Didn’t we just have a time travel episode?
Hey at least we’re not dealing with time travel season arcs like Enterprise did.
vulcan science directorate determined that time travel is impossible!
We did and we will have another one. How cool is that?
Maybe the writers are stuck in a time loop and keep writing the same things over and over again without realizing it.
(It also wouldn’t surprise me if an actual time loop episode is in the pipeline — SNW seems to be recycling all the other plots we’ve already seen on other Trek shows.)
Ya know I love both shows, I really do. And I’m excited about this episode.
I just wish SNW wasn’t leaning so heavily into the comedy. I don’t need to go all deep and dwell on social issues every episode either, but SNW is trending more to the silly than the serious and I hope they correct course before it kills the show. You can’t do both well. Or at least most who try fail.
You can’t do both well.
i don't even know where you get that premise, but yes, you can. have you seen orville?
