These complaints that the new Trek is too silly or ridiculous are those who never really watched ToS. Or just view it through crazy levels of nostalgia. There was some downright weird shit!
That said, even without the precedent, the screwball episodes of SNW are awesome.
I suspect the viewership is small, their run is nearly over, and the creators are in a mood to do whatever silly things that take their fancy. Fun, in spirit, but de gustibus non est disputandum, I guess.
Many low effort, filler episodes in this season. One episode they’re muppets, another they’re on a TV soap opera…
they were all fun
I haven’t watched in a while, but what you’re saying sounds like star trek is now basically community with phasers instead of paintball guns
Strange news worlds have been leaning into that lately, about half the episodes are more like Star Trek, the other half is fun genre playing.
let me know when they do their anime episode
you fucking asshole!!!
they just cancelled the show, there’s not going to be another season.
and now I really want that episode that will never happen!!!
There’s one more season after this one. Season 5 will be the last.
I, too, thought they were all fun. Especially the musical.

They’re anti-whimsy and I won’t stand for it. I am vehemently pro-whimsy.
My one and only complaint about the puppet episode is that they tried to dismiss it as a dream. An unnecessary concession to the anti-whimsy crowd!
As am I!

I’m sad to say that I found the whole thing to be a low effort, filler series.
