Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 6 Review
One of the best things about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is that the show has a different adventure every week but still does an excellent job of making sure that each and every installment allows the audience to get to know the crew of the Enterprise. It seems as if each episode of the newest Star Trek show intends to dive into the past of a different crew member each week. That doesn't mean that the entire focus is on that crew member; most of the time, the series is also so good because it handles this so subtly. It's usually not until the end of the episode that the watcher realizes that the main goal was to fill in the backstory gaps.
Such is the case in Episode 6 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as the history of Captain Christopher Pike. While Pike happens to be the character fans of Star Trek have seen on screen the most, thanks to first being in Star Trek: Discovery, there's still plenty of history to fill in for the character. This episode did that deftly, making him come off as just a little more human. That might have been something that needed to be done after five episodes that made him a bit larger than life. He looked like someone who was a bit above it all, now that he's come to terms with his future.

By illustrating that line, the show also tells the tale of the Enterprise as people who are indeed the best among humanity (and other races).
