"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 3 is over, and the show remains surprisingly strong. His creatives did a wonderful job in researching each of the main characters of the series during the season, giving every little arc that was explored from the start of the season 3 to the final. In particular, Captain Pique (Anson Mont) was given a fantastic romantic foil in Captain Batel (Melanie Scrophano), while Erika Ortegas (Melissa Pravija) had to fight with a period of PTSD. And while some may not like the amount of romance that Spack (Ethan Peck) has experienced, I feel that he is dealing with tactics. However, there was a tonal question that deserves discussion.

During its running so far, "strange new worlds" have been disassembled to the episodic structure "Crisis of the Week". This, among other things, allowed the series to be empty in tone. One episode can be a horror story of eerie antique spirits that own the crew of the company, while another may include the company being swallowed by a massive ship that looks like it escapes from the Javi Metal magazine. Similarly, several episodes of the show were completely comical, widespread with social discomfort and romantic misunderstandings.

Indeed, looking back during season 3, three of her 10 episodes were direct comedies. In the episode "Wedding White Blues", the unclean deity (Reese Darby) forces Spack and Nurse Chapel (Ess Bush) to think they are for love. Also in the episode "Space Adventure Hour", The company is recreated at Holodek For a strange mystery of murder. Then, there were "four and a half volcanoes", with four crew crew members being biologically replaced in the volcanoes, leading to Zani's inconvenience. Even elements of "Seklat who ate the tail" as a comedy can be considered, as engineer Pelia (Carol Caine) was forced to cover fixed phones in the company's communication systems.

These episodes are fun, of course, but it can be noticed that the whole third of the season 3 are early comedic. Indeed, it feels like "strange new worlds" have been pushed to the line when it comes to how much comedy can handle.

This does not mean that the Star Trek franchise should not include humor. Away from that; Only the "original series" had a very great comedic episodes that are now considered classics. There was a "leaving on the shore", which featured Starflit officers who communicate with Samurai, Knights and the White Rabbit from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". And Then there was "trouble with the ripples", An episode with a strange infestation of cute venues. Jack, even "Old Trek: Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" occasionally include comedy episodes. "The next generation", for example, turned the crew of the company to the Robin Hood characters for the episode "QPID", while the episode "Take me out in the Holosuit" was resting from the heavy military drama of "Deep Space Nine" to collect the characters together.

No, the comedy has its place in "Star Trek", and it is good that "strange new worlds" bravely experimented with episodes of fairy tales, body exchange episodes and musical episodes. The tone of "Strange New Worlds" is, when compared to the other series "Star Trek", complemented by the unbearable ease of being, so it is only to devote to more episodes of shenanigans that include Loveube, slap, and even A crossover with the animated comedy in the workplace "Star Trek: Lower decks".

The problem is, we are now dangerously close to "Strange New Worlds" that are taking place from being a scientific show with comedy elements to be a comedy show set up in the scientific universe. Indeed, it feels like the series approaches and closer to resembling Seth McFarlin's comedy "Old Trek", "Orville" with every passing episode. Ironically, Orville himself went in the opposite direction, pushing closer and closer to being a direct "Star Trek" face and away from her fur, comical origin. At this point, "Orville" and "Strange New Worlds" are essentially a diagram that overlaps Wen.

It's not that there is too much comedy on "Strange New Worlds" ... But we are Aaaaaaaaal until that point.

It is worth remembering that from the 1960s to the mid-2000s, the "Star Trek" plays were mostly represented in seasons of 26 episodes. They ran weekly from autumn - usually starting from September - until May. Their writers had to come up with dozens of stories and tend to clear up closely to the episodic structure, as it was more comfortable on the deals and repeated union deals. When there were 26 episodes a year, it was bearable to have three or four comic picnics in the mixture because it allowed a break in the routine. The characters of the Star Trek franchise tend to be hard and professional, and the audience usually sees them when they are on the clock, commanding stars. The mood was formal and intelligent.

Then, the episodes of the comedy became exceptions from "Releasing Hair Down". Trees tend to love them for this reason. They were special to their rarity.

But the modern series "Star Trek" - ie. Streaming shows that have been premiered since 2017 - have shorter seasons. With only 10 episodes every time around, "weird new worlds" have far less off the road and tell stories. After three seasons, in fact, "weird new worlds" barely surpassed the episode for one season of the series before 2017 Star Trek. So far, there have been eight miraculous episodes of the show's comedy so far, which is almost a third of its 30 episodes. Can you imagine the "next generation" season that sporting eight or more episodes like "QPID?"

In essence, when the comedy episodes become commonplace, they are no longer exceptions to the rule. To be clear, so far there have been more humorous episodes of "strange new worlds", largely, well -made, well -considered and pretty good for lifting. But they would sing much louder if there were 16 additional episodes of science-themes in one season. Trek as a comedy, but we definitely push the id.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is moving to Paramount+, with Season 4 expected to premiere in 2026.
