Star Trek: Strange New Worlds closes out Season 4 by getting wonderfully weird, and KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan are here to unpack it. First, the Enterprise heads back into fantasy territory as La’an confronts her past while the crew finds themselves surrounded by storybook doppelgängers, an evil wizard, a queen, a dragon, and one scene-stealing dog. Then “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” sends Uhura into a time-bending mystery connecting two versions of the Enterprise, Kirk and Pike, Scotty, Ortegas, a black hole, a white hole, and yes, a space baby. The guys dig into the episodes’ character development, callbacks to classic Trek, connections to The Animated Series, the road toward the familiar TOS crew, and whether this season finale feels like it was designed to serve as an ending if Season 5 never happened. Plus, there’s some DC Lanterns talk, character-actor appreciation, wedding chaos, Gundams, Toronto adventures, and the usual detours along the way.  Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episodes 9 and 10.

Kirk, and long-buried secrets about Kirk's father.

This week on Warp My Tardis, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 3, "A Human Best Friend." After a much-needed shore leave on a relaxation planet goes wildly wrong, Ortegas and Scotty must piece together missing memories while tracking down a crew that's behaving very strangely. From a drunken Spock and a singing Una to Pike's questionable tattoo choices, the episode delivers plenty of laughs, character moments, and classic Star Trek weirdness. While the hosts enjoyed the comedy and the growing friendship between Ortegas and Scotty, they felt this was the weakest episode of the season so far.
