Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 9 promo reveals the show's latest genre exercise u a fantasy-themed episode that continues a season where the
writers have confirmed their approach is to treat each episode as a
different genre rather than Star Trek storytelling. Season 4 has already produced a predestination paradox episode, an Event Horizon horror homage,
a Hangover comedy, a Casablanca noir, a puppet dream sequence episode, a
Days of Our Lives soap opera, a moral ambiguity thriller, and now a fantasy episode u with one episode remaining before the season finale. The pattern
the SNW writers described in interviews as intentional is now complete
across nine episodes, none of which have produced original Star Trek storytelling in the franchise's penultimate season.

The first few episodes of the first year were so exciting/promising that it would be good old real Trek.

The creators must have gotten scared that it might be successful.

These are different times, I guess.

They simply quickly ran out of any sensible ideas, like most shows
these days do. :-(

It's funny that this show has short seasons and still have to put many fillers. :(

Well, TOS did this too but had way longer seasons.
