59 Years Later, Star Trek Retcons Its Strangest Forgotten Adventure


What happens on Rigel VII stays on Rigel VII. Literally. In Strange New Worlds Season 2, the first “strange new world” in all of Star Trek canon has been revisited. And, it turns out that if your memory of this planet is a little fuzzy, that’s by design. In Season 2, Episode 4 “Among the Lotus Eaters,” Strange New Worlds returns to the infamous planet that served as the backstory to the first filmed Star Trek episode, ever, “The Cage.” And this time, a few plot holes from 1964 are used as the jumping-off point into a brand-new story. Spoilers ahead.
