Short Treks is not a mainstream ST product. If you watch this episode, you'll believe it even more.
Star Trek overall has a serious undertone. The characters and stories do their best to pretend as if they are all real. Therefore, we don't see Star Trek telling too blatant jokes. But in this episode the "unthinkable" has happened: It satirizes itself and broke the fourth wall!
This episode is really funny. I mean really funny, albeit silly funny that completely feels out of place in Star Trek, in a even more blatant fashion than "The Escape Artist". The protagonist(I am not gonna spoil it) is totally a fool. He is the guy you see on TV who is extremely smart in his domain but otherwise, is...
Oh hell! How can I describe him? He's not Sheldon Lee. He is almost "sub-human" in his human capacities! Every word and every deed of him unwittingly becomes comedic relief. This kind of unrealistic characterization is definitely unseen in previous trek. I mean, he is fun. But this shouldn't be Star Trek, he'd be so much more fit in any comedy sci-fi cartoon.
The real blast comes post-credits. Still, i don't want to spoil what it is. I just want to say I laughed like a maniac and yelled"WHAT IS THIS???" so I had to get outdoors.
You may want to argue, if this ep was so interesting, why did I give this a 5/10? The episode had such interesting ideas and good production, but they were too much for Star Trek, which according to precedent should incorporate restrained humor. The moron prodigy character and silly-funny storyline would make a fantastic idea in Lower Decks. But now, they only made the ep felt like a fan movie that leaves us anxious about its potential harm to our trek legacy.

As much as I support any Star Trek, I feel the latest DIS suffering from melodramatic scenes plaguing the show. I think genuine emotions should carry a lot of weight, but to capture its gravity one must see its connection to real life, not one specific, GREEEEAAAAT event. It must be seen through the mundane and the subtle, not lengthy speech. DIS failed, because it brought all emotions outside the skull, showing us too much loud love confessions and tears, so what should be moving, becomes smothering.
Star Trek deserves better. Yeah, sure, this episode is proof that it has provided better. A man's whole life in three quarter hours? How is that possible?--Yeah, it is, when his whole life was just about one agenda, and all the heavy decisions he's made were about it.
What would you feel if you have lost a loved one? Surely you would grieve, but in time you would get over it. That is the normal case. But what if you know who's gone is never really gone, and there is a possible way to save him, albeit it would take a lifetime? Your hope will hinge on this unlikely solution, which forbade you the ability to forget and move on.
You are here, living, your love is gone, but somehow he still lives, and you know there exists a constant tether between you that transcends time and space. I say this is bad, far worse than death, because the fear of loss is so much crueler than loss itself. If you are ever to miss the chance to reclaim what's yours, you will live a life's regret. The prospect of that possibility constantly terrorizes you.
This episode is no space drama, change the basic settings and it would have worked in any franchise, because human sentiments are universal. We earned a chance to see a developing character at his fullest, whose capacity to love allowed him to look beyond life and death.
I did not cry, because I don't cry when watching TV. But I feel so shaken in my heart. The masterful direction and acting has "appalled" me. If only DS9 had the visual technology of DIS.
Well-timed silence and concise words carry feelings infinitely better than love speech.
