When La'an tests the prototype of the holodeck, everyone plays different characters in a simulation based on a detective series — and in a 'Star Trek' knockoff.

34 years later, Strange New Worlds has finally cleared up that mystery by confirming that Spock was actually referring to Arthur Conan Doyle rather than his creation, Sherlock. Never mind that Doyle didn't have any directly descended grandchildren of his own, which means Spock couldn't actually be related to him – it's still fun to pretend.

La'an Noonien-Singh was able to put the Gorn behind her in the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it didn't take long for the Paramount+ series to find her a new storyline. The lieutenant seems to have entered a spicy new romance with one of her colleagues on the ship, though I'm not sure how I feel about it.
