It’s that time of the week again, Trek fans! We’re just days away from another brand-new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and after last week’s soap-opera shenanigans, Starfleet has a brand-new set of orders for the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise!
This week’s episode is titled “Orders of Magnitude,” and it looks set to deliver a healthy dose of vintage Star Trek adventure. While Pike and several senior officers are away on an away mission, Starfleet Command sends the Enterprise on a new alien pursuit. There’s just one problem: with Pike out of the picture, someone needs to take command of the Federation flagship.
Enter James T. Kirk!
With Kirk taking the captain’s chair, the mission is in more than capable hands. But when Starfleet’s orders begin to stretch far beyond the original mandate, Kirk faces a dangerous dilemma: can he complete the mission without violating the Prime Directive? Then again, when James T. Kirk is in command, who would bet against him?
Thankfully, we have a brand-new gallery of official episode stills to keep us entertained until launch day. So, grab your tricorder, set a course for adventure, and prepare to engage maximum warp!
