I hope so. I loved the first 2 seasons, but a lot of season 3 just didn’t seem to make sense.

I hope they stay more in the sci- side of sci-fi. Those last episodes were bollocks.
Honestly, it can hardly be worse than any season of Discovery or Picard. I quite liked a good chunk of Strange New Worlds.
Picard was a new show every season, each season completely ignoring the last.
Season 1: Pilot for a new show with a whole new crew. AKA "Let's fix the mess we made with Nemesis and the JJ movie".
Season 2: Nuke the entirety of the "new crew adventures" from season 1, including most of the cast, and turn the show into Galactica '84 with an awkward shoehorned romance. Only highlight was Q's send off. AKA "We needed a series ending, but we fucked it".
Season 3: Once again we treat the prior season as if it didn't even happen. This is the show most people actually wanted Season 1 to be. AKA "TNG Season 8". Unfortunately they once again got greedy and finished the series with a setup for a new series that will never happen...again.
You can watch any season independently and be ok. Such a weird show.
Season 2: Nuke the entirety of the “new crew adventures” from season 1, including most of the cast, and turn the show into Galactica '84 with an awkward shoehorned romance. Only highlight was Q’s send off. AKA “We needed a series ending, but we fucked it”.
Season 2, and really any Sci-Fi or fantasy that abandons its own setting to travel to "our world" in time or dimension, is doing it either for budget reasons or because somebody wanted or needed to mail it in. With COVID, it could have been "all of the above."
It might be my terrible memory, but have any producers ever promised that they will make the upcoming season worse?
I enjoyed season 3. It wasn't the best and I wasn't hooked, and the last episode felt rushed, but overall it was entertaining. S1 and S2 were great, and they have a valid reason for S3 being a bit iffy.
Looking forward to S4 and 5. SNW has been the best trek in a very long time.
The last few episodes made no sense. Oh this magical energy thing invaded a crew member. Ok he's dead that was quick. Then boom he miraculously cloned himself and then traveled through a Stargate and the whole danger was wrapped up in 20min.
It would be easy to solve: Don't write 11 episodes of character development, with 5 minutes in the last episode showing a looming threat.
I couldn't get through season 2.
