Star Trek: All Strange New Worlds characters ranked from worst to best
9. T’Pring
Sliding into our No. 9 spot is T’Pring. A unique character in the show, T’Pring offers a fascinating blend of cool reserve and understated passion. Portrayed with an elegant complexity by Gia Sandhu, T’Pring’s presence in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is like a rare comet streaking through the night sky – infrequent but impossible to overlook. She’s not just Spock’s betrothed, she’s an ode to Vulcan tradition and quiet rebellion.
Her every word as deliberate as a chess move in a game spanning light-years, T’Pring’s interactions are a dance of culture and emotion, revealing the layers beneath her serene exterior.
In this latest voyage of the Enterprise, we see her not just through the lens of Spock’s destiny, but as a character unspooling her own complex narrative thread. While her romance with Spock is destined to be star-crossed, it’s her soft-spoken, direct nature that captivates us – a portrayal that gives this enigmatic character a gravity that pulls us in, every time she graces the screen.
8. Nurse Christine Chapel
On the eighth spot in our cosmic leaderboard is none other than the medical marvel of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Nurse Christine Chapel. While she’s not steering the ship or engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Klingons, Chapel’s role is no less vital. Played with such wonderful energy by Jess Bush, Chapel brings a fresh and feisty twist to a character we first met all the way back in Star Trek: The Original Series.
Her transformation from a lovelorn caregiver to a resourceful medical genius in Strange New Worlds shows just how much space there is for character development in the vast expanse of this franchise. Her knack for bio-engineering – changing human DNA to alien – isn’t just impressive, it’s groundbreaking. And let’s not forget those tender yet complex moments with Spock. They’re filled with emotional gravitas that adds depth to both characters.
While she may not command every scene, Chapel’s moments of brilliance provide that spark of human warmth and ingenuity that is the lifeblood of Star Trek’s exploration of humanity’s future among the stars.
