Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Those Old Scientists (2023)
Best episode of the season
Ok, if you haven't watched Lower Decks yet, you need to stop and watch that series. Yes, Lower Decks is animated. Yes, it is very good.
We just watched Lower Decks earlier this year. There are 3 seasons so far. Each episode is about a half hour. Trust me, it's worth it. I am not sure this episode will make a lot of sense without watching Lower Decks first.
Two characters from the animated series interact with the Enterprise. No, they didn't do a Roger Rabbit thing here. They didn't mix live action and animation. I had heard about this episode a few months ago and was wondering how they were going to do it.
They really pulled it off. This episode was a BLAST. Very funny and a bit heart warming as well. Nice job directing Mr Frakes.

Therapy meets sci-fi
I am a big fan of sci-fi and also therapy. The two mixed? Could be interesting, too bad it's not here. The computer being sentient could be cool if it weren't so angsty.
My main complaint is when the plot doesn't make sense.
Why couldn't Michael go into the pattern buffer with everyone else?? Because they wanted to make a "cool" scene with the computer singing to Michal- a bold choice. It made no sense. I really hate when they so badly want a certain scene that they ignore logic.

Bad writing
So they needed to take pictures of the 12 to know who they were.
And then needed Marshall to track them when they just showed they could find them. Very poor writing.
