Star Trek Strange New Worlds Review: Ad Astra Per Aspera (Revisit)

We love a court room episode of Trek here at Trekkin Up North, and this one is no exception. We covered "Ad Astra Per Aspera" back as part of season two of Strange New Worlds and it set our phasers to stunned. From the stellar performances of the guest stars and the joy of an Una episode, to showing how well the show can work even without Pike being front and centre, there was no way this wasn't going into our Dabo Wheel of Honour. Now that it's come up again we're taking a second look at this great episode to see whether our feelings have changed and what we think makes it as good as it is. Also shout out to The Hood from Thunderbirds who guest stars in this episode. Subscribe to our YouTube channel for new episodes every Friday: https://www.trekkinupnorth.com Join us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/trekkinupnorth Hosted on Acast.
