It always felt so forced and artificial to me, like they were looking at a stopwatch with a bunch of entertainment lawyers going "okay, better do a dick joke now so we can still claim 'Trek parody' instead of getting sued for blatantly doing bootleg Trek."
I like a lot of fanfic but Seth MacFarlane's just failed to grab me, and given how much I adore "Lower Decks" I'm glad the official comedy Trek job was given to those folks and not the "Family Guy" contingent.
