Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x08The Elysian Kingdom
I liked what they were trying to do - surreal, alternate reality type episodes are certainly an established Trek trope - but this probably would have worked better a few seasons in after the characters have been properly established; instead, this ended up being more surface level than it could have been. That being said, I'm still very much enjoying and appreciating the "classic Trek" style of Strange New Worlds, much as I can understand the desire to try something new and different in the Trek universe with Discovery and Picard.
