Strange New Worlds: Spock Being "Team Barbenheimer" Is Logical: Peck

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Ethan Peck knows exactly where Spock would land on the whole Barbie/Oppenheimer debate.

Even with a new episode of Paramount+'s Anson Mount (Pike), Rebecca Romijn (Una Chin-Riley) & Ethan Peck (Spock)-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds set to hit screens later this week, fans are still discussing the Spock-focused "Charades" as the fan-favorite struggles with his humanity while attempting to reclaim the Vulcan side. So with that duality in mind, Peck was asked where Spock would stand on the whole "Barbie"/"Oppenheimer" debate. Basically, would Spock choose the Cillian Murphy-starring historical film or the Margot Robbie-starring fantasy/comedy film on their shared opening weekend? As Peck sees it, there's really no choice – Spock would be "Barbenheimer" all of the way. "Absolutely, because I think 'Oppenheimer' would fulfill the Vulcan side of him, and I think 'Barbie' would fulfill the human side of him," Peck shared with TVLine.

And here's a look at a sneak preview for this week's episode, S02E06 "Lost in Translation," coming to us courtesy of Wil Wheaton and The Ready Room podcast. In the following clip (at around the 27:30 mark), Pelia (Carol Kane) makes a startling discovery – sabotage. And here's a look at the overview for S02E06 "Lost in Translation": Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound that seems to trigger terrifying hallucinations:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2

Here's a look at what's ahead for the second season of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – followed by a rundown of what we previously learned about the new season:

In season two of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations. The crew will also embark on personal journeys that will continue to test their resolve and redefine their destinies. Facing friends and enemies both new and familiar, their adventures will unfold in surprising ways never seen before on any "Star Trek" series.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years that Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, following Pike, Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) during the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. The streaming series also stars Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga. The second season will also feature the return of special guest star Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk and new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia. Jack Quaid (Boimler) & Tawny Newsome (Mariner) from "Lower Decks" will be crossing over in a live-action way this season, directed by none other than Jonathan Frakes.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serve as co-showrunners. Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet serve as executive producers in addition to Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth.
