Has Star Trek jumped the shark?
ToS and TNG were always a bit cheesy but at heart they were morality plays and social commentary. I couldn’t get into much after TNG. I’ve been watching Strange New Worlds and it’s all right but the musical episode and some other bits were a bit too… campy?
But, a comedy? Is it becoming Galaxy Quest? The movie that mocked it?
Star Trek is just a setting at this point. Lower Decks proved you can do funny and respectful of the fans at the same time. I agree some of SNW's campiness is a bit over the top, but I'd rather a show spend time trying to do something different like a musical than be totally reliant on drama/action like Discovery (a show that was actually good on the rare occasion the cast could take a break from universe ending peril).
