Strange New Worlds Shows Star Trek Into Darkness’ Biggest Cheat Made Sense
The crew of the USS Enterprise had to cheat to beat Khan Noonien Singh (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Star Trek Into Darkness, but Star Trek: Strange New Worlds shows why asking for outside help to beat Khan was necessary. Strange New Worlds season 2 featured the historic first meeting of Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley), Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), and Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) in Star Trek’s Prime Timeline, an event that happened a year earlier and much more dramatically in the Kelvin Timeline created by J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek 2009. Strange New Worlds season 2 takes place in 2259/2260 while Star Trek Into Darkness happens at roughly the same time, in 2259 of the alternate reality. But both Enterprise crews are in very different places in their lives.
