Warning: SPOILERS for the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode “Lost in Translation” are ahead!
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1’s penultimate episode, “All Those Who Wander,” showed Bruce Horak’s Hemmer, the Enterprise’s chief engineer, sacrificing himself on Valeo Beta V so that Gorn eggs his body had been infected with would never hatch. His death hit Celia Rose Gooding’s Nyota Uhura hard, as during their short time together, Hemmer had become a mentor to her. Well, Season 2 delivered a reunion between Uhura and Hemmer that was intense and frankly frightening for most of “Lost in Translation,” but in real life, Gooding told CinemaBlend that getting to share more screen time with Horak “felt like homecoming.”
