Strange New Worlds has made great use of these classic alien villains so far, but they should probably quit while they're ahead.

In the season opener, we return to those aggressive reptilian creatures known as the Gorn when Pike and Co. come to the rescue of his imprisoned crew and Parnassus Beta colonists. These aliens have been fan favorites for the last two seasons but now they're being laid to rest at last.

The first three episodes of season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are available to stream now on Paramount Plus. New episodes release on Thursdays through Sept. 11.
