The picture is from very early in the episode, I’m trying not to spoil it to anybody. The new Star Trek show “Strange New Worlds” just released an episode that mostly takes place in present-day (more-or-less) Toronto, with familiar city sites in almost every scene. It’s a pretty good episode for Kurtzman-era Trek, although it’s hard to concentrate on the plot as Torontonians.
It is technically episodic, but it’s not. Unless you’re pretty deep in star trek (there are references to Enterprise in this episode) I’d recommend watching season 1 first to get a feeling for the characters.
It’s not long and it’s a great ride. If you really want to skip season 1, though, this is the episode to start with. The first two are basically led with “last time on star trek snw”.
A friend of mine watched the episode in isolation, being familiar with classical Star Trek and having only a vague idea of what happened in/since Discovery. He got quite confused about where and how the episode fits on the timeline. Anyway, if the events took place in New York (à la The City on the Edge of Forever) or San Francisco (à la The Voyage Home and others) this episode wouldn’t really be noteworthy: just a side quest of a character attempting to fix the timeline and learn to accept themselves in the process.
