Matt and Sean talk about the gimmick episode that finally lands in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 7, "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass." Trelane traps the crew inside a soap opera, and only Pike knows something is wrong. Matt calls it a breath of fresh air after the puppets. Sean gives it a C plus and pitches the second draft he wishes they'd made.

Matt and Sean talk about one of the best Star Trek episodes in years in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 6, "Off-Hour." A disaster hits the Enterprise in real time, and every crew member fights to save the ship. After a season of gimmick episodes, this one leaves them with a hard question. If the show can do this, why doesn't it do it every week?

Three of the first five episodes this season are gimmick episodes, and Matt has had enough. Matt and Sean talk about the puppet hour, and what a 10 episode season can afford, in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 5, "Level Five Transporter Accident." The puppets are beautifully built and the jokes land, but the dream reveal arrives in the final two minutes with no setup. So is this a charming lark? Or is it 45 of the season's 450 minutes spent on a sketch?

Matt and Sean talk about how Strange New Worlds keeps borrowing other genres in Star Trek SNW Season 4, Episode 4, "A Case of Chiaroscuro." A musical, a horror hour, and now film noir shot in black and white. Matt calls it Andor filtered through Doctor Who, and he means that as a compliment and a complaint at once. Sean argues the story earns the style, from Una's con at the end to La'an's quiet unraveling in sickbay. Pike also climbs the captain rankings along the way. So is genre play the smartest tool this show has? Or is the peanut butter getting into the chocolate?
