So Strange New Worlds is Community now?
Not complaining or praising, just wondering.

The gimmick episodes will continue until ratings improve, I guess?
It'd be fine if we didn't get only 10 episodes per season nowadays.

Ratings are irrelevant, they’re already cancelled. Not sure exactly when they learned that, but definitely by season 5 we’ll be seeing what happens when they have nothing to lose.

The Greatest Trek had a great line in last week's episode: "I don't mind all the genre episodes, I'd just like one of the genres to be Star Trek."

This episode better be at least on par with the musical episode, or I will be sad

I like muppets, but the musical will be hard to beat. I’ll be happy if it’s as good as the fairy tale episode.

If it manages that level I would consider it a minor miracle.

I think that I can almost enjoy how much people are getting bent out of shape by this on other social media. (I confess to scanning a few of the comments under that TrekMovie article.)

star trek is serious business

I hate to be pessimistic but I'm dreading the hell out of this episode.
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website · 6 pts · 8d
More than most episodes, I don't think there's much space between "home run" and "faceplant."
billmason@startrek.website · 5 pts · 8d
Exactly! And this season to date has me tilted heavily toward "faceplant".
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website · 2 pts · 8d
I'm definitely enjoying the season more than you, but there's a high degree of difficulty here nonetheless.
billmason@startrek.website · 7 pts · 8d
Yes, you clearly are then. If this episode is a dud I'll have slid overall into Discovery levels (sorry DIS fans) of "I watch to be in my favorite universe for a hour and to keep up on the lore, but I have no expectation of being wowed by what I see" mode for the rest of the run, quite likely.

Ah yes, I remember that Angel episode. That was a creative idea, 22 years ago.

This isn't even Star Trek's first trip to the well.

Well, true. LDS played it well, though. Seeing how this is the second time that the SNW writers rip off old Joss Whedon episodes from the early aughts, I'm less forgiving.

Am i crazy or did SNW already do a puppet episode? I swear I've seen this already from one of the past seasons (or perhaps DSC?)

None of the live-action series have done one, but the images have been floating around since...July 2025, I think.

My suscription is soon to end, I will not pay an entire month just to watch "31 minutos" or "The Muppets" in Star Trek.
I sound reasonable or sound like a hater?
