones in the reboot films, but also in the foul-mouthed, utterly hilarious Caitian medical officer, Dr. T’ana (Gillian Vigman) on Star Trek: Lower Decks. In the most recent episode of Lower Decks,...
