    Weeell, SNW is only on season 2 and we’ve already had an animated crossover, a musical episode, two characters doing Star Trek mythbusters, a double date sitcom setup with Spock and a renfair episode.

    SNW isn’t a self-parody, but it’s certainly aiming for TOS’ blend of camp and speculative sci-fi more than the “serious tone” of 90s Trek, if that’s how we want to describe it.

      Where did people get the idea that 90s Trek was serious?

      Do people not remember Lwaxana Troi? Q being Marvel’s Loki?

        I think this is because TNG had a very serious tone, and very ridiculous plots. Surface level they spent a lot of time adjusting shirts and trying to act prim and respectful with horns and orchestra in the background, then someone turns into a spider.

        I think this causes people to see different things in it.
