'Strange New Worlds' latest episode wastes a lot of time pretending to kill off major 'Star Trek' characters

The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, titled Off-Hour, transforms the series into a real-time action thriller. While the narrative creates a race against the clock, some critics argue the plot wastes time by pretending to kill off major characters. These critics suggest that the threat of death is diminished because established canon ensures the survival of these key figures, reducing the overall tension of the high-stakes scenario presented in the episode.
