    Is this real? Do I need to start watching star trek now?

    Yes it's real. There's an episode in which they all get changed to muppets.

    Spoiler: they end up using the second cheesiest trope to explain it away: it was all a dream.

    Cheesy, yes, but I was relieved that it wasn't canon. I really like SNW and I don't have anything against silly episodes in general, but there have been too many for the short seasons. You can do a few when there are 20+ episodes a season but 3-4 in a 10 episode season is way too much.

    From the looks of this, maybe it was actually a level 10 one - affection the whole crew!!!

    One of the worst episodes of Trek ever. I was fairly impressed with episode 2 though, solid space horror. I'd been down for more of that.

    Strange New Worlds is a very odd rollercoaster ride and that's what I love about it. You need some silly episodes to recover from the very dark ones.

    The only episode I couldn't finish was the musical one. But only because I can't stand musicals in general. I just read the plot online instead. ^^

    Many low effort, filler episodes in this season. One episode they're muppets, another they're on a TV soap opera...

    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.

    I, too, thought they were all fun. Especially the musical.

    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.

    They’re anti-whimsy and I won’t stand for it. I am vehemently pro-whimsy.

    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.
