Some guy on Facebook made the above banner. Sadly, I cut off the watermark to fit the screen. My apologies.
Anyway, it was recently announced that Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fifth and final season… and will only be six episodes long. How many of those will be dedicated to silly gimmick episodes and making Spock look like a stooge because we don’t know good comedy or storytelling?
I have mixed feelings about this. Obviously, the fact that they’re ending it on five seasons is not much of a surprise; that seems to be the magic number with these things nowadays. I miss the days when Trek shows lasted seven seasons and each season had about 26 episodes a piece. That gave you more than enough room to do both the serious world and character building stuff to go along with the silly stuff.
Six episodes, though? Those had better be some amazing episodes for a final season… maybe give us an episode where Captain Pike’s hair grows so tall and stiff at an exponential rate it shatters the fabric of space-time. Or, hell, do a remake of Spock’s Brain. All the Spock episodes on this show seem like they were written by the same people shouting “Brain and brain! What is Brain?”
Still, Trekkies should be happy that the 23rd century retread is over and we can move on to new ideas and new concepts. Going forward, as they say…

NO! WE DON’T WANT THAT TRASH! WHERE’S STAR TREK LEGACY, YOU HACK FRAUDS?!
That sounds about right, yeah?
Strange New World’s third season premieres next month.
