Far more animated animation this time. Spoilers.
If you let go of the idea that this is anything other than Tom and Jerry set on the Enterprise you can enjoy this episode. There’s a lot of callbacks to various bits of Discovery and TOS, some good fun Warner-style animation and hijinks, and a fairly nice little story. If you’re looking for ‘internal timeline that makes sense’ you will have a harder time. To my mind it’s a good example of the kind of fun you can have if you let the Short Treks go a bit wild.
