Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 took some big swings, and KJ and Security Dan are handing out the awards. Which episode delivered the best visual effects? Who had the strongest character arc? What was the weirdest experiment, the most rewatchable adventure, the best Enterprise beauty shot, and the season’s biggest “what the hell is happening?” moment? The hosts revisit the horror of The Griffin Incident, the fantasy of Once a La’an a Time, the puppet madness of A Level 5 Transporter Accident, Tomorrow’s Enterprise, and more, before choosing their Season 4 MVPs and ranking the season against the first three. Their verdict? Entertaining, ambitious and sometimes wildly inconsistent.  Then it’s time for a little loot: Dungeon Crawler Carl collectibles have arrived in Canada, and KJ and Dan compare their new Carl, Donut and Prepotente goodies, blind bags and loot-box finds. Come for the Star Trek awards. Stay for the Muppets, body horror, beauty shots and Princess Donut.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds closes out Season 4 by getting wonderfully weird, and KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan are here to unpack it. First, the Enterprise heads back into fantasy territory as La’an confronts her past while the crew finds themselves surrounded by storybook doppelgängers, an evil wizard, a queen, a dragon, and one scene-stealing dog. Then “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” sends Uhura into a time-bending mystery connecting two versions of the Enterprise, Kirk and Pike, Scotty, Ortegas, a black hole, a white hole, and yes, a space baby. The guys dig into the episodes’ character development, callbacks to classic Trek, connections to The Animated Series, the road toward the familiar TOS crew, and whether this season finale feels like it was designed to serve as an ending if Season 5 never happened. Plus, there’s some DC Lanterns talk, character-actor appreciation, wedding chaos, Gundams, Toronto adventures, and the usual detours along the way.  Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, Episodes 9 and 10.
