So the omnipotent "Adversary" is trying to keep them from saving the universe... I don't know. Seems like that should be a pretty trivial thing to manage for an all-powerful being. It must be some-powerful instead.}}

Adding on to what I wrote above yesterday: The sitcom stuff works especially well here. Any show could do a "we're in a sitcom" episode (somebody probably had to talk the [[Star Trek: Strange New Worlds|Strange New Worlds]] writers room out of it it), but those shows aren't spun off from a standard sitcom. So their version of sitcom reality would just be a gag, whereas here they were actually able to incorporate things from their parent show like the animated atom scene transitions.
 
Also worth noting that at the end when they're leaving the TV set, we can see posters for fake shows like "Young Leonard" which is enough to tell us they're still in a world that's not intended to be like our real world.}}
