I agree, I exaggerated out of frustration. The mood here, and the IMDB ratings, show that it’s really a hit with the fans.
I quite like the show, but I find it jarring how the tone shifts so dramatically between episodes.
Maybe if the goofiness had been spread over 20+ episodes of a season, it wouldn’t have felt that way. But 3/10 (out of 9, so far, I’m still hoping I can watch the last episode) just seems too high a ratio.

Welcome back to episodic story telling, you may not realize it but people leveled the same at TNG, VOY, and DS9, and when ENT tried to tighten things up with a more consistent tone people got bored and killed the franchise…

We’re looking at 5 out of 20 with season 1 and 2 combined 25% goof seems to be well within tolerable parameters. Pluss if this has been a 20 episode season as in the old days then like in the old days only half of them would be memorable and all the goofs would naturally be catagorized as memorable.
Complaining about season length as if it suddenly makes memorable episodes bad its just senseless whingeing.
