I'm guessing that that was being done on purpose to show that the new Holodeck had more than a few bugs to work out of it.
Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x04 - "A Space Adventure Hour"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Something about the in-universe Star Trek knockoff left me feeling incredibly empty and mildly depressed.
The episode didn't land with me, but huge credit to Paul Wesley for his work here; getting told "we want you to do a comedy Shatner impression" is pretty much the most nightmarish scenario for a new Kirk actor but he came out of it with his dignity well intact.
Not sure about the La'an/Spock stuff yet, give it time to grow I suppose.

Btw this whole discussion about "how can this be a holodeck", "it's way too different/same-y than the ones from TNG"/...
For the that's just normal prequel weirdness:
Did it bother me? Not really.
This is the point where one simply has to accept it's all fiction and canon will not always be 100% consistent with each other. They even put some handwaves into the episode.

Depends on if Batel had 2 weeks to avoid dying or being turned into a lizardwoman, meaning when they revisit that plotline the timeframe has to match up with Ortegas being on the bridge before her punishment was finished.
I liked the bit about the audience not accepting a female first officer . . .
Would have been more accurate if she referenced getting hired because they wouldn't hire the creators mistress.
Paul Wesley really does have the most impossible job of all on this show.
Yeah, even as the show as a whole is starting to lose me, I'm incredibly impressed with him. He keeps being given gargantuan tasks (play Kirk! wait, play an alternate Kirk! play Kirk in a musical! Play Shatner!) and he rises to the task every time.
If they do wind up doing their "Year One" thing, he's absolutely the one to lead the series.
I loved the meta commentaries on the franchise itself and what happened to it in the 60s. The speech about the show being able to last forever takes on a bittersweet irony after the announcement that SNW itself is ending prematurely.
It sure looked like the cast were having a lot of fun getting go hammy, dress up, put on voices or even stop putting on voices.
With the Edosian bartender playing the 60s alien I wonder if she's going to become this show's Doug Jones and do many creature feature roles.

"I heard there was an opening for a ship's physicist."Why, hello Mr. Sulu! What brings you to Enterprise?
Yeah,Ortegas can remain Helmsman for a bit.
(Although I wonder if they'd bring on a Gary Mitchell?)
Shortly after TOS Arena --
Subspace Fleetchat--
Spock: So today Captain Kirk and I began discussions for a lasting peace with the Gorn. I have some shore leave coming up, maybe we can meet up then?
La'an: You and Jim did WHAT??!!! You made peace with those MONSTERS? Then you just message me like nothing happened? We are DONE Spock, I hope you die horribly in your next Pon Farr because I'm NOT going to be around to help you out! You betrayed everything I ever believed in making peace with those monsters!!!

And Tony in the tub as Desi Arnez.
What if they pull a bait and switch like they did with Kirk and have WNMHGB Sulu be his brother? I guess it would be odd to do it twice.
No, Number One
Not my favourite episode. There seems to be a correlation between direct Kurtzman involvement and (in my opinion) good Trek. Season 3 SNW with Kurtzman more heavily involved is not doing it for me.
In case it's not been mentioned before there was no canon issue with the holodeck as it was introduced in TAS.

Surely she’s the final one?
I was thinking that the guy in the tub was more about the faceless executives at NBC that made the cancellation orders.
That wasn’t a holodeck in TAS. That was an environmental simulator. It could generate images but not smells etc.
