Warning: SPOILERS forStar Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 4 "Memento Mori."
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' new engineer, Hemmer (Bruce Horak), fixes an issue that hindered Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) on Star Trek: Discovery. As well as being a prequel to the original Star Trek, Strange New Worlds is a direct spin-off from season 2 of Discovery. Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn all reprise their roles as Pike, Spock, and Una, respectively, while the events that led to Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and her crew being stranded in the future loom over them.
Strange New Worlds is hugely reminiscent of traditional Star Trek, focusing on the adventures of the Enterprise crew via an episodic rather than arc-heavy structure. This means that as well as Pike, Spock, and Una, the show also focuses on the other roles onboard Star Trek's iconic Enterprise. Already, episodes have revealed the backstory of Doctor M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Cadet Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding.) In season 1, episode 4, «Memento Mori,» Strange New Worlds reveals more about Hemmer, the Enterprise's taciturn chief engineer, and address some of the issues faced by Discovery's early seasons.
