Well it definitely was hilarious but I would also have been open for some quality Klingon opera

However, the message of Trek also is that not all change is good, already evident in the M5 episode of TOS. There's no shame in taking a step back if the prior state was superior, which some think it is (with regard to the 20 episode scheme)

How did it feel rushed? We had a new adventure every week that was largely unrelated to the previous one, and character development was distributed all throughout the season. The only thing I felt was rushed were some of the episodes like the one with the tower (Among the Lotus Eaters) where the resolution to the conflict came very surprisingly and abruptly, but longer seasons wouldn't have changed that.

Yeah Spiner's acting in that episode is great, it's a bit ridiculous and over the point but I believe that that was intentional, and I am not holding it against the episode

Wow thanks, that really explains well why the modern shows respect (at least some of) "beta canon" more than what I would expect. A natural consequence when some of the authors sit in the writer's room :)
