The final trailer for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" has arrived and it certainly looks like it offers an exciting season of sci-fi ahead. There's a simple reason why this is currently the best entry in the new Trek: Because — so far at least — it's not drowning in nostalgia at the expense of preventing any new ideas from getting noticed.
That said, the showrunners here have to be mindful of how much they use legacy characters like James Kirk (Paul Wesley), but we'll see how that unfolds over the next 10 episodes. While we're not jumping up and down with excitement at the prospect of even more existing history, characters etc. being written into new stories, this incarnation of "Star Trek" has handled it well. So, we remain optimistic.
