The STAR TREK UNIVERSE keeps calm and carries on

By Ani Bundel

Hall H was a bizarre catastrophe at SDCC ’23 (Strike Decimated Comic-Con). Wednesday’S in a single day line was 20 folks; Thursday’s was non-existent. But regardless of the limitless cancellations, one nerd property got here via: Star Trek. After all, this was the franchise that made conventions well-known among the many mainstream, so in fact their 90-minute Saturday afternoon panel went on as scheduled, opening with a lovely sizzle reel of all of the completely different collection edited collectively for max emotional impression.

Not that there have been actors to assist Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. But moderator Scott Mantz did every part he might to convey the actors to the fandom’s minds, with shout-outs to Michelle Yeoh for her Academy Award win for Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Sonequa Martin-Green for Star Trek: Discovery.

Moreover, the panel was sensible about what they introduced for followers, kicking off with the primary 5 minutes of Discovery’s last season, which Mantz confirmed would premiere in early 2024.

As if that weren’t sufficient, the panel then adopted with the trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4. The collection premieres on Paramount+ on September 7 2023, with two episodes.

However, that’s solely half-hour of vamping, with about seven minutes of reports. So, very similar to different TV panels, it was time to look at tv. SDCC 2023 lucked out, as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ episode set to will stream subsequent week is “Those Old Scientists,” the extremely anticipated crossover episode with the animated Lower Decks.

So they confirmed that episode for the assembled crowd, 50,000 robust, forward of the episode’s debut. The episode was bumped as much as a 4 p.m. PT debut on Paramount+ in an effort to forestall spoilers.

But earlier than all of us settled in to look at TV, Mantz broke yet one more piece of reports. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 9 might be entitled “Subspace Rhapsody,” and would be the very first musical Star Trek episode in historical past. The trailer, which aired within the corridor, was pleasant.

Strange New World’s “Those Old Scientists” is streaming at the moment, July 22, on Paramount+, “Subspace Rhapsody” streams August 3, Lower Decks premieres September 7, 2023, and Star Trek: Discovery’s last season premieres in early 2024.
