The Crew Gets Tipsy and Things Get Weird on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’
Last week on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, we had a horror tale; this week, we have a wacky, silly episode that runs like The Hangover. Apparently they’re hitting all the big genres this year. Season four, episode three, “Human Best Friend,” opens with voice-over from both Ortegas and Scotty, essentially talking about how much they dislike each other.
