This cross-over episode sucks, I'm even writing this while watching it, there is no good reason to have had this insipid script.
They snuck it on to the stream on a Saturday Night, no doubt this is the night Upper Deckers (oh wait, Lower Decks) airs.
Like many, we only noticed it when looking for the Thursday show and thought there was a listing error when Upper Deckers cartoony look introduced the episode.
Cross-over time travel episodes blending a goofy cartoon series with a serious non-cartoon series pose immense risks. These audacious endeavors can disrupt the consistency of tone and character development. They risk alienating audiences by juxtaposing comical, fantastical elements with the grave and grounded realism that non-cartoon series typically embody. Furthermore, the leap from 2D animations to live-action characters can feel incongruous, creating an immersion-breaking experience. Conclusively, such cross-overs should be avoided to preserve the integrity of both series.
