What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Space.com.
Hank LedgerSpace.com says the fourth season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was one giant gimmick, with episodes built on classic film genres and often adapted straight from the films.
Dale BearmanA show about boldly going, and it went exactly where other people had already been.
Hank LedgerThe episode list reads like a rental queue.
Hank LedgerLand of the Lost, Event Horizon, The Hangover, Casablanca, The Muppets, The Poseidon Adventure, The Hunt for Red October.
Dale BearmanThe Hangover. On a starship. Who's flying it?
Hank LedgerPresumably the one who didn't drink.
Dale BearmanFair, though the showrunner defended it. Akiva Goldsman told TV Line the original series always jumped around in genre, so ten episodes shouldn't match.
Dale BearmanThat's a good point, and a bad excuse.
Hank LedgerSpace.com also ties it to Paramount being bought by Skydance, though that's the writer's interpretation, not a confirmed fact.
Hank LedgerVulture critic Leah Marilla Thomas gave the season four out of five stars, saying it keeps balancing the silly and the serious to great effect.
Dale BearmanMy theory: the writers' room is one man with a streaming password, and he's on the second Muppets.
Hank LedgerThe puppets were from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, so somebody paid for original work. Season five is the last one.
Hank LedgerSeason five is the last one. Nobody's left to copy but season four.
