Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 3 "Human Best Friend" sends
the Enterprise crew to pleasure planet Cesnar Grand where an intoxicating atmosphere produces a Hangover-style blackout comedy u with Captain Pike getting a face tattoo before peace negotiations, Spock hallucinating conversations with Kirk in scenes edging toward romantic subtext, and Number One performing a Klingon opera version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." The episode earns a 4 out of 10 for replacing competent Starfleet officers with punchlines in a ten-episode season that can't afford to spend a full hour undermining characters it needs the audience to trust. Three episodes in, Strange New Worlds Season 4 has borrowed from The Hangover, Event Horizon,
and Doctor Who u and has yet to produce a single hour that feels like Star Trek first.

Actually, they were singing an ancient Klingon blood sacrificial called "Totally Clips Off the Heart".

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 3 "Human Best Friend"
sends the Enterprise crew to pleasure planet Cesnar Grand where an
intoxicating atmosphere produces a Hangover-style blackout comedy u
with Captain Pike getting a face tattoo before peace negotiations,
Spock hallucinating conversations with Kirk in scenes edging toward
romantic subtext, and Number One performing a Klingon opera version of
"Total Eclipse of the Heart."

Actually, they were singing an ancient Klingon blood sacrificial called "Totally Clips Off the Heart".

I haven't been watching the show, but after the next episode you'll
probably be claiming episode 3 was great ... because episode 5 is the
idiotic puppet episode that completely destroys any remote semblance of believeability in the show thanks to the fools in charge having run out
of any sensible ideas. :-\

And there's still another entire season to go yet, so it's anyone's
guess what even lower levels of stupidity they'll sink to. Star Trek is
yet another once-great frasnchise that has been killed by talentless
idiots in charge trying to stuff their own pockets full of money. :-(

Sounds like CBS flipping the middle finger to the fans once again.
