Celia Rose Gooding in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)

Haven't watched every episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" yet? You're not going to make Melissa Navia very happy. She stars as Lt. Erica Ortegas on the throwback spinoff, and she believes you should be as dedicated to the show as she is. Navia also walks IMDb through two more life-changing roles in her career, including the vigilante Moana on "Dietland," the closest she'll ever come to playing a princess. And she ends with her first guest star role, Elena Gabriel on "Billions," and how playing an astronaut on that series may have foreshadowed her first series regular role on "Star Trek."

Welcome Kane!

Anson Mount gets something of a day off, barely visible in this Season 2 starter, as crew members Jess and Babs get to take centerstage.

Several novelties mark the show, first off having Spock "steal" the Enterprise for a definitely unauthorized mission necessary to thwart some greedy folks on the verge of restarting a federation war with the Klingons.

Former colleague Chrisitna sends the warning, and it's Spock and his crew to the rescue. It's a rather serious and talky segment, leading to Babs & Jess excelling at hand to hand combat to selflessly save the day and survive under a minute of freezing unprotected (no space suits) in Outer Space before Spock rescues them on cue. Carol Kane as new cast and crew member is delightful, adding humanity to the show, even though she isn't human.
