  Strange New Worlds Season 4 Review with Ellie Littlechild: Did the Risks Pay Off?

  Oct 2, 20261h 37mS1

  Did Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 push the boundaries in the right direction — or let its genre experiments overshadow the stories? Ellie Littlechild from TrekCulture and WhoCulture joins Mike and Jodi for a full-season review, and we don’t all agree! From puppets and prehistoric adventures to horror, soap opera and fairy tales, we break down all ten episodes and debate whether the character development justified the risks.

  Strange New Worlds S4 Finale: Uhura Shines—But Is It Enough?

  Sep 25, 202630 minS1

  Two Enterprises. Two Uhuras. One year apart. Does “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” give Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 the finale it deserves? Mike and Jodi return to Ten Forward for a full-spoiler review of Season 4, Episode 10—and a look back at the season as a whole. Celia Rose Gooding’s performance gives us plenty to celebrate as Uhura encounters her future self, confronts her doubts, and discovers what it might mean to stop putting life on hold. Add Scotty, an unexpected relationship, and a time-travel adventure, and there’s plenty to unpack. But while we agree there’s a lot to love, we don’t quite agree on whether this is the right way to end the season.

  Strange New Worlds S4E9 Review: Pelia Deserved Better

  Sep 18, 202624 minS1

  Did Pelia and La’an deserve better? Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episode 9 returns to the fantasy world of The Elysium Kingdom—but Mike and Jodi question whether its character resolutions feel earned. In this spoiler-filled Ten Forward review, we discuss Pelia’s decision to stay behind, the missing farewell with Scotty and why La’an’s journey towards self-acceptance feels rushed after seasons of development. Mike calls this his least favourite episode of the season and awards it 2/10. Jodi, who enjoyed the original Elysium Kingdom episode, finds this return forced and predictable, giving it 5.5/10. We discuss: • Pelia’s departure and the goodbye we wanted to see • La’an’s two contrasting selves and the resolution of her internal conflict • Carol Kane’s one-liners, Christina Chong’s dual performance and Celia Rose Gooding’s villainous turn • The Benny Russell reference, the Enterprise doppelgangers and Runa’s touching final moments • Our playful Lower Decks theory connecting Pelia and Billups—headcanon, not confirmed canon There are performances and moments worth celebrating, but did the episode try to wrap up too much at once?

  Strange New Worlds S4E8 Review: Classic Trek Is Back

  Sep 11, 202630 minS1

  A rogue admiral, a stranded away team and orders that deserve to be questioned: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S4E8, “Orders of Magnitude,” brings back the classic Trek ingredients Mike wanted. In this spoiler-filled Ten Forward review, Mike and Jodi discuss Kirk’s growing confidence as a leader, Uhura’s standout rescue mission and why a familiar premise can still deliver compelling character development. While Kirk challenges authority aboard the Enterprise, Uhura takes charge in the caves. Their parallel stories explore the difference between following orders and trusting yourself to do what’s right.
