That’s exactly what this was. This is absolutely 100% authentic to the original franchise. All the people who keep complaining they are “puking a little in my mouth” like a bunch of performative tween drama queens, while they keep hatewatching this show, moaning about canon and wokeness in the comments, have apparently purged from their minds the several painful OST and TNG episodes where Kirk or Picard went to a planet and were forced to re-perform the American revolution, got stuck in a Holodeck reality, etc. That writing was every bit as bad as this. These kind of episodes are one big long eewww for me. I sit through them, to make sure I don’t miss anything important to the season arc.
I was thinking about that too, while I was watching this ep, about how it had such a strong old ST feel to it, right down to the plot and to Pike over-hamming his parts, just like Kirk used to do. And yes, I too resisted fast forwarding thru it, afraid I’d miss something, waiting for it to get that silly part over with.
The coolness it had on its first run way back then is now mostly been replaced by feelings of familiarity and nostalgia.
