    Infra dig satire is tough to watch

    Steve Martin pointed out: "Comedy is not pretty". Neither is this misbegotten Strange New Worlds segment, which begins with a quickie spoof of William Shatner in the original "Star Trek" (resembling a cross between B to Z sci-fi movies like "Queen of Outer Space" and "Plan 9 from Outer Space"), then segues to La'an starring in a very dull "holodeck prototype"spoof of B-movie murder mysteries and Hollywood exposes.

    The intentionally bad acting and abysmal writing here reminded me instantly of a hundred execrable porn-parodies, only without the sex. What could be more boring and insulting to watch? It's never amusing, only infantile, a product of an era where fan fiction has proliferated like kudzu.

    Brilliant

    This is definitely one of my favourite episodes! Not sure what kill joy here isn't enjoying something fun and light-hearted. The acting is brilliant, the characters are engaging and this episode was just hilarious. Even while creating a throw back type episode they still manage to move the storyline forward with an exciting ending! Strange New worlds has been the only Star Trek since TNG I genuinely look forward to watching. They don't try to add excessive amounts of misery and darkness trying to appear unique or edgy. I always finish the episodes looking forward to the next. Please please don't cancel this show ahead of time. Far too many Sci-fi shows get cancelled. SNW is up there with TNG in my books.

    I loved it!

    Strange New Worlds has become my favourite show & this most recent episode only confirmed this.

    I loved the theme, the costumes & Jess Bush (Nurse Chapel) speaking in her own Australian accent. The interaction between Uhura & Scotty was a nice touch also.

    Those who criticise SNW for having fantasy/musical/retro instalments really have lost the essence of the original Star Trek spirit. (Hint: they are always men - check out the FB chat groups & Reddit pages for examples). No-one is forcing you to watch! There are many more fans than detractors πŸ––

    I want to like it but I just don't

    I don't care too much about canon or tradition that must be adhered to but I do care about entertaining sci-fi. This episode and the rest of this season seem to be written and directed by committee. The actors themselves are doing a good job and showing different aspects of their personality but the sci fi part is lacking. Decent drama almost sitcom like, something you can watch at 7pm on a Tuesday night back in the day but does not satisfy the adventure itch.

    I understand the negativity but...

    ...I enjoyed this more than the musical episode. I like sci-fi and Star Trek is one of my favorites. But I am no means a die hard fan (of any show). SNW is a nice return of the original format of episodic adventures. What I liked about the episode was seeing the cast in a different light. However, I wished it continued on the parody that it started off with. It reminded me of SUPERNATURAL which it had some episodes off the path of their norm and some being quite funny (like the one where they were thrown into another universes and were their real life selves actors in a television). That could have kept the sci-fi aspect in throughout, albeit in 60's flavor and not a murder mystery show.

    Edit: almost missed the gag reel. That was hilarious.

      During the holodeck recreation, Jess Bush used her natural Australian accent for the holodeck character she was portraying.
    • Goofs
      The opening post-credits scene shows the Enterprise in front of the neutron star it is studying. The lines of the star's magnetic fields are clearly visible, however they should not be. Since this is an "outside" view of the star and the Enterprise, and not a sensor image seen on a screen, those lines would not be present as they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Just as the magnetic fields of the Earth and the Sun are not visible to the naked eye. A neutron star does have a vastly more powerful magnetic field, anywhere between a billion to a quadrillion times that of the Sun's, as such it is theorized the field lines might be visible to the naked eye when interacting with charged particles like from gases in a nebula, but this star is not in a nebula.
