Welcome back to TreknoPod – our continuing mission to boldly explore Star Trek: Enterprise episode by episode!

In this episode, Captain Shoff, Captain Vactor, and Captain Linda Paiges review Enterprise Season 1, Episode 4: “Strange New World.” We break down the NX-01’s first away mission to a mysterious planet, Archer’s risky decision to camp overnight, Porthos the Beagle’s big moment, and the creepy hallucinogenic spores that nearly tear the crew apart.

We discuss themes of wonder, paranoia, and humanity’s eagerness to explore—plus ghost stories by the campfire, T’Pol’s struggles to keep control, and why this episode feels like a mix of classic Trek adventure and psychological horror. This one also gave us fun trivia: the caves filmed here were used in Batman ’66 as the Batcave entrance!

If you love Star Trek (Enterprise, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Strange New Worlds, or TOS), this is the podcast for you. Join our crew as we continue this rewatch journey together.
