By Jay Bobbin A prequel series in one of sci-fi’s most iconic franchises is ready to go, boldly, back to the roots of the saga. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” begins its 10-episode second season Thursday, June 15, on Paramount+, as it continues the exploits of the starship Enterprise when it was under the command of Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” 2022), the predecessor of the vessel’s legendary later skipper, James T. Kirk (played by “The Vampire Diaries’” Paul Wesley, who reprises the recurring role in Season 2). Spun off from another prequel show, “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Strange New Worlds” has even more in store
for fans: A third season already has been ordered, ahead of the premiere of Season 2.
“We have tried to harken back to some of the values and styles of the original series that got those of us who are a little older ignited on our ‘Star Trek’ journeys,” explains executive producer Akiva Goldsman. “In doing so, we’ve tried to look back and interpolate some parts of the original series that might not have made it to the screen, some things that might have happened just before Jim Kirk took over the Enterprise. And, as such, some familiar faces are finding new life.”
Mount brought his Pike portrayal over from “Star Trek: Discovery,” which also featured Ethan Peck (“In Time,” 2011)
as Spock and Rebecca Romijn (“X-Men,” 2000) as Number One before they made the journey to “Strange New Worlds.” Nurse Chapel (played by Jess Bush, “Playing For Keeps”) and Ensign Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding, “Broadway Whodunit: Escape
From Camp Eerie,” 2020) are among other long-familiar characters who make their “Strange New Worlds” presence known. The second season of “Strange New Worlds” also includes Carol Kane (“Hunters”) in a recurring role. “There was something about ‘Star Trek’ that was so far off the radar for me,” reflects “Hell on Wheels” alum Mount, who also is the character Black Bolt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “It wasn’t even on my bucket list. I
just never thought I would end up captaining the Enterprise. It’s insane when you think about it. And every single day I’m on the set — I’m not exaggerating — is both disbelief and a feeling of tremendous gratitude.”
A particularly intriguing crossover story is part of Season 2 of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” which will merge temporarily with “Star Trek: Lower Decks” ... an animated show. Franchise veteran Jonathan Frakes (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”) directed that story, which features the voices of Tawny Newsome (“Space Force”) and Jack Quaid (“The Boys”) in their “Lower Decks”

Matt Fitzpatrick looking for another major victory
Born in Sheffield, England, the 28-year-old has quickly made a significant impact in the world of golf, having already accumulated numerous accolades and displaying a maturity level beyond his years. After winning the Silver Medal as the leading amateur at the 2013 Open Championship, his career trajectory has skyrocketed, climbing up the world rankings at a remarkable pace after making an official move to professional golf in 2014.
Putting his talent on full display, the Englishman won his first professional tournament at the 2015 British Masters, cracking the top-100 ranking, at No. 59, for the first time in his career. Continuing his elite level of play, his performance at the British Masters earned him a spot on the 2016 European Ryder Cup team. He concluded his triumphant rookie season with one tour win and an impressive nine Top 10 finishes.
Having now been propelled to prominence and beginning to pave a path for himself, he went on and put together a string of dominant performances, showcasing his ability to play under pressure, like winning the 2016 DP World Tour Championship over Tyrrell Hayton by one shot.
Leading up to the U.S. Open Championship this year, Fitzpatrick’s statistics can do all the talking — he’s currently ranked No. 7 worldwide. His driving accuracy, putting average and greens in regulation percentages consistently rank among the top on the PGA Tour. His patented short game is sure to play a big role as well. He’s now racked up eight European Tour wins, One Asian Tour win and two PGA Tour wins, including winning his first major championship last year when he finished at six-under-par, one stroke ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Will Zalatoris, at the U.S. Open.

“High Sierra” (1941): A tough Bogart is terrific as an ex-con who still has a taste for larceny in this Raoul Walsh-directed classic.
“Casablanca” (1942): You certainly must remember this, at least if you are a true movie lover. Bogart is unforgettable as cynical cafe owner Rick (Bogart), who has an indelibly dangerous wartime reunion with his former
flame Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), in one of the most famous films ever made ... packed with scenes that are immediately recognizable.
“To Have and Have Not” (1944): Bogart and Lauren Bacall sizzle together in this version of an Ernest Hemingway tale, and it’s little wonder, since the two stars fell in love while making the picture and later married.
“Dark Passage” (1947): Bogart and Bacall are together again in this saga of a fugitive who goes to great lengths to prove himselc innocent of killing his wife.
“The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” (1948): The search for gold fuels the adventurers in this iconic film, which brought Oscars to two Hustons ... director-screenwriter John and co-star Walter.

“The African Queen” (1951): An Oscar-winning Bogart and Katharine Hepburn are fabulous together as unlikely boat companions in yet another triumph from filmmaker Huston.
“The Caine Mutiny” (1954): The role of Captain Queeg, a Navy officer who becomes party to a court martial, gives Bogart the means for a properly frightening performance in this famous military drama.
“Sabrina” (1954): Director Billy Wilder’s delightful romantic comedy teams Bogart and William Holden as dissimilar, very rich brothers who both become attracted to their chauffeur”s daughter (Audrey Hepburn).
Q: What is it like to share the role of Shauna on “Yellowjackets” with Melanie Lynskey at different ages?
A: It’s hard, because we’re not shooting at the same time. We (younger actors) barely get to be on the set when the adults are there, so it is hard for me sometimes to know what Melanie is doing. I think (it’s about) just keeping Shauna’s personality and her spirit and her journey in mind. We did also talk about some personal stuff. I find that I relate to my character so much, in so many different ways. and I think adding some just personal details about our lives also helped a lot.
Q: Were you familiar with Melanie’s work before “Yellowjackets”?
A: I had not watched any of Melanie’s work. When I learned that I got the part, I watched a couple of things (of hers) on YouTube and such, and I remember being struck by how high-pitched her voice was. I was like, “There’s no way I can match that.” We actually don’t look similar at all, but I knew first how talented she was, and I was very honored to be able to play her younger self.
I haven’t drawn anything from her other characters, because I think this character is so specific and unique. I think I was just more focused on just having conversations with her. We sat for coffee and discussed the character, just trying to be on the same page about her journey. I just tried to match more of what (Lynskey) was playing older.
Q: How was it to film the plane-crash sequence that largely set “Yellowjackets” in motion?
A: It was very interesting. We were in this plane, which felt very claustrophobic, and the plane was slightly tilted to the side. I think it was really helpful for us to be in an environment like that. It made it very realistic. Also, when we got there on the first day and saw how real it looked, it really helped us get into our characters’ bodies and motions.You felt very scared, to be honest.
I WOULD HAVE LOST HEART, UNLESS I HAD BELIEVED THAT I WOULD SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. (PSALM 27:13)
