Since the very beginning of Star Trek<\/a><\/em>, back in 1966, one of the coolest ideas in the franchise has been the super-smart race of pointy-eared aliens known as the Vulcans. Like Sherlock Holmes, but way ruder, and with fewer vices, Vulcans, like Spock, are both heroic and maddeningly logical. But what would happen if a bunch of humans were transformed into Vulcans? In the newest episode of Strange New Worlds<\/em> \u2014 streaming this week on Paramount+ \u2014 that’s exactly what happens.<\/p>\n Men’s Journal<\/em> is pumped to present an exclusive clip from this very funny and very unique episode, which reveals a problem the beloved sci-fi franchise has never quite tackled. What if someone got turned into a Vulcan and actually kinda liked it?<\/p>\n In the new scene from Episode 8, “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans,” several crew members of the Enterprise<\/em> go undercover as Vulcans for a very specific mission. But that’s not the main thrust of the episode; instead, the problem is that by accident, Captain Pike (Anson Mount), Ensign Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush), and La’an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) are all stuck in their Vulcan form, even though they’re all normally humans.<\/p>\n In the new clip, Dr. M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) wrestle with the question of what to do with their new Vulcan crewmates until the problem is fixed. The solution? Let’s just say it’s complicated.<\/p>\n The episode also guest stars Patton Oswalt in a surprising role.<\/p>\n Related: ‘Reacher’ Star Sonya Cassidy Joins ‘Star Trek’ in a Surprising Role<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The release date for Strange New Worlds<\/em>, Season 3, Episode 8, is Thursday, August 28.<\/p>\n Like many Paramount+ shows,\u00a0Strange New Worlds\u00a0<\/em>begins streaming new\u00a0episodes very early: Specifically, at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which is 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
