Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Summary
My best-loved parts ofStar Trek : Strange New Worlds ' crossover were the callbacks to Scott Bakula’sStar Trek : enterprisingness . Directed by Jonathan Frakes , and written by Kathryn Lyn and Bill Wolkoff , Star Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 2 , episode 7 , " Those Old Scientists " broughtStar Trek : Lower Decks ' Ensign Bradward Boimler ( Jack Quaid ) and Ensign Beckett Mariner ( Tawny Newsome ) to the USS Enterprise commanded by Captain Christopher Pike ( Anson Mount).Strange New Worlds ' crossover was a protection toStar Trekfans , and , surprisingly , a have it away ode toStar Trek : endeavour .
Star Trek : Strange New Worlds ' crossoversaw Ensign Brad Boimler trip through a meter portal , where he ’s stranded aboard Captain Pike ’s 23rd - century Starship Enterprise . Soon , Ensign Beckett Mariner also bumbles through the time portal , and Captain Pike and his go-ahead crew ’s dilemma becomes how to charge the Starfleet meter travelers back to the 24th century . The unexpected result comes fromStar Trek : Enterpriseand the 22nd - one C pioneering voyages of Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ) and the NX-01 Enterprise become the key to Mariner and Boimler go bad home . Best of all , it move around outCaptain Pike and his crowd loveStar Trek : Enterpriseas much as I do .
Ensigns Boimler and Mariner from Star Trek : Lower Decks cross over into Strange New Worlds , but how do the get home , and do they harm the timeline ?
I Loved Every Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Crossover Callback To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise
Captain Pike looks up to Captain Archer
I be intimate how the agency to institutionalise ensign Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler back toStar Trek : Lower Decks ' 24th 100 were ingeniously dependent onStar Trek : Enterprise- and Boimler ’s fanboyish knowledge of Captain Archer ’s NX-01 starship . The sentence portal on the satellite Krulmuth campaign on horonium , a rare alloy the NX-01 Enterprise ’s hull was built out of . Boimler and Mariner realized that Captain Pike ’s Enterprise contains horonium from its namesake , the NX-01 . Thus , Enterprise ’s bequest from Archer ’s ship to Pike ’s save the twenty-four hours .

I was also embolden by how much honey and hero worship was shown by thecharacters ofStar Trek : Strange New WorldstoStar Trek : enterprisingness ’s crew . Captain Pike was inspired by Captain Archer , one of his heroes . Similarly , the USS Enterprise ’s helmsman , Lt . Erica Ortegas ( Melissa Navia ) depend up to the NX-01 ’s pilot , Ensign Travis Mayweather ( Anthony Montgomery ) , and , of course of action , Ensign Nyota Uhura ( Celia Rose Gooding ) models herself after the original Enterprise Communications Officer , Ensign Hoshi Sato ( Linda Park ) . Theconnective tissue between Archer and Pike ’s Enterprises has never been clearer .
perhaps the good gag inStar Trek : unknown New Worlds’crossover is Lt . La’an Noonien - Singh ( Christina Chong ) deadpanning,“I love life grapplers . “La’an refers to the NX-01 ’s equipment that prey Starfleet ’s innovation of tractor beams . unknown New Worldsdelivered themost sincere acknowledgment ofStar Trek : Enterprisefrom modernStar Trekyet . It meant a lot to fans like me who championedEnterpriseduring its original connection streamlet on UPN , and watched Scott Bakula ’s prequel unfairly maligned as"the show that shoot down the dealership . "
AfterEnterprisewas canceled in 2005 , there was no newStar Trekon TV for 12 old age untilStar Trek : Discoverypremiered in 2017 .
Star Trek Acknowledges The Importance Of Scott Bakula’s Enterprise
It’s been a long road getting from there to here
Star Trek : Strange New Worlds ' crossover is thelatest and best exercise ofStar Trekreassessing the honest importance of Scott Bakula’sStar Trek : Enterpriseto the greater franchise . As a 22nd - century prequel disconnected fromStar Trek : The Original SeriesandStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s eras , it was easy to dismissEnterprise , particularly since it was the only Rick Berman - producedStar Trekseries to execute 4 time of year instead of 7 . ButEnterprisegot an expected call - out in J.J. Abrams’Star Trek(2009 ) , which referenced"Admiral Archer ’s prized beagle,“establishing thatStar Trek : Enterpriseis the foundation of bothStar Trek ’s Prime and Kelvin Timelines .
Star Trek : Lower Decks ' jokes reference Enterprise were always welcome .
Star Trek Beyondwent even further in acknowledgingStar Trek : initiative , with thevillain Krall ( Idris Elba)revealed as a formerEnterprise - geological era senior pilot and making the movie ’s climactic hero ship the NX Class USS Franklin . Star Trek : Lower Decks ' jokes referencingEnterprisewere always welcome , and theStar Trek : very Short Treksepisode " Holograms All The Way Down " saw Connor Trinneer reprise Commander Trip Tucker for the first time sinceEnterprisewas invalidate . All of this led the manner forStar Trek : Strange New Worldsto amply give Captain Archer and his Enterprise work party their just due .
What’s Preventing A Scott Bakula & Star Trek: Enterprise Comeback?
Odds are against an Enterprise reunion
Star Trek : enterprisingness ’s master castis live and well , so what ’s keeping them from follow back for a reunion?A few factors are maintain back the return ofStar Trek : go-ahead . One issuing is that , despiteEnterprisebeing reassessed by audiences in the 19 years since the prequel was canceled , Paramount+ may not consider the fan interest is in full there to reviveEnterprise . Another problem is the wayStar Trek : Enterpriseended , and how would it make sentiency to reunify the intact crew 20 years later ? Yet these are originative problem that can be undertake if the will to bring backStar Trek : Enterpriseis there .
Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating are keepingStar Trek : Enterprise ’s fire plump with their podcast , The D - Con Chamber .
Although many ofEnterprise ’s role player like Connor Trinneer , Dominic Keating , John Billingsley , and Anthony Montgomery remain combat-ready on theStar Trekconvention circuit , Scott Bakula and Jolene Blalock have moved on fromStar Trek . However , while Blalock is seemingly retired from acting , Bakula ’s recent appearance onThe D - Con Chamberpodcast and attendingStar Trek ’s Peabody Awards solemnisation indicates Scott has n’t leftStar Trekbehind . While some variety of live - action or animatedStar Trek : Enterprisereunion would be fantastic , I ’m glad homages likeStar Trek : unusual New Worlds’crossover show thatStar Trek still has faith of the heart .
