STRANGE NEW WORLDS: the best episode yet, boy band Klingons, and a cliffhanger

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds wraps up its second season this week with three strong episodes. The dreaded musical episode was actually executed well and in a manner consistent with the tone of the franchise and, even better, we were treated to the best episode of this show yet, Under the Cloak of War. The Gorn might be boring as an adversary with few original traits to make them stand out among science fiction antagonists, but we're hopeful that next season will close out their arc and introduce some fresh concepts. We give our final ratings for a Star Trek season that began disastrously and ended strong, while recognizing and celebrating Strange New Worlds' willingness to take risks.
