After the lighthearted rom-com of “Wedding Bell Blues,” Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 has swung all the way back to the tonal opposite side of the Final Frontier.
Instead, for the first time since 2003, the Star Trek franchise has dared to depict one very famous horror trope in live-action: zombies.
This might seem like the first time a live-action Trek episode has done full-blown zombies.
