Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Leans Into What Worked In Season 2
Vulcan comedy has become a Strange New Worlds tradition
Star Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3’s first-look clip released at Comic-Con shows that the series is leaning into what has worked in prior seasons:mixing episodic stories with serialized arcs for the USS Enterprise’s characters. And also, comedy, as evidenced byCaptain Pike and his crew turned into Vulcans. Executive producer Akiva Goldsman explainedStrange New Worlds' writing philosophy toScreen Rant:
We’re always trying big swings. One thing that I can say about Henry and myself: We are real Star Trek fans, and the cast has a deep love of Star Trek. And so, we’re sort of our own proving ground. If we don’t look at each other and go, ‘Oh God!’ then it’s not worth doing. But if it’s too much, we can sort of push each other back. So it’s a really wonderful process. It’s really a collaborative art - oxymoronic as that sounds. And I think the show really… I think you see that it gains from this desire to explore strange new genres.
Star Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3’s Vulcan farce is the third comedy episode in as many seasons involving Spock’s pointy-eared people,and it’s the second directed by Jordan Canning, who also helmed the Vulcan comedy of mannersStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 2, episode 5, “Charades”. However, this Vulcan comedy clip is just one of multiple genres fans can look forward to inStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3, including a Hollywood murder mystery directed by Jonathan Frakes.
