TOS was pretty goofy— ya know, when it wasn’t pure sci-fi horror. it was also gruesome and scary as shit sometimes! SNW does a good job of capturing the goofy tone specific to TOS, although Trek has always had a pretty goofy streak. You can easily find it in every series!
I think that's a point that a lot of people miss. SNW is much closer in tone to TOS than it is to the Berman era of Star Trek. 90s Trek was much more stiff and serious compared to TOS. And SNW brings back that lightheartedness and playfulness of the original Star Trek. Not just in its comedy episodes but in general.
