The hook of that episode is that you don't know they are in the bubble. But with this one you new when the clown appeared that is was a total copy. They didn't put their own spin on it. Since it relies on the surprise hook that was blatantly obvious it was a bad episode.
It's really a spoof only when in points out the absurdity of the Star Trek universe. I would argue it's more of a stand alone sci-fi morality comedy. It was sold as a spoof but really it's an homage. So if lifting a plot it needs to provide commentary are the Star trek universe about why it's absurd. Like the Data stranded with kids episode was great.
So my complaint is that this was a blatant rip off without adding anything or skewering any star trekisms.
