Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Sort of a square-rectangle thing, there.
Right, CC used both and I took it as a double meaning. Another line is something like "I solved for Y..." followed by "I'm the X."
Seems like I'm definitely going against the grain here, but I absolutely hated this episode, I thought the premise was stupid, the musical numbers were not enjoyable for me. This is the first time I've ever given an episode a 1.
Having said that, if someone enjoyed it, I'm happy for them. For me, this wasn't it and I hope we never see anything like this again on Star Trek.

Meh. Whatever. Sounded boy-band to.me, but I don't know my band-types. I don't even think I could tell you what K-pop is.
Yep, K-Pop is just Boy Band tropes taken to 11.

this Nerdist article says they shot both the K-pop version and a Klingon Opera Version. They felt the opera was too similar to the singing in the rest of the episode, and went with the K-pop for contrast.

Teenage me would have absolutely hated this episode. Adult me absolutely loves it.
Now I love it more in theory than practice:
I really did not like that the characters were self-aware they're in a musical, the anomaly, or how they had to "trigger" songs. It needed to have been a more natural part of the plot. As a result many of the songs felt as flat as the plot. (Also, again, no reason for Kirk to be there).
Now, for a tv Show I don't expect Disney classics level songs. But still, I had hoped for, like, a villain song, a sailor-crew song, a dramatic love song. Instead it was all about their personal problems, and such felt a bit same-y and familiar. But they were well made. And the Klingons were just the best.
However I am absolutely in awe of the actors voices and performances. It was not just obvious everyone was having a blast - they're just the absolute best!
At the end, I don't think this episode was perfect. But it's pure existence is reason to be happy alone.

She didn’t know what she wanted when she had it. Happens all the time.
Yeah... Marie is going to die.
Batel might not die onscreen but she might disappear and be considered missing in action, which would be good as dead given we know how often characters go missing in Trek and are presumed to have died.
She never said "Enterprise", just gallivanting around the galaxy. Kirk did not get the Enterprise until a few more years.
The thing Chapel is going on is 2 months (or so).
"Rivals(DS9)" and Martus Mazur.
Ah, my bad. Confused the timeline.
It's a common science fiction idea - The Hitchhiker's guide for example does a version long before trek.

She has been giving him looks. I don't know if it means anything, or if my shipping brain is just moving at full steam, but it seems like something is there. Then again, it could be the very something we see in TOS, too. Uhura was always warm and familiar with Spock. That there might be deep affection there wouldn't be a surprise.
True. But DS9 is my favorite series, so that's the first thing I was drawn to.
