I agree, though I'm still wondering who thought it was a good idea to turn Pike into Martha Stewart in the second season; he spends more time in his quarters cooking than Captaining the ship. But then, considering the "Lower Decks" tie-in last week and this week's musical episode, I think the show may have gone completely off the rails and won't find it's way back.

I think what's happening is that the entire franchise has decided to be completely self conscious about "being Star Trek" as opposed to creating a coherent fictional universe that happens to be presented under the name "Star Trek." In other words -- Meme Trek.

I think it's a refreshing change, so long as it's mixed in with some more traditional Star Trek-style episodes.
Look at the ToS trible episode. Quite frivolous, yet one of the most mostly positively talked about episodes in the franchise.

There's been discussion, both positive and negative, in various places about the new SNW episode 'Subspace Rhapsody.'
In short, I thought it was brilliant.
It had the potential of being wrong in so many ways, but was woven together to combine character history and development, while serving the plot of the story line. And anything that was silly was silly in the right places.

And back to the BS-things:
Why the Shrike had no deflector shields active, when torpedoed by the Titan??

That whole storyline irritated me. It's well established that changelings don't even NEED ships.

Wow, I never noticed, before!
In TNG 1x26, the Ralph Offenhaus speech to Picard, about "all about power" could be a reminescence to Orwells 1984!
I mean, Offenhaus meant power by money, but basically the same thing to "direct destiny", as he said.
No question, that Gene Roddenberry may had a reminescence in mind.
