2023 will likely be remembered as one of the greatest years for the Star Trek franchise, ever. After two mixed seasons of Picard, the third season delivered a critical hit that united (nearly) every generation of the fandom. This was followed by Strange New Worlds Season 2, which not only dropped the instant classic musical episode “Subspace Rhapsody,” but also delivered the brilliant crossover episode, “Those Old Scientists,” which reached through space and time to connect the classic Pre-Kirk era of Trek with the post-TNG era of Lower Decks.
