mtbc | Cross-season cliffhangers, again

Now Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back with us, I was reminded by the first episode that apparently something is going on. Lots happened and we are in the middle of something and I forgot so much that I didn't even realize we were still with the … well, the relevant alien race. As it is, I started off mostly being happy that I kind of recognized most of the regular crew and had half an idea who most were. At least it mostly made sense as it went on.

Regular readers will know that this isn't the first time I've mentioned this issue. It's been happening at least as far back as the first season of Star Trek: Enterprise which they ended in the middle of some plot involving time travel and changing the timeline and whatnot which I had no hope of jumping right back into so very many months later. Still, goodness, why are the programme makers still doing this? Or is it just me who starts the new season finding myself in the middle of some long-forgotten multi-threaded plot?

At least, the consolation is that, had such shows been cancelled, I wouldn't have been troubled by the lack of resolution because I didn't remember what was going on anyway.
