Was this Supposed to be PARODY? Star Trek Picard S03E02—We Laughed and Laughed and Laughed

The second episode of season three was so over-the-top that Mollie and the Old Man couldn't contain their laughter. Amanda Plummer elevated the ridiculous lines she was given to read, and was easily the highlight of this episode. Even Mollie is now convinced that this must be a holodeck program because such plentiful 'member berries and drama cranked up to 11 can't possibly be a serious attempt at writing proper Star Trek.
