More than half a century after creator Gene Roddenberry first launched the starship Enterprise, Star Trek is still going strong. In fact, 2023 was maybe the biggest year yet for his universe, with Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds all debuting new seasons. All these new series mean plenty of new episodes added to the canon. While each one is likely someone’s favorite episode ever, it’s time to run down the best episodes of the year.Still, a word like “best” is as nebulous as, well, a cloud of gas and dust in outer space that may or may not contain coffee. There are no hard nor fast rules about what a Star Trek story is supposed to be. The episodes listed below are all important moments in their respective series and the canon at large. Some are fun romps made to make fans feel great. Others are heavy emotional stories that challenge what audiences think they know about these icons of science fiction. All of them, however, simultaneously stand out from their peers, while still possessing the ephemeral quality of “feeling” like Star Trek. Individual viewers’ warp speeds may vary, but there is no denying these episodes are something special.This entry is controversial, with many fans not fond of musicals finding the extended song breaks a bit of a chore. However, Strange New Worlds still told important character stories while making the most of the high-concept premise. Sandwiched between two emotionally heavy episodes, it remains a fun romp that showcases the talent of the cast. And who could be mad at Klingons singing a K-Pop-style number?
