Article Summary

  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds shifts gears in S04E03, “Human Best Friend,” after the horror highs of “The Griffin Incident.”
  • A shore leave on a pleasure planet goes sideways fast, teasing a chaotic and potentially Hangover-style Strange New Worlds romp.
  • “The Griffin Incident” gets a strong nod, with Axelle Carolyn’s direction and Robbie Thompson’s script singled out as standouts.
  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S04E03 “Human Best Friend” is written by Skylar J. Ojeda and Dana Horgan.

Before we check out what's ahead with Paramount+'s Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, we just have to say this about "The Griffin Incident." Axelle Carolyn is a rockstar when it comes to directing television horror, and last week's episode was a perfect example of those skills in play (with serious bonus points for the script from Robbie Thompson). That brings us to what's vibing to be a very different episode, S04E03: "Human Best Friend." It seems that a shore leave to a pleasure planet takes a turn from the pleasurable to the not-so-pleasant in some very interesting ways. Could we be looking at a "The Hangover" situation in play? Here's a look at the official images that were released:
