    Strange New Worlds "Terrarium" Mini-Review: Half-Savage, Full of Heart

    In this review of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Episode 9, "Terrarium," we explore a classic Star Trek-inspired narrative that deeply challenges our understanding of survival as Ortegas faces being stranded with a Gorn. We delve into Ortegas's surprising bond with the Gorn, Uhura's critical yet controversial decisions, the Metrons' appearance and their assessment of humanity, and numerous Trekkie easter eggs including references to Captain Matt Decker. As a spiritual remake and prequel to "Arena," "Terrarium" delivers the heart and understanding synonymous with Star Trek while maintaining its unique identity. #Terrarium #TheEnemy #Darmok #Arena #Dawn

Discover why the episode's attempt at humor and dramatic tension fell flat, and whether its Trekkie nods truly saved it from being excised from the catalog. #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrek #FourAndAHalfVulcans
