Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I wonder if the premise that they were expressing inner thoughts and feelings that they literally never intended to express out loud is significant.
Like, Pike sang things to Batel that he didn't intend to say. Perhaps Chapel did not intend to say that she was prepared to break up with Spock out loud when she was overcome with joy at being accepted for the fellowship on the basis of her work. Based on last week's episode, the emotional damage that Chapel suffered during the war was her main issue. It's not that she doesn't love Spock, it's that she doesn't know how to handle her own issues.
In contrast, when La'an and Kirk spoke with each other, it was a conversation, not two inner monologues expressed as musical lyrics.

I do enjoy that theyre not afraid to try different things with snw.
I look forward to the inevitable muppets episode.

Far more interested in the episode where they go back in time and save the Yellowjackets girls.
Btw, I was so afraid the episode was gonna be about some kind of trickster alien like Q forcing the crew to sing for his/her own amusement because that's the old cliche Star Trek thing (not the musical part, just the trickster alien tormenting the crew). I'm glad they DIDN'T do that and went with the plot device of a weird space anomaly causing people to sing and dance and then USING song and dance to save the galaxy from a living hell of an eternal musical. I mean, as funny as it would be, I imagine a lot of residents in the galaxy would just drop dead from sheer exhaustion alone! Singing and dancing takes a lot of energy! That being said, if that singing "virus" had reached the Delta Quadrant the idea of singing Borg would be so outrageous that I laugh just thinking about it.

After Boimler’s appearance last episode I didn’t think it could get worse. Don’t get me wrong, as far-fetched as that episode was, I still enjoyed it.
This episode started well, but when the singing started they lost me.
The actors all sang pretty well (especially the women that play Uhura and L’ann). But I am not into musicals.
Spock’ s song I am the E(x) was quite moving

Feel quite similar except I didn't really warm to Spock's song.
The only song I liked was Chapels which had a sort of Bond quality to it.
Have you really watched? Was explained.

With the anomaly affecting the whole fleet, it amuses me to think that Bones was probably singing his heart out about being a Doctor, not a broadway star.
I caught that aswell. Made me both happy to see those mannerisms and sad, because now we know the inner torment going through Spock's mind throughout TOS.
Well It was what it was. It was interesting and engaging, but also really weird. The Klingon bit was laugh out loud hilarious. I guess it was good to really get the characters' feelings out there. Very odd how this is now the canon reason that Spock was motivated to become more Vulcan.
Did you miss an episode? Boimler's appearance was 2 episodes ago. Last episode was about M'Benga and Chapel.
That post above by another poster was kind of misleading. They didn't approach Lin Manuel Miranda for this episode. Michael Chabon knows him and there were some discussions with him, Akiva, and Michelle Hurd about doing a musical for Picard down the line. Chabon said that he knew him and also 2 days later said that Miranda didn't call him back.

The soundtrack is out and I really like La’An’s song. Chung has a great singing voice, kind of a Caberat style.
