Strange New Worlds season 3

Does anyone else not care at all about his girlfriend though?

The first few episodes this season have been good but we have enough main characters without another whose only character trait is she’s banging Pike.
 
This was the one I thought I would like the most, but it felt like everyone else beat them to the punch, a parody of TOS has been done in futurma, galaxy quest, and black mirror twice, it feels too little too late, and to cap it off, they don't even commit to it, you get a bit at the start, and the end, but the rest of it played like knifes out crossed with murder she wrote.

And it this point Spock has got that much action he is the one who should have the nickname Bones

It was the deepest commentary I've seen on the Star Trek franchise since possibly Galaxy Quest. It really hit home on several points that aren't commonly discussed... for example how Roddenberry was fired from TNG production. It also managed to squeeze out one more "malfunctioning holodeck" story. I thought I was going to puke at first, but the twist at the end was saying more about modern day AI than anything else, so I managed to hold down breakfast.
 
It's been a long time since we've had a holodeck episode, so it was actually nostalgic. I enjoyed the reference to the "Recreation Room" from TAS and the ending making it canon that holodecks are a literal deathtrap so they weren't fully implemented until the 24th century (where they were still deathtraps!)

It's one of those episdoes where the cast get to play different characters so we get Jess Bush being Australian and Paul Wesley's doing a hilarous Shatner impersonation so that was fun. I did think maybe the murder mystery part went on too long. The twist was good because I was starting to think Spock seemed a bit different. And of course Christina Chong is great at everything.

Why is Spock constantly in romance storylines? I don't mind the idea of him getting laid all the time but it's weird that three seasons in that's been all he's got to do.

"Kirk" trying to do the Riker chair thing at the end was funny.
 
A couple of points:

Kirk trying the Riker Maneuver especially funny since Jonathan Frakes directed this episode.

Anyone else really dig Babs very close similarity to Jimmi Hendrix or maybe Clarence Williams III ?

I think Melissa Navia looked better with the wig.

Finally, any episode that opens with a shot up Jess Bush's skirt is okay with me.

Earth girls dig Vulcans because they have 2 penises. It's canon. It was in TOS. All the girls on the ship were fascinated by Spock.
 
This episode reminded me of a Star Trek Continues episode that fiddled with the early workings of a holodeck. Not to mention the callback to Elementary, My Dear Data from TNG with the command to create a scenario capable of challenging La'an. Both scenarios almost wrecked their respective ships. This was also a callback to Our Man Bashir from DS9 with the characters in the Holo-Novel resembling the crew, due to the transporter buffer usage. A lot of little easter eggs and love letters to fans that IYKYK people surely loved.

I'm with Wacky though. If Spock is getting this much Pon Farr, it's throwing off the timeline for his issue in Amok Time.
 
At first I was worried the entire episode would be 1969 Trek, but I was glad they did the La'an murder mystery. The ending was great. I can just imagine some of those things actually happening.

SPOCK AND LA'AN ARE HOT, OK.

lol

Don't forget those Dixon Hill vibes La'an was putting out. She makes a much sexier old timey detective than Picard.
