Section 31 (2025) Review - SNWF031

Captain Bubbles (A.K.A. Shannon) was in it for Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis while her crew of Starfleet Section 35 Chief Commander Klinger (Jake) and Agent SP (A.K.A. SP) discuss and review the 2025 Paramount+ streaming movie "Star Trek: Section 31." The crew run down how big of a departure the movie was from traditional Star Trek while retaining amazing nods to existing Trek storylines, the delicious history of Rachel Garrett and the actor that portrayed her Kacey Rohl, the alien sex/mecha boom-boom/lost Deltan, how the fight scenes came off, if Philippa Georgiou was redeemable or not, the sad state of Trek tech, and possible Section 31 futures.  Thank you for listening to our coverage of Section 31. Strange New Worlds Fancast will return later in 2025 to cover Strange New Worlds season 3.

"Hegemony" S2E10 Review - SNWF030

In this, the last episode of Strange New Worlds Season 2 is a bit bittersweet. It's awesome and we love it but we most likely aren't gonna get another for a while. Join us as we gather to enjoy the cliffhanger that is 'Hegemony' and talk about who is carrying Gorn spawn.

"Subspace Rhapsody" S2E9 Review - SNWF029

We've got Klingon-Boy-Bands and Wubba-Lubbas all over this cast. You just never know what is going to come your way with Strange New Worlds, and today, it was a musical. We know what you're thinking but honestly, it does get better. However, just know we have one episode left after t his and we are stoked for it.

"Under The Cloak of War" S2E08 Review - SNWF028

Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is completely crushing it with the last few episodes and that trend continues with episode eight. PTSD, super solider doctors, and a self-defense/murder that no cameras on the ship caught at all due to HIPAA regulations. Yeah, you know what happened there.

"Those Old Scientists" S2E07 Review - SNWF027

We are geeking out here! Season 2 Episode 7 of Strange New Worlds 'Those Old Scientists' is one of the best Star Trek episodes ever put out and even Shannon who doesn't like animated anything was won over by Boimler and Mariner! It's that good.

"Lost in Translation" S2E6 Review - SNWF026

Jake and Sean review 'Lost in Translation' and can't help but talk about the table scene where we see history being made. There is also a fair amount of prune juice equivalency in this episode - trust us, its a thing.

"Charades" S2E5 Review - SNWF025

We're back and completely geeking out about the Spock, T'pring, Chapel love triangle and really think T'pring is the keeper here even though Sean loves Chapel with all his heart.

"Among The Lotus Eaters" S2E04 Review - SNWF024

It's a fine day for a new episode of Strange New Worlds! Its actually pretty fitting that I almost forgot today was Star Trek watching day and Shannon couldn't remember the name of the episode as in this one everybody forgot everything anyway!

"Tomorrow Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" S2E03 Review - SNWF023

This was the episode Sean was waiting for! It had Time Travel, La'an, yoga pants, fights, explosions, and muscle cars. Shannon however was bored out of her mind. Go figure. As always it takes all kinds and we are here for it!

01:01:13

"Ad Astra per Aspera" S2E2 Review - SNWF022

It was a courtroom drama this time on Strange New Worlds! Shannon was here for it because Una, Jake loved to see Erica be loyal and Spock "Outbursting" and Sean couldn't be bothered unless things were blowing up.

"The Broken Circle" S2E1 Review - SNWF021

Welcome back to Strange New Worlds, we are so excited about season two and have just watched the first episode! It's a great day to be a Star Trek fan and away we go with drunk Vulcans, fighting doctors, and a stolen ship. Join us!
