I think a person who thinks the new episode is “the best ever” is much more motivated to make a post than someone who thinks it was fine. The result: each episode has someone making a “best episode ever” post.
Comment on Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever

Notreadingthatnotreadingthatnotreadingthat because I haven’t seen it yet (woe is me). I’m just here to express my amusement about how lately every week we seem to get “the best Star Trek ever” ;D

It is a rather impressive run. I’m curious how long it can go before the typical “fan backlash” phase takes place.

The backlash is usually first for Trek, then when a new show comes out the last one is suddenly an underappreciated gem. Not sure what that means for SNW.

SNW is an anomaly in that it started as a spinoff to a show that was already contentious within fandom. Unlike previous iterations that began while another show was still on the air, SNW benefited from comparison to the already existing show. Fans were hungry for something different.

It helped that Discovery was such garbage, and the Pike/Enterprise plotline showed us what could have been instead of what was. SNW was the show we wanted when all we had was Discovery. And now it's great to see that they seem to have recovered that lost magic.

We are well into/towards the end of season 2 of SNW, and fans have generally been loving it. I think it’s fair to say that SNW has been and will likely be successful for a while. SNW certainly has one of the best first seasons (along with Lower Decks).
