Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Posts S01E05 Spock Amok Images, Preview
Welcome back to our weekly preview for Paramount+'s Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn & Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, with this week bringing preview images & a sneak preview for S01E05 "Spock Amok." Yeah, we had a feeling that the episode title would get your attention. While we don't have an official logline yet, this week's chapter appears to have been written by Chris Fisher and directed by Akiva Goldsman, with Spock (Peck) and T'Pring (Gia Sandhu) clearly the focus of the episode. But from a subplot standpoint, we also have some interactions at play between Chapel (Jess Bush) and Ortegas (Melissa Navia)- as you're about to see. After the images & sneak preview, make sure to stick around for two very cool looks at how the season came together.
