"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" has brought back some classic characters from the franchise by recasting them with new actors. Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) is finally helming his own show, with Spock (Ethan Peck) and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) serving in his crew. Future Captain Jim Kirk (Paul Wesley) has become a recurring face, while the season 2 finale, "Hegemony," introduced a young Montgomery Scott (Martin Quinn). But if actor John Billingsley has his way, Doctor Phlox could return in "Strange New Worlds" without the need for recasting.
Billingsley played Phlox on "Star Trek: Enterprise" — he was the chief medical officer of the Nx-01, the first Starfleet spaceship named "Enterprise." A Denobulan, Phlox looked human-ish (except for the serrated ridges on the side of his head), but his alien anatomy was, well, rather alien indeed.
The wisdom of introducing a new alien race in a prequel series aside, Phlox was...

Spoilers for "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" follow.
It's been over a week since season 2 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" wrapped. I'd call the season a success; it built upon the rock-solid first season and swung further toward the fences. "Strange New Worlds" season 2 was daring, goofy, and pushed "Star Trek" into new frontiers while capping off with a bold cliffhanger right out of "The Next Generation."
While the premiere is at least a year away, it was confirmed back in March 2023 that "Strange New Worlds" has been renewed for a third season. The cast has already floated some ideas; Rebecca Romijn (Commander Una-Chin Riley/Number One) wants an episode showing how her character met Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), for example. But it's not just the show's cast and crew with hopes and dreams for season 3.
After season 1 ended, I wrote a list of what /Film wanted out...

In some ways, "Strange New Worlds" has emerged as the true successor to "Star Trek: The Next Generation," despite the fact that the recently ended "Star Trek: Picard" actually featured the core cast of "The Next Generation" in its third and final season. For one thing, "Strange New Worlds" is lit better; no longer are we aboard the bridge of a shadowy starship. In both color and tone, the series embraces the bright optimism and humanism that was once central to the "Star Trek" ethos. It's also less of a legacy sequel — wedded to a warehouse of Easter eggs and recycled old plotlines — and more of a legacy prequel.
"Strange New Worlds" takes place before "Star Trek: The Original Series," and it's set aboard the same ship, the USS Enterprise (Ncc-1701), where new versions of familiar characters like Spock (Ethan Peck) and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) find themselves getting caught...

There’s plenty of overlap between the audiences for Star Wars and Star Trek, yet for decades the two fan bases have been pitted against each other like reluctant gladiators dropped into an arena (whether the one where a shirtless Captain Kirk fought in “The Gamesters of Triskelion” or the one where Padme Amidala got her midriff exposed in...
