Rebecca Romijn's Number One (aka Una Chin-Riley) and Christina Chong's La’an Noonien-Singh have gone through some transformational character changes over the past two seasons of “ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ” and this fresh batch of episodes for Season 3 sees that trend continue.

For Trekkies, Spock's dance lesson will immediately evoke the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Data's Day" (January 7, 1991). In that episode, Data (Brent Spiner) has been invited to the wedding of Chief O'Brien (Colm Meany) and his fiancée Keiko (Rosalind Chao).

"Hegemony, Part II" had several moments when things could have taken a much darker turn. But through teamwork and perseverance, the crew of the Enterprise pulled off a victory on all fronts. The Gorn are gone (for now), the Parnassus residents were saved, the crew is safe and Pike's beloved Batel survives her ordeal as a Gorn baby incubator.
