It got purple if you waited long enough.
Unification!
"Do you know Ba'k Rah?"
"I'm a little rusty..."
"I'm a little rusty..."
I know that line she asks spock “Have you ever been engaged, Mr. Spock?” from What Little Girls Are Made Of?” Hasn’t age well. No I wonder if she was giving him a hard time.
More than a betrothal; less than a marriage.
His experience is not like other engagements.
Yeah, but it was so vague it could've been a 4-handed piano arrangement of a Kling-pop tune (this is just cope)

I have now broken the "watched 100 times" mark on the Klingon K-Pop/boy band. It's just so flawlessly executed, and I adore Bruce Horak. 
2001 did a better waltz than Kirk and Una
I can't dance worth a damn, so I can't judge someone else's waltzing or swaying or whatever other dances exist out there.

No, we don't want SNW to turn into a relationship soap- that would be the demise of the show, I think. Character development? Sure. Arcs? Sure. But let's get on with exploring SNW.

This is an old story in relationships. One partner is dissatisfied and leaves the other, later regrets it and would like to get back together, but the spurned partner has a) moved on and/or b) lost the trust that was there the first time. The grass isn't always greener, and sometimes the 'better deal' someone thinks is waiting for them either isn't there, or isn't actually a better deal at all.

The look Worf gets on his face when he steps up and starts singing along is one of the best Worf moments in all of TNG-Trek.
Sure. It could have been a rhetorical question.
Yeah, too bad he can't sing though.
(I find that scene just plain painful.)
Rewatched this ep now with my daughter (she's a 12 year old musical nut so thought it might hook her on live-action trek)
Have to say. Celia Rose Gooding is a great singer, but for all the hype about her going into this Christina Chong is better. She was incredible. The best of them all by far - and they were all good

The terrible singing is part of what makes it so awesome. If he was a great singer, all that enthusiasm would have been warranted. The fact that it's not is what makes it so damn funny. Besides, Klingon opera should sound like a 2 AM cat fight waking you out of a sound sleep.
Christine Chong is a terrific singer and I really enjoyed the song... but this isn't Star Trek and this at a point when the show couldn't sink any lower than "Those Old Scientists". Mediocre committee writers who wants to have "fun".
If there were more episodes per seasons then I wouldn't mind as much, but with two "Worst of Star Trek" in short order in a season that's merely ten episodes...
1/10

Feeling my age: I confess I wince whenever I see commentary about this episode citing "traditional" musicals like . . . Les Miz and Phantom of the Opera?
I mean, I know, intellectually, that those shows are close to forty years old now, but I still think of them as "modern" musicals, as opposed to Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, Brigadoon, etc.
Ouch.
Just like I still think of, say, "Back to the Future" and "The Terminator" as "modern movies," as opposed to "Forbidden Planet" or "Bride of Frankenstein."
(Dare I confess that the soundtrack album to "My Fair Lady" was probably the very first LP I ever bought with my own money, back when I was a kid?)
Well, I have literally been saying all season regarding Spock and Chapel that they were going to twist the knife and tear out our hearts with a smile on their face and a song on their lips. Looks like I was more right than I could have ever guessed.
