Wow. The “writing” in this series…

With writing like this, it's the studios that should be on strike.

No, what show have you been watching? The consequences/emotional effects, carry foreward, that is to say, characters dont get amnesia every week, but the stories are definitely stand alone.
It’s serialized storytelling that is being described.
I’m not saying that’s right or wrong; it’s just an observation regarding what the series was originally described to be. Maybe I’m missing something…

Also this quote:
"Henry Alonso Myers and myself are trying to serve that… Strange New Worlds is very much adventure-of-the-week but with serialized character arcs." Akiva Goldsman, April 12, 2021
But this was before season one started, so I can't say they originally described it differently. Data had a character arc but that doesn't make TNG serialized.

Finished, but took two bites. felt a very dated story and not as good as previous. The only other one I skipped was the season one ep where they went all mediaeval fantasy. Looked boring

Yup...it cooked every ship it came in contact with.
Preferably this...the sooner the better.
Maybe use this as a good point to introduce Sulu?

Like McCoy was in TOS when he makes xenophobic comments about vulcans? Or the times he was openly insubordinate when Spock was in command?
That’s a false equivalency on a lot of levels, my friend; let’s be honest…
I am trying to recall any episode where Chekov or Sulu back-talked whomever was in the center seat…at most they may have respectfully voiced healthy challenge to an order, in a respectful way that was in-line with military protocol, but never did they demonstrate the lack of professionalism displayed by Ortegas…or the SNW bridge crew overall.

Being openly insubordinate to your superior officer and openly making bigoted jokes at their expense is far more egregious than being casual and jokey with a superior officer. However, both were tolerated, and to pretend like the one isn't worse than the other is dishonest.

This week’s episode… “Human Goofball Spock”.
Best. Star Trek. Episode. Ever.
