Let's recap this season's episodes:
1. The TNG episode where Riker boinks an alien scientist to get out of captivity on a world they checked out because it was getting close to warp flight.
2. Straight up Yonada Episode with TNG's Edo god thrown in for good measure.
3. PSI 2000 and its TNG retread all over again.
4. It's written around the Wrath of Khan space battle, but with the Gorn instead of Augments.
5. Yet another body swap episode, because that trope has only been done to the point there are entire shows worth of it.
6. The Stargate episode where a planet harvests nanites from genius level children's brains to spread the knowledge they've acquired studying their fields of interest.
7. TNG's Starship Mine, (the Die Hard ripoff), but Picard didn't come back to get his saddle.
8. TNG's trope of powerful aliens befriending a child and shaping reality to please them.
9. Aliens, with a pinch of salt and a ton of Andromeda's Magog
10. Balance of Terror, but with a fleet scene to have the obligatory space battle that caters to the lowest common denominator ever since DS9 made the space battle of the week a thing.
It's nice to watch thanks to the execution, but at some point you have to wonder when they'll stop rehashing someone else's adventures and start doing their own.

For those who haven't been paying attention, JJ Abrams is a fraud who's built his career on "adapting" the work of others, and Bad Reboot/Secret Hideout regularly do the same thing. They can't create anything new that has legs, so they just remix and mashup the works of their betters. They acquire franchises, give them a new coat of paint, and run them into the ground before moving on to the next one. They're like locusts.
"Plagarism" might be too kind a word. Of course, the audience they cater to has neither the historical knowledge or the attention-span to notice or care.
They lie, cheat, and steal, and yet people still blindly support them.
