‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Finale Sneak Peek: Does Pelia Have History With the Doctor?! (VIDEO)
Just how close are we going to get to that Star Trek and Doctor Who crossover we’ve been dreaming of on Strange New Worlds?! Well, in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, September 11, Season 3 finale, Lanthanite Pelia (Carol Kane) mentions a certain character…
Marie’s (Melanie Scrofano) back on the Enterprise, and it sounds like it’s just in time, too. She was gone for a week, “and Chris hardly knew what to do with himself,” M’Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) remarks to her. Ortegas (Melissa Navia) chimes in with, “He actually jumped back into test pilot drills voluntarily,” and La’an (Christina Chong) adds, “I heard him mutter something about yoga the other day?”
Pike (Anson Mount) interjects: “Laugh all you want, but yoga will take down the best of men.”
Marie is doing better; she started the season off battling a Gorn infection, but, as she points out, the Enterprise crew saved her with an experimental treatment.
Scotty (Martin Quinn) enters all dressed up for his first captain’s table. “I thought you said this was a formal affair,” he protests.
The Enterprise is giving Marie a ride back to Earth, so they can attend her promotion ceremony and, as Spock (Ethan Peck) points out, run much-needed ship-wide diagnostics. “The Enterprise has had a challenging few months,” he says.
Watch the full clip above to see what Pelia has to say about a certain time-traveling doctor.
This isn’t the first Doctor Who reference this season. In Season 3 Episode 6, “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,” a TARDIS — the Time Lord’s ship in which he travels through time and space — is spotted in the background.
In the Season 3 finale, “New Life and New Civilizations,” Paramount+ teases, “When an ancient, evil alien force re-emerges, Pike must make one of the hardest decisions of his life to stop the evil from spreading.”
What’s your theory about Pelia and the Doctor? Let us know in the comments section below.

I have waited over 30 years for the Doctor to pop up in Star Trek. I am not talking about Voyagers EMH either. It just depends on the version Pelia met.
If Star Trek and Doctor Who would do a Crossover. It Will Be EPIC. PLEASE do this. Please. Please. Please.

Pelia probably just watched Doctor Who in the 20th and 21st centuries, and is making a joke that only she will get.

true and it would not be the first time Star Trek and Doctor Who have crossed over since if you read the comics for TNG then you would see that the 11th Doctor was Present at The Battle of Wolf 359

Not a Doctor Who reference: the time traveling Doctor Pelia refers to is Emmett Brown from Back To the Future, played by Christopher Lloyd, who co-starred with Carol Kane in the TV series Taxi — smile

This season has me almost at the point of not watching anymore, like happened with Star Trek Discovery - did not watch the last two seasons of that, and I am a diehard fan of SciFy.
How do you compare this new series with the original show? Nowhere in the original Star Trek did the show degenerate into stupidity, as often happens with this new reiteration. Everyone gets a shot that turns them into Vucalns and they don't want to come back - give me a break. The last episode in 3 decides to take a trip down the what-if lane of the captain and his girlfriend, like anyone cared - she's dead? They need to get some proper writers instead of all these woke. I am going to change how everyone sees the world with smarmy, silly, non-Star Trek garbage.
But, this might just be me. If 4 starts off this bad, I will be gone.
