Similar for rugby in Europe. I subscribed last year and only discovered on the first day of the league that I was only getting 50/60% of my team’s games in the domestic league, not to mention the other league.

I’d take any number of additional SNW episodes. It’s the best of the new series alongside lower decks.

I do like Strange New Worlds and feel that it captures the style and tone of classic 90s Star Trek, that most fans love, best. However, I think the number of whimsical episodes relative to the overall length of the season compared to the length of seasons from the 90s tips the balance too far. I haven’t crunched any numbers for this comparisons, it’s just vibes but even if the ratio was the same, in a shorter season I feel you need more serious episodes to maintain plot tension and character empathy.

The Irish accent goes the other way.
