I love TOS, but it had 3 recurring plots: Kirk & crew visit planets that replicate some time period in Earth history, they encounter a society where a computer runs everything, or they confront a God-like being manipulating them. Some episodes also blended 2 of these plots together. #TOS

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Review
Addell and Gary are back! They take a look at Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in its entirety. The ten-episode series is a mixed bag, showing a decline in quality and consistency compared to the first two seasons. While some episodes highlighted the strength of the cast and introduced a potentially significant new antagonist, others are built on weak writing, wacky plots, and rehashes of stories or subject matter from previous Star Trek series. The season three finale is seen as a perfect example of the season as a whole: it delivered an emotionally satisfying conclusion to a leading character's arc. Still, it was marred by flawed, problematic writing, quirky episode ideas, and the rehashing of material from other Star Trek series, which wasted precious storytelling time in a season with 10 episodes.
