Uncanny Treks: Star Trek- Strange New Worlds S3E6 (2025, TV)

Kirk's first command — and it's a nightmare. Bob and Matt unpack 'The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,' where an injured Captain V'Rel leaves Kirk in charge of the Farragut just as a planet-eating scavenger ship swallows the Enterprise whole. Pelia rigs rotary phones and an Atari-style joystick to fly the ship, Spock delivers the sehlat pep talk, and the twist — the 'scavengers' are devolved humans from a lost 21st-century colony ship — leaves Kirk wracked over 7,000 dead. Bob and Matt debate whether Starfleet's golden boy earns his legend here.
