Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 306 Preview: "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail"

This Thursday, Strange New Worlds  drops episode 306, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail”

And we’ve got 12 brand-new images to get you hyped for what’s looking like another wild ride in the final stretch of the season.

Written by David Reed & Bill Wolkoff, and directed by Valerie Weiss, this one puts Lieutenant Commander James Kirk front and center, and not exactly on the smoothest first day in the Captain’s chair of the U.S.S. Farragut.

Official Synopsis:
Lieutenant Commander James Kirk’s first day in the Captain’s chair of the U.S.S. Farragut takes a disastrous turn when the Enterprise is captured by a deadly Scavenger Ship. But the alien menace is not exactly what it seems…

From the look of the preview stills, we’re getting tense standoffs, big emotional beats, and maybe a twist or two that’s going to have the fandom talking. Check out the gallery below, then join us Thursday night LIVE on YouTube at 9:30 PM ET for our full review.

We're going to go look for the Sehlat now while you check out these 12 brand new images.
