Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 has the answer to a mystery that began in Star Trek: The Original Series 57 years ago if a pair of pivotal characters appear. Strange New Worlds successfully introduced Lieutenant James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) and integrated him into the crew of the USS Enterprise commanded by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount). Even though Kirk is assigned to the USS Farragut as First Officer, James has smoothly fit in on the Enterprise, the starship he is destined to lead as Captain.
In Strange New Worlds season 2, Lt. Kirk met Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and his future best friend, Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), for the first time, setting into motion over three decades of loyalty and adventures by the iconic Enterprise trio. Kirk also has another link to the Enterprise in his friendship with Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong). James and La'an share a mutual attraction, although Kirk can't act on it because he confessed to La'an that his on-again/off-again girlfriend, Carol Marcus, is pregnant. However, Strange New Worlds season 3 can introduce other significant figures from Kirk's past who factor into Star Trek: The Original Series, and answer one of TOS's oldest questions as a result.
