Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - The RANDY Awards: Category VII, Season Two

 Category VII this year is Outstanding Make-Up Design.  It was a hard, if not the hardest decision to make out of the season.  I wanted one episode to standout, but instead I had three that just kept dancing around one another.  In the end I chose the season opener "The Broken Circle."  

The episode comes with lots of horseshoe crab-foreheaded Klingons which is no small feat if no longer uncommon.  Fight sequences gave "wound" make-up opportunities, and then being frozen--if only temporarily--in outer space turned both Dr. M'Benga and Nurse Chapel into very believable popsicles.

"The Broken Circle" was written by Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman.  It first aired on June 15, 2023.
