Wasn't this supposed to be the spin off that took us back to star trek? After Dystopian trek and Geriatric Trek, we saw a little bit in season 1 of star treking.
This season, we're going to have had: Spock's comedy capers, a crossover with family guy and a high-school musical one-off.
We've gone from alien of the week to bad American TV genre of the week. Season finale is a mockumentary, The Office-syle, 4th wall breaking comedy. Cast members doing pieces to camera in fake interviews, Spock doing that look to the camera that whatever the attractive guy's name was did.
Yes, I too want the same old rehashes of 60s and 90s Trek plots so we can have full series burnout in record time.
Star Trek is a place to tell stories. Some of those stories involve weird shit. "Weird," as Janeway says to Kim after he comes from a cloned version of the ship where everyone he knows and loves just died in a self-destruct explosion, "is part of the job."
So the only options are: rehash old Trek plots or rehash wacky American TV tropes?
Has chatGPT really run dry this quickly?
