Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 comes to an end with Episode 10, “Tomorrow’s Enterprise.” Has the series finally found its way back to Star Trek? Craig is flying solo for Making It So Episode 56 after severe storms in the United States left Steve without power. Before getting into the episode, a huge thank you to everyone who follows, watches and listens to Geek In Camo — and particularly to our Patreon supporters, whose support directly helps keep these shows going. This week Craig breaks down the Strange New Worlds Season 4 finale scene by scene. Uhura encounters a mysterious signal coming from a white hole and discovers she is communicating with another version of herself one year in the future. That future gives us one of the most exciting glimpses yet of where Strange New Worlds is heading: James T. Kirk is Captain of the Enterprise, Uhura and Scotty are together, Ortegas has moved on, McCoy is waiting in the wings, M’Benga is spending more time on Vulcan — and something appears to have happened to La’an. The temporal mystery eventually connects a white hole in the present to a black hole in the future and introduces the mysterious Midwives, beings that experience time very differently from humans. And that raises another question: Could these black-hole and white-hole aliens somehow be related to the Prophets — the wormhole aliens from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Both appear to exist outside our normal understanding of linear time, so Craig looks at the similarities and asks whether Strange New Worlds may be hinting at a wider connection — or simply exploring a similar Star Trek concept. There’s also the small matter of an enormous interdimensional space baby. But underneath the stranger elements, Craig argues that “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” succeeds because the science-fiction story actually drives the episode. The Enterprise encounters something unknown, the crew investigates it, communication ultimately solves the crisis, and Uhura saves the day by being exceptionally good at her actual job. Craig gives “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” 8.5/10, placing it among his strongest episodes of Season 4, although “Orders of Magnitude” remains his favourite at 9/10.
