Star Trek: Strange New Worlds faced a difficult challenge from the beginning. As a prequel series based on Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's original pilot, "The Cage," SNW has had the Herculean task of honoring the 1960s original series while somehow presenting a fresh take on the well-established franchise. Yet, from the start, it's succeeded with an episodic approach while maintaining overarching narratives. In Season 2, Strange New Worlds has added another element which, while a bit of a gamble, has made it an even more entertaining and compelling watch.
