There's nothing original about 'Strange New Worlds' latest episode, 'Terrarium', but it's classic 'Star Trek'

Erica Ortegas forms an unexpected friendship with a Gorn after crash-landing on a barren moon, while the U.S.S. Enterprise crew works on a 56% chance rescue mission through a wormhole.

  • On Thursday, September 4, 2025, Erica Ortegas undertook an instrument-only shuttle run when a wormhole pulled the Archimedes through, causing it to crash-land on a distant moon.
  • The U.S.S. Enterprise was probing a sector of space with gravity anomalies, and because probes failed to deliver results, Erica Ortegas navigated by gravitational imaging to deploy an observational buoy.
  • Uhura and Spock proposed an unorthodox rescue that wedged the U.S.S. Enterprise into the wormhole, with Uhura estimating 56 percent success and Captain Pike approving the mission, discovering a gas giant with 396 moons.
  • La'an Noonien-Singh intervened and shoots the Gorn, ordering Erica Ortegas beamed up while the Metron revealed the moon scenario was an experiment and Ortegas isn't ready to meet them.
  • Using a mashup of classic Star Trek elements, the 'Moretegas' episode mixes the Metron from The Original Series and a Darmok comparison from The Next Generation, advancing Erica Ortegas' season-long arc.
