Finally caught up with Strange New Worlds s02e07 (yes, I'm a bit behind). I can't deny I enjoyed watching this, it was funny, and occasionally wise. Kind of like The Orville. In fact, almost exactly like the Orville, and therein lies the problem. It was parody, and worse, it was fan-fic presented in the real bottle.

To be clear, I'm not against people making parodies or fan-fics of Star Trek, as long as they're not passing themselves off *as* Star Trek. If I want to watch a parody, I'll watch The Orville, or Space Quest, which are hilarious. Or I could watch Lower Decks, although I don't due to the first episode being cringeworthy drivel.

There's plenty of great fan-fic too, like the Star Trek Continues series, which is better than some of the sloppier episodes of ST:TOS itself.
