Spoilers follow for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episode 10, “Tomorrow’s Enterprise.”
Putting aside the promise of a title like “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” – which obviously echoes the all-time-great Next Gen episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise” – as well as any fan hopes for a Captain Seven from Star Trek: Picard showing up with the crew of the Enterprise-G (yes, some folks were holding out for that unlikely team-up), the Season 4 finale of Strange New Worlds is an enjoyable finish to an incredibly frustrating 10-episode run of highs and lows.
Zeroing in on Celia Rose Gooding’s Nyota Uhura, “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” is a time-travel romp that also functions as a sort of preview of this iteration of the USS Enterprise crew’s end – as well as the show’s. While investigating a white hole – “a unique and rare occurrence,” as Uhura says in her log – as well as fending off Scotty (Martin Quinn), who wants to ask his crewmate out on a date, the newly-promoted lieutenant takes a hit to the noggin after the phenomenon unexpectedly erupts with energy. Next thing she knows, she’s hearing Scotty over the comms suffering some kind of deadly accident… but nobody else hears it or believes her. Nobody except… her future self!
) and the sublime moments it can also offer. And Rose Gooding is terrific as always in this week’s episode as she has to play not just the current-day Uhura, but also the Uhura she’ll be in a year’s time.
