I was watching the Blacklist (starring James Spader), they've aired S7 E19: The Kazanjian Brothers in the midst of a pandemic back in 2020 (during production, they can't film at some sets at the time when COVID was still relevant (understandable) so there's a disclaimer at the start of this particular episode, those parts will be animated with voice overs from the actors, however the animated segments are horrible with crappy lip sync.

There were scenes where live action parts were filmed, at times had to work remotely with actors recording their lines linking those with their animated avatars (live filming was halted at the time). The narration opted for a combined approach of using both live action (for parts they managed to record prior) and graphic novel style animation (for parts that can't be recorded on location due to the temporary closure of the set).

because it's top of mind, so many Strange New Worlds episodes in seasons 3 and 4. The first two episodes of season 4 were:

spoiler

time travel to cretaceous era earth. Turns out Enterprise caused the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.
fever dream horror episode. no real sience fiction content whatsoever, just random visions and the away team being driven crazy.

I've only seen episode 1 of the new season but yeah that was a weird one

Same here at episode 1. I think it was perfectly in line with star trek, but it was certainly odd as the season opener especially with the modern release schedule of 1-2 years between seasons.
