Kirk brings the crew to a spot he visited before, but he expected paradise -- not a private little war! This is an uneven-but-fun episode to talk about, maman!

They finally told an original story, maman -- or they started to before they were "inspired" by an episode of The Next Generation and did that instead. Alright, fine.

Divert power to cliché, snarky one-liners, maman! Even in the face of death, and with no one listening, it's time to get in an old yuk-yuk! But ain't nobody laughing at the end, maman. It goes from tragic story to a tragic couple of missteps in franchise continuity! What are they doing, maman? Episode Reviewed: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x09 - "Terrarium" Hosts:David C.

Yes, we watched it, maman. We saw "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans." Our tears are bitter, maman. Our souls are thin as to be wisped away by a wayward zephyr. We weep for our bodies are malnourished; our spirits are distressed. It is a dark age, maman. We require a bonfire of the inanities.Episode Reviewed: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x08 - "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" Hosts:David C.

Beto’s been filming on the Enterprise for weeks, maman - and the fruit of his labor is “What is Starfleet?” There were other things to talk about, maman. Starfleet probably didn't declassify that ish, maman. We’re talking about Strange New Worlds 3x07 - “What is Starfleet?” as well as a little bit of news about who Paramount has put in charge of programming at Paramount +!Episode Reviewed: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x07 - "What is Starfleet?" Hosts:David C.
