The new Star Trek, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, both go back to the standalone episodic model. And they are the best since DS9.
They have a DS9-style balance where there is an overarching story, but it's usually not the focus. The Lower Deckers are now Lieutenant junior grades.
Couldn't get into Lower Decks. Not interested in 'comedy' ST. As for SNW, I watch it, but not sold on it yet. I watched TNG episode "The Bonding" today. Nothing after ENT (S3 and S4) has approached the level of writing of that episode. Except maybe that one S2 episode of SNW. You know exactly what episode I'm talking about. It's the only episode.
The musical one!
Haha I refuse to watch that one. Cannot believe they wrote a musical for Star Trek. Ridiculous.
