Every new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a thrill to watch, but lately it's also been a reminder that there are only so many left to go. The series will end with Season 5, though co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman started talking about an upcoming Trek spinoff pitch he has called Star Trek: Year One, which would keep it going. I don't think there's a better case for that happening than the latest episode, which shows how Kirk's early years as Captain make for great television.
