"Clean-up on Deck Three!"
No bloody A, B, C OR D!
Who doesn't like Grease?
You're not baiting me THAT easily.
You underestimate my power.
I am a master baiter.

I mean, this is a definite departure from the creative conceits that underlie the vast majority of Star Trek episodes. Star Trek traditionally goes for a sci-fi version of Realism/Naturalism, and musicals, of course, are definitely Not That. But ultimately, I don't think it's any more of a departure from Sci-Fi Realism/Naturalism than, say, Lower Decks using the animated adult sitcom format. Ultimately genres and formats are just different ways of reaching emotional truth.
Yeah, even if "Subspace Rhapsody" sucks, I really respect their willingness to take creative risks and step so far outside of Star Trek's safe zone. That's something I really respect about Kurtzman's tenure as Trek Head Honcho -- he's willing to let his shows creatively experiment in a way that Berman almost never was.
I love Grease. My family and I saw it like 3 times in a row back when they really didn’t kick you out. Plus Grease was filmed at my high school (long before I attended ) so it holds a special part in my heart.Who doesn't like Grease?
Berman was a bore btw.
Dave Cullen will have an especially miserable, limp whinge about how un-Trek the whole thing is on this one.
And this guy:
Oh it's up?
I love them doing the theme the same way we all (yes, admit it) do it at home.
Even thought I absolutely love, love, love SNW I don't usually come over to this forum, just because I can't begin to keep up with the conversations about new episodes, but this new brought me in here.
I love musicals, and for a long time now I've thought a Star Trek musical could be a lot of fun, so learning we're actually getting one has made me very, very happy. This has pretty much shot right up to the top of most anticipated entertainment for the rest of the year. Between this and the Lower Decks crossover, this is probably going to be one of the wildest seasons of Trek we've ever gotten.

I'm still waiting for the Ortegas/Pike Shuttlecraft scene. Hopefully that's coming soon.
I love the variety in not just stories but ways of telling stories that SNW is offering us. "Those Old Scientists" was so good and I can't wait for "Subspace Rhapsody".
I'm all in for this because I love musicals and Buffy's OMWF was perfection. When I saw the trailer for Subspace Rhapsody I immediately thought of it, said to myself, well, sure, but Buffy had that demon of week --
oh right, aliens, doh.
I'm just getting home from a late birthday party so I'm just about to get caught up.
