‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
That, in a nutshell, is my point.
Which isn't a bad or good thing.
I didn't care for the first two episodes of this season. One a serious episode and one a comic one. Both are at the bottom the list because they weren’t as good as the others. The next two were a vast improvement.
SNW is about playing with genre. It usually does it quite well.

Even though I hated eps 2 and 4 of this season, I agree with you on this.
Before now I had only one true stinker on my personal list, so it's been alarming to add two more within two weeks.
But one could argue SNW's genre-hopping the way it does is its identity. A distinction that is a counter argument to accusations of stagnation or franchise fatigue. I dont the believe the latter is a thing personally.
It's been batting a little above .500 for me. There are a couple of episodes each season I'll skip.
I appreciate the show is playing with genre and form. It's the execution that sometimes doesn't quite pass muster. However, I'm not insane, so I'm not gonna hold that against the rest of the series.
Episode 304 didn't completely work for me, so I shrug and welcome the next episode and the one after that. Keep 'em coming for the next two-and-a-half seasons! A mixed bag is a Trek tradition, after all.
There will never be another DS9. There may be dozens of reasons why it did X, Y, or Z better than all the contemporary series. Since there is no way to go back now, Strange New Worlds deserves to be loved or hated on its own merits.
Where fun goes to dieDon't you know? This is Star Trek, Fun has no place in this franchise.

i wonder if there will be a spinoff series after season 5 when spock scotty and uhruna joins james tiberius kirk on its 5 year mission and they meet sulu checkov and doc
Already exists. It’s called Star Trek
oh yah but what if they rebooted the original series as the spinoff sequel to strange new worlds
Then why bother ending SNW after 5 seasons in the first place?
They're not going to.
5 year mission with captain pike i guess
im just saying what if
No.
Cost, the bursting of the streaming bubble, and new management having different priorities are why.
Fair enough. Ep 3 was very average but okay for me. Ep 4 was one of the worst episodes of Star Trek I've every seen. Up there with Threshold. I just found it boring, repetitive and so far out of character. I honestly thought that they were still in the Holodeck at the end of the episode it seemed so nuts. SNW does have different episodes that appeal to different people though. I thought that Charades was one of the funniest episodes of Start Trek I've ever watched and plenty of people hated it.
Aren't they hoping to do this idea? Star Trek: Year One is meant to follow Kirk's first year. The Sehlat that Ate It's Tail was the backdoor pilot so we can see who will be in it.
No, it’s not a backdoor pilot.
