Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3When Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered as a spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery, many fans were over the moon with the return to episodic televisions with tie-ins to The Original Series. For a time, it felt as if Trek's golden age was back. But as the series evolved, the producers and writers began to see it as a playground for experimental storytelling within the Roddenberry framework.In this episode of The Ready Room, hosts C Bryan Jones and Larry Nemecek look back at Season 3 and ask how well the limited 10-episode canvas was used and how the writers' strike impacted the quality of the stories and continuity of the stories as we examine each episode one by one.ChaptersIntro (00:00:00)Initial Thoughts (00:01:16)The Writers' Strike (00:10:42)There Are Ten Slots (00:16:08)Writing for a Wrap-up?
