Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
401: Valles Marineris 2026 July 23
(First watched 2026-07-31) Big serious as well as big crazy... that's kind of the Strange New Worlds sweet spot.
A clear winking Doctor Who reference near the beginning of the episode, then an especially timey wimey Star Trek time travel episode. Investigating what turns out to be their own emergency beacon, they get shot back to the past and involved with ancient Martians, as part of a big bootstrap paradox that sets the Solar system up for humanity's eventual arrival.
They didn't dwell on it for long, but La'An says she's been feeling differently and wonders if her augment genes have been activated. I'm sure we'll be coming back to that.
Something else I wanted to nitpick about the time travel. When they realized they were on past Earth, it became a rule that they couldn't kill anything so as not to affect the future. But... that ship has kind of sailed. Could killing a dinosaur change the future completely? Sure. So could stunning it. So could waving hello to it.
