This was such a fun episode. I so enjoyed all of the male and female vocalizations. It was as campy as the TOS episodes could sometimes be, but I loved it. Definitely on my rewatchable episode list when in a light mood.

@ValueSubtracted
Subspace Rhapsody is the greatest episode in all of Star Trek canon.

I will die on this hill.

Edit: cannon -> canon

Well that episode was certainly.....uh......something. Lol.

Don't get me wrong I loved it, but in that "oh God it's happening again" laughing my arse off kind of way.

Also, whoever wrote the lyrics to the first song "All Systems Stable" really made a banger.

I don't generally enjoy musicals (or rather, shows that aren't musicals but then do a random episode as a musical) but SNW definitely did it right! And I'm glad I didn't skip it since I considered doing so.

Ok I love musicals so was definitely looking forward to this one. Did anyone else find it a little disappointing?

There was a bit too much moping and not enough joy, for me. That's what makes a good musical episode so great, they can progress the plot while giving us an over-the-top fun time. But instead we had everyone singing a sad song and then one or two upbeat numbers, none of which were particularly catchy or entertaining. Like, if you've seen it even just once or twice years ago like I have you can probably remember some of the songs from the OG Buffy episode, but we watched this last night and by the end I genuinely couldn't even remember the supposed grand finale song.

Boy band Klingons made the wait worth it, but I spent most of this episode spaced out a bit and just half-listening rather than watching which is the first episode I can say that about.

Shoutout to whoever decided to redo the theme music though, that was inspired.

Also the talk about bunnies has to be a reference to Buffy, right?

I LOVED this episode! I wouldn't be opposed to them doing another musical episode 😁

@ValueSubtracted Delightful episode. I laughed, I cried, I (would have) bought the t-shirt. I have really enjoyed some of the risks they've taken this season, this one and the Mashup with Lower Decks and punctuating with the powerful war episode. I've looked forward to Thursdays.
