Well, good news for me: I rewatched this and enjoyed it a fair bit more than I did this morning. It was a 4, but now it’s a 6. Still my least fave of the season thus far, but I got a lot more out of it the second time, once my expectations had been recalibrated.
I approve of the comedy but I don't like the writers introducing Star Trek's biggest writing crutch, the holodeck malfunction, that wasn't supposed to exist for a hundred years.
It's like "Hey you know that hackneyed writers contrivance that produced a lot of mediocre episodes and maybe 2 good ones in the 90s? Let's be derivative of that instead of writing something original."
The cold intro and all the meta references to the politics of the original show were great, but the mystery storyline wasn't nearly interesting enough for the crutch to work.
And frankly Captain Proton was a better parody of old timey scifi than Last Frontier. Last Frontier was just Trek mad libs.

It's a Flash in the pan, that's for sure.
Once again TAS had a "Re-creation" deck.
We know what you’re doing here, Buster.
Ah AH!
*takes off Spock/Chapel hat, puts Spock/La'an hat on*
As has been pointed out the holodeck did exist in TAS. Holography existed in ENT for training exercises as well as the Xyrillian environmental simulator. Discovery also had limited holography for combat simulations.
What we see here is why the holodecks have their own power cores and dedicated computers as has been mentioned a few times in later shows. It does slot quite well in between what has already been seen. Considering holosuites as they were in TNG were standard in like the 2330s.
Plus in this prototype version the entire ship needed to use all its power and be hooked up to a monitor La'an was wearing just to keep up with her commands yet 100 years later it can just create a sentient hologram to rival Data on a whim so it's certainly not the same technology we see in the 24th century.
In such a short Spa’an, you’ve got a new ship on La’ockdown.
- TNG era "Super Tight Continuity" -
It wasn't perfect but Rahul is right it was much better. SNW has glaring and obvious continuity/canon problems. Ones that can't be explained easily.
Yeah they are drawing from the TOS and TNG wells too much this season.
Six episodes left. Hopefully they'll be more interesting.
That's not what hemmer said in snw. It said anything foreign was immediately filtered
What is Spock and La'an's relationship name anyway? Sp'an? La'ock?
Spock has constant Pon Farr in this timeline........
La'ock sounds better to me.
sigh , they're wasting way too many episodes on goofy comedy. That's fine when you have 26 episodes but they only have ten.
The old Trek shows had silly episodes , but they also had much longer seasons so they could get away with it.
I do hope for some 'strange new worlds' for the remaining six episodes this season
