Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"

*Phaser banks, deflector shields all at the ready*

The K-Pop bit works for me now having listened to the track and watched the episode so much. It fits better now as.. "weird" as it is. (Was the anomaly Autotuning them as well?)

I would imagine so. It was creating the instrumentation so it likely affected the styles of the music as well. I just love the idea that deep down, there are Klingons who just want to join a K-Pop band.

Edit: That said, while I'm sure auto-tune was used, some styles can emulate autotune pretty well. Like so (turn the volume down):

You might say, "Amaris, is this your attempt at getting people to listen to you do the Klingon K-Pop song?" and the answer is yes. Yes it is. I have listened to it more than 210 times. It's a part of me now.

Wow. Osmium levels off the charts.

Yeah you don't need to insult. It's a spell check error. I have an opinion about the show nothing more.

I have my degree in geology. I took a lot of science courses. I got your insult right away when i read it. Why do you feel the need to do that?

It wasn't about the spelling error. We all makes those. I fret overt hem, especially when I don't catch them until much later. I never know if its too late to change.

The comment was about stubbornness. Which we all can be from time to time.

You were calling me dense not stubborn. There's a difference.

Related concepts.

 

[TRON JA307020]

Related concepts.

Uh no. They are completely different. You were calling me dense not stubborn. You knew exactly what you were doing. You felt the need to insult someone. Why?

This episode was a big surprise! I knew there would be singing, but I didn't think it would start so 'self-aware' and I was giggling throughout the whole episode. It felt longer than most episodes as well. I was under the mistaken impression that Kirk was not aware of David's existence, and was a bit surprised when Kirk revealed the pregnancy to La'an.

 

[Trekker4747]

No, Kirk knew about David. It's right there, plain as day, in TWOK.

 

[cooleddie74]

"Is that David?"

Ergo he knew about David. He just hadn't seen him since he grew to adulthood.

 

[Trekker4747]

The Dave Cullen Show (YT) posted a review. Oh, how will this go? An I going to get to get complaints about going woke and strong women?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Uh no. They are completely different. You were calling me dense not stubborn. You knew exactly what you were doing. You felt the need to insult someone. Why?

I apologize

They just never mentioned it in the original show. By the time tos started Kirk was already a father going on 7 years. Carol didn't want David with Kirk and she set the ultimatum. Good news is Kirk finally met David as a young adult. Maybe or maybe not for the first time as it was never explained. I always got the impression Kirk probably saw David as a baby. The bad news is David died only a few months later. Kirk had already bonded with David by that time and it still haunted him years later on his last mission.

"I did what you wanted. I stayed away. Why didn't you tell him?"

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep.

Well, today I learned that apparently the assumption was Kirk knew nothing about David when the movie came out. That was unexpected.

 

[TRON JA307020]

I apologize

I think it's just best if we just end this discussion now and that's it. Your apologize is most likeky not genuine so there is no need for it. Just wanted you to know I didn't fall for it and that it's wrong. Maybe be a little nicer to people next time.

 

[TRON JA307020]

Well some may not have seen TWOK in a long time or maybe they are new fans. It's understandable. Macgyver is probably happy to hear that there was more to the David/James Kirk story. It was done well in the movies and even the little screen time and dialogue they had was used perfectly. Even in the undiscovered country Kirk with the photo of David spoke volumes. It was really great drama.

If the internet proves anything, it's that lots of what people think they "know" about STAR TREK just ain't so.

Deceptive memories, confusing "fanon" with "canon," remembering scenes that didn't happen -- or that only happened in a book or fanfic, conflating two different episodes or scenes or conversations, etc.

Oh, he did not disappoint! He voice gets really high-pitched and squeaky. Mmmmmmm I love the taste of his anger.

I don't know. STAR TREK has been recycling vintage plots since TOS, sometimes to great effect. "Balance of Terror," a fan favorite, is a shameless rehash of a classic submarine movie. "Wolf in the Fold" was Robert Bloch recycling his own short story, "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper," which had previously been adapted on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS just a few years earlier. "Arena" was reworking a Fredric Brown story that had already been done on THE OUTER LIMITS only a few years before. "Charlie X" arguably shares some creative DNA with "It's a GOOD Life" on THE TWILIGHT ZONE. "The Enemy Within" is Jekyll & Hyde with a sci-fi twist. "Elaan of Troyious" is a riff on "The Taming of the Shrew." "Requiem from Methuselah" is (like FORBIDDEN PLANET) blatantly inspired by "The Tempest." Etc.

To be clear, I'm not dissing any of these eps, some of which are favorites of mine. Just pointing that SNW is hardly unique in riffing on classic stories and/or the pop culture of its time, just as TOS did back in the day.

And let's be honest: it's not a coincidence that TNG did its "Robin Hood" ep around the same time as the Kevin Costner movie. They were shamelessly jumping on the Sherwood Forest bandwagon.

TOS S1 The Corbomite Manuever borrows elements from the Richard Widmark/Sidney Poitier Cold War film The Bedford Incident - especially in the character of Lt. Bailey.
