NOPE
Or it refers to the type of bridge module being used (which was also used on the Reliant and the Stargazer if I recall).
Don't mini-mod. I don't need the help and it annoys me.
Sorry I am late to party I had no net for a few weeks
10/10

TBH I have NOT been watching Subspace Rhapsody and / or Those Old Scientists a lot just because that would happen.
Hmmmm. I've actually watched Children of the Comet a bit more than any of the others. It's almost the Corbomite Maneuver of SNW.
For me this season it's been "Those Old Scientists." Watching Boimler and Mariner interact with Pike and his crew is nothing short of magically slapstick. It's not the season's best but it's damned entertaining and eminently rewatchable.
That's easily #2 on my list of most times watched.
With apologies to those who like this episode my vote is a hard no. I almost had to shut it off 10 minutes in because I was having a hard time sitting through it. Now in all fairness I don't like musicals so obviously an episode that is basically a musical was always going to be a hard sell for me. But if Star Trek were made into a Disney movie this episode would probably be what they came up with. The only reason I push myself to finish it is because I know in every episode different things happen to impact future episodes. But like season 2 of the Picard, I seriously doubt I'll ever watch this episode again. All in all Strange New Worlds is still my favorite current show, and this episode doesn't change that. But no. I just found this episode ridiculous. Star Trek...meet Pitch Perfect. But to those that loved it, enjoy
Oh goodness, no. Disney musicals are a particular subgenre of musicals, and "Subspace Rhapsody" does not draw from that subgenre. For one thing, Disney would never have its most iconic character get publicly humiliated and dumped and then sing a bitter song about the breakup, and then have them still be broken up at the end.
True enough. I was thinking more in how in some Disney movies the characters just randomly break into song at the drop of a hat.
My daughter loves Disney movies so I usually take her to see them. But my favorites are usually the ones with little or no singing like Wreck It Ralph or Zootopia. And give Disney credit. They're not afraid of poking fun at themselves. I remember in Zootopia the fox saying something about what do you think, we break into song and everyone lives happily ever after.
But I digress. I'm sure my dislike for musicals colors my opinion on this episode.
I certainly understand this. And there's nothing wrong with your tastes coloring your opinion or perception of an episode.
One of the best lines, delivered by Idris Elba very, very well.
I like a lot of Disney and other type musicals.
This episode is not those.
I know a person who hates chocolate and ice cream and bacon.
While not universal stranger things have happened.
I don't think it's unusual for someone to not like musicals. Musicals are not nearly as (near) universally loved like ice cream or chocolate or bacon or pizza.
Musicals may not be niche, but they are definitely not a huge thing. Otherwise, we'd likely get a musical episode from just about every series out there.
I dunno. It really reminded me of one of those Pitch Perfect movies or something like that (maybe not the animated films so much)Not so much the plot itself, though the overall problem is solved at the end. But just in the sense that at any moment the characters can break into song and dance. It really had me thinking Disney.
But who knows. Based on the poll here (granted it's a small sample, I don't know what the general reaction is) maybe they should do a Star Trek musical. While not my cup of tea there might be a market for it
