Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 3 Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
La’An travels back in time to twenty-first-century Earth to prevent an attack which will alter humanity’s future history and bring her face to face with her own contentious legacy.
After knocking it out of the park with “Ad Aspera Per Aspera,” which is being widely lauded as one of the best episodes of the series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds does it again with “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.” The third episode of Season 2, written by David Reed and directed by Amanda Row, delivers a story that is both humorous and heartbreaking. When La’an (Christina Chong) is contacted by a temporal agent, she is first sent into an alternate timeline — in which James Kirk (Paul Wesley) is already captain of the Enterprise — and then sent back in time to stop someone from changing history forever. The only problem? She’s sent back with a Kirk from a timeline that cannot exist if she does what she’s sent there to do.
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” stands out for many reasons — not only is this episode a thrilling time travel story and a heart-pounding romantic drama, but it’s also an episode of Star Trek that, despite being in a prequel series, feels like it could not have existed without every Trek series that came before it. All this to say that this episode reads as both a beautiful love letter to the franchise as a whole as well as an incredible standalone story within Strange New Worlds.
Carol Kane‘s Pelia returns in the most delightful way in this episode as we get a deeper look at her very, very long life, and Reign star Adelaide Kane makes a captivating appearance in a guest role that keeps the audience on their toes. Chong and Wesley both deliver phenomenal performances that highlight their ranges and their unexpected chemistry. Strange New Worlds also finally calls the Star Trek future we’re all striving towards a “socialist utopia” and then embraces its shooting location with “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” letting Toronto be Toronto instead of passing it off as New York.
The episode opens with La’an making the rounds as Enterprise’s Chief of Security, dealing with petty squabbles between the crew, noise complaints, and searching through Pelia’s belongings as she’s onboarded as the new Chief Engineer.
