Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. Sometimes, you're working so hard on a cure for your terminally ill child that you're just worn out to the bone. Sometimes, a noncorporeal god-like entity living inside of a massive nebula makes the story-book fairytale that you read to your daughter come true in the real world and it transforms your starship into a sort-of middle school production of Little Red Riding Hood and all hell breaks loose because the crews minds have been taken over and they believe that they are who the are cast as – and the only person you can trust is the cantankerous engineer who isn't affected by the entity but has been cast as a powerful wizard and is... sorta taking to the role.
That's *if* you're Dr. M'Benga of the Enterprise in this week's episode of Strange New Worlds.
