    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.

        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.)
