Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Strange New Worlds" Season 2, episode 2
Do you know what you get when a long-running television franchise gestures with a nod to its origins without force-feeding its audience a bunch of what's-in-the-box empty plot promises drowning in a sea of treacle-thick nostalgia, relying solely on the reappearance of our once-favorite characters in little more than a lazily-written cast reunion? What you get is a stonkingly good episode like this one.
