I have no problem with an episodic show, but I think an episodic Trek-like has problems. It just isn't plausible that a starship can come inches from destruction every week. The crew would wind up severely traumatized. If space travel were that dangerous, interstellar society would collapse. And it's implausible that they discover some Amazing Thing (like time travel) that should totally shatter their conception of reality and then forget about it in time for the next episode.
