This is going to sound like I’m working for #Paramount … but I promise – it’s just my genuine love for all things #StarTrek.
And if you’re a fan, you probably already know that “Strange New Worlds” is made by folks who truly love Trek.
Season 3 just began, but we also got a sneak preview of something special planned for Season 4 …
no, it’s not “Pigs in Space,” but the #JimHenson Creature Shop will be lending a hand (many hands, actually).
I. Can’t. Wait!
