Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Then it did hit me that yeah, at that time (2016), ESB was 36 years old...(And then I also recalled what I thought about Forbidden Planet when I went to see STAR WARS at age 14 in 1977.
)
Some years ago, a friend and I were lamenting that "kids these days" didn't watch classic old movies like we did when we were young. Grumble, grumble.
Then we realized we were wrong. Young people were watching vintage movies made long before they were born; it was just that nowadays those movies were THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, THE WRATH OF KHAN, GREASE, etc.
It was sobering to realize that STAR WARS is older today than CASABLANCA was when we were growing up.

Well... that depends on how invested in the relationship you are as the viewer. I've found the Spock / Chapel / T'Pring stuff pretty cringeworthy, myself. I just sit through it and press on to the next plot point for the most part.
It still blows my mind to think of where Jess Bush could have taken a whole new character, rather than tethering her to Chapel's sad story.

If Marty went 'back to the future' today, he'd be going back to 1993.
"KHAAAAAAAN!!!!!"

Indeed. It's a lot of fun. The more the merrier.
Haha. No. Please, do not presume to speak for "everyone".
There may have been a hint of humour involved. Particularly in that part.
I will not make the joke I’m thinking of….
He’s the single easiest way to make it happen. His son turned Voy’s engineering into a club.
Also, and this is key, he brings the band.
... Listened to the soundtrack again driving home frim work and, man, I just love it!
I just love the.... "Trekness" of the lyrics singing about sciency, mathematical, ship-systems stuff and fellowships. *lol* it's just great!

I am not a fan of musicals, so this was deeply cringe. But it's over now and I never have to watch it again.

I've watched this episode 5 times now. I've especially watched the Klingon K-Pop scene about 120 times now. It's just fantastic, and so catchy!
What a weird episode. I kind of loved it. But I also kinda feel that Star Treks somehow jumped the shark. Conflicted I am.
Campy fun, but it didn't make much sense. It was both cringe and amazing. God only knows how awful a TOS version would have been. I cannot imagine another cast pulling this off.

Curious. Which part?
Perhaps once the initial shock wears off and you watch it again, you'll be more apt to pick up on the intended plot device that causes the singing and the reasons why.
