I thought this episode was great.
TOS had the "Well I guess we have these ren fair/gangster/whatever costumes and set, how can we write a script about this" episodes.
TNG & Voyager had Holodeck episodes.
Most series throw in a few episodes that are "Star Trek crew, but...(Insert weird genre here). Usually they are terrible, but SNW put their tongue firmly in their cheeks and made a pretty good episode that really played around with the trope.
Chong, Mount, and (don't know the actor who plays Hemmer), all did amazing, I legitimately laughed out loud a few times.
They advanced some plot, got their weird fantasy episode out of the way, and made me laugh.
All in all, pretty well done.
Half a season in, and I already know more about every crew member than anyone other than Michael in Discovery.
I'm really loving this show.
