“Wedding Bell Blues” may present itself as a comedic interlude, but its script struggles with structural coherence. Unlike the tighter pacing of “Hegemony, Part II,” this episode feels blocky and uneven—its tonal shifts more jarring than fluid. Yet in its messiness, it still gestures toward Star Trek’s ongoing experiment with genre and character elasticity, even if the execution falters.
