This episode will forever be the test of whether someone who likes Trek is a fun person.
10/10.
I don't know. I generally like the fun episodes and I think I like this one overall (and there are some incredible voices in this cast), but most of the songs just plain missed for me. Most are rhyming words set to music but not enough structure. I'm not sure how often I'd want to see this episode.
Maybe my headache last night made me grumpy.
Yeah same, I am only posting here now since it took me a bit to actually finish the episode. I really don't like musicals much in general so this was a hard watch.
I am not saying it was not well done, for what it was they really put their soul into it which is great. Just not at all for me. And I loved the Lower Decks crossover, so its not about it being silly.
It's funny to think that the return of Trek in 2016 had Klingons eating captured Federation officers and Starfleet commiting war crimes out the gate in the first episode and now we're getting an animated comedy series and musical episodes. Trek shouldn't be afraid to be a bit silly and camp sometimes and I'm glad it's free to be again.
