We’re just a few hours away from Star Trek: Discovery’s eleventh episode, and while they were teased in the preview for tonight’s new episode — “The Wolf Inside” — Entertainment Weekly has released a set of new photos from the upcoming hour featuring the return of some very familiar Star Trek alien species.
The new photos feature a meeting between Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif), and members of the Mirror Universe’s alien rebellion — including a goateed Sarek (James Frain) and a version of Voq (insert real or fake actor name of your choice here) at the table…. along with our first representatives of the Andorian and Tellarite races we’ve seen in this iteration of the series.
Compared to the much-discussed ‘visual reboot’ of the Klingon makeup design, the updated Andorian and Tellarite looks follow much more closely to the last time we saw each species back in Season 4 of Star Trek: Enterprise.
While the Andorians have some additional facial features and brow enhancements (replacing eyebrows with a forehead appliance) and the Tellarites appear to now feature stunted tusks around the cheek areas, each new design certainly feels much more like the races we know than the redesigned Klingon looks.
We’ll see much more of these new races tonight in “The Wolf Inside,” which debuts on CBS All Access and Space, and arrives on Netflix Monday.
