What You Need To Know To Watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Paramount+ By Witney Seibold/May 2, 2022 7:00 am EST “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is the 12th TV series in the franchise’s history (when one includes “Short Treks”) and, thanks to the labyrinthine nature of Trek chronology, is the fourth series set prior to the events of the original “Star Trek” from 1966. While one needn’t be intimately familiar with said chronology to understand and appreciate “Strange New Worlds,” it certainly — to borrow a commonly used colloquialism often used to describe an IP-saturated media landscape — rewards the fans....

Doctor Who Could Have Been A Much Darker Sci-Fi Show BBC By Fatemeh Mirjalili/April 10, 2022 8:30 pm EST The “Doctor Who” 2005 reboot revitalized the sci-fi series, instilling modern audiences with a love for the legendary time traveler and his many adventures.
