Strange New Worlds season 4 finale pays homage to TNG

tvSep 24, 202649535

The season 4 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "Tomorrow's Enterprise," uses a white hole to connect two points in time so Lt. Uhura can communicate with a version of herself from a year in the future while trying to save Scotty from death by an exploding console. The episode's title and structure openly callback to The Next Generation's "Yesterday's Enterprise," evoking the Enterprise-C, Captain Rachel Garrett, and the era when a temporal rift reshaped the crew's timeline. "Tomorrow's Enterprise" also echoes TNG's series finale "All Good Things..." by using a large subspace anomaly to move key characters through multiple moments in time and hinge the plot on one person sensing that something is wrong. Space.com notes the finale may provide an origin for an element of Deep Space Nine's mythology, and accompanying footage teases a Year One spin-off. Major emotional beats center on Uhura's dual performances and the episode reframing familiar Starfleet relationships through a wartime mirror, while the installment closes Strange New Worlds season 4 on a time-travel note that sets up possible new series directions.

What a relief that the season is finally over. This year, SFA was clearly Trek’s stronger outing.

This season was definitely hit or miss. But I gotta say, I think they stuck the landing. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, and can finally feel the beginnings of connecting SNW to TOS.

This was really bugged me because they kept say8ing it was {redacted period of time] in the future which it shouldn't have been. So, I spent the whole episode peeved about how it was wrong. (I believe I understand now but it's still irritating)

#StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds ends its fourth season with “Tomorrow’s Enterprise,” a classically Star Trek-y time travel episode that felt pretty fresh. With great performances from Celia Rose Gooding and the cast, it’s a strong close. My review: blog.trekcore.com/2026/09/star...

"Live in the moment" definitely feels like a corporate platitude someone drops when they have absolutely nothing else to say - and really, the fact that Strange New Worlds had absolutely nothing to say this season despite *motions broadly at the state of everything* is a huge fucking disappointment.

On @reactorsff.bsky.social it's the excellent finale of a most uneven season of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, which gives a hint of the rumored "Year One" series. The best part is seeing everyone in 60s hairdos. My review of "Tomorow's Enterprise." reactormag.com/tv-review-st...

I have waited years for an Uhura story like this. Damn I wish I wrote it. But I finally have it. Thank you, Strange New Worlds. I’m weeping.

Strange New Worlds isn't perfect. This episode? Was phenomenal. Celia Rose Gooding carries an episode of Star Trek so well.

If they make any more Star Trek: Strange New Worlds they really need to stick to one or two wacky episodes a season. Every second episode is a bit much tbqhwy. Also...

Captain Pike asking Lieutenant Commander Kirk why he's always on his fucking spaceship.

Agree. Thought the first couple were fun, but wanted some more good old fashioned pew pew.

Sweeting not Xing1

I hate to agree but I do. Only six left though so sure it'll be a good yet hilarious send-off.

Maybe someone rewatched Spaced and wanted to remain canon.

Between the Sybok cameo this season and the beginnings of a Scotty/Uhura romance in the latest episode, STRANGE NEW WORLDS may be one of the only TREK things to embrace THE FINAL FRONTIER.

No spoilers please. But I think that was my favourite episode of the season. What a season too of #StarTrek Strange New Worlds. I liked all but one episode 9/10
