'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Fourth Season Takes Big Swings

The collaboration will bring a puppet episode to the show’s fourth season, joining more genre-bending installments, according to the announcement.

  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has teamed up with Jim Henson Studios for a puppet episode, aligning with the fourth season's mission to take creative risks with its format.
  • The sixth episode ranks among the best across Trek's six-decade history, offering an utterly charming experience despite the season remaining uneven in overall quality.
  • Coexisting with the Muppet-y whimsy is the heavy gore emblematic of the Kurtzman-era. The episode includes a hat tip to Burnistoun, a nod included by actor Martin Quinn.
  • Critics feel the creative team has sidelined Anson Mount, the show's lead, in favor of Paul Wesley's Jim Kirk, whose repeated presence remains contentious.
  • It may be years before viewers get to spend more time in this part of the future, unless final episodes deviate from established seasonal trends.
