A lot of people didn't like the Klingon boy band. I guess they just don't care for...

Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I've grown to lime the K-Pop a bit more now having listened to the soundtrack twice now without the visuals and it works better for me now.
Klingon Opera would be better, but honorable and not something that would have pissed off the Klingons.

The shot accidentally including the removed viewscreen, ladder, and exposed soundstage in "Bound?" It was a genuine error. Star Trek: Enterprise was already shot digitally and in widescreen; this episode aired in 2005. I don't believe it has ever been re-cropped for modern televisions.
Yep. And apparently Klingon opera is extremely atonal, if "Aktuh and Melota" is any indicatoin.
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.
I am really impressed that someone with such a deep speaking voice has such a high falsetto!
I think having deep and meaningful relationships between characters is what makes a show last.
Chong was wonderful, but I can't agree that she was better than Gooding. Gooding was hitting much higher notes at a much higher volume, and she generally covered a much larger vocal range. You could tell that Chong was closer to her mic and singing at a lower volume during her higher notes.
Sure it is. It's a production entitled Star Trek, created by the owners of Star Trek, about the crew of a Federation Starfleet starship in the 23rd Century.
Star Trek doesn't always have to stick to a rigid formula, and Realism/Naturalism is not the only valid format. I think it's wonderful that we're in an era where Star Trek can have creative experiments like "Those Old Scientists" and "Subspace Rhapsody."
I mean, if we put on our musical theatre history academic hats, that's actually a fair categorization. Musicals before the late 1950s/early 1960s -- and this was an evolution, not a hard line -- but musicals basically before West Side Story tended not to have music that was as well-integrated into the story being told. So it is fair to refer to Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera as "modern" musicals in that sense.
100%.
Nah. Star Trek has jumped the shark, died, come back, and reached new creative heights, and then done it all over again multiple times. This franchise is almost sixty years old. It has transcended the idea of "jumping the shark."
Besides, Buffy didn't even jump the shark with its musical episode. (That didn't happen until "Conversations with Dead People.")
Christine? Spock was the one who wanted someone to whom he wasn't engaged. Spock was the one who made advances on Christine. And Spock was the one who has to cope with the realization that Christine is not quite the person he had imagined her to be, that she's a real person without thoughts and feelings and goals that have nothing to do with him or his feelings. Spock is the one who has realized that wanting something forbidden is a lot more exciting than having it.

On the other hand, I generally find that when I like something I like it.
Anyway, a wonderful fan has gone and transcribed the music and lyrics:

"A self-imposed purgatory," as it were.
There's something to be said that at the end of "This Side of Paradise(TOS)" a 37-year-old Spock who's second-in-command of the most famous ship in the Federation says that for the first time he'd just experienced happiness. Real happiness.
That's his lot. And it may get easier as he gets older and more wise and embraces more of his human half, but it never gets easy.

Am I the only one who remembers the reflection of the guy chewing gum standing off stage in the green crystal in Sela's office in Unification part 2? I guess that one's not canon anymore either.
It was edited out of the Remastered version of the episode.
Alternate timeline!
Which is canon?!?!
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.
I recall thinking when folks were complaining about some of the Into Darkness vs. TWOK things that there was probably a huge segment of the target audience who never even saw TWOK because it was over 30 years old.
And rhyming "inertial dampers" with "hampered."
I really liked Chapel's "camera obscura" line in her number.
Hey, nothing wrong with a good transporter malfunction episode. "The Enemy Within" and "Mirror, Mirror" are classics!
(Says the guy who was rewatching "Return of the Fly" just a few nights ago. "Help meeeeee!")
So, was the Farragut and Batel's ship both inside transporter range or are we doing the Kelvin-verse concept of transporter ranges so vast we don't need starships?
ETA: Why did autocorrect change "Batel" into "Patel?"
Know what, AC, I'll handle the words you take care of it when I hit the "V" or "B" instead of the spacebar, deal?

I was under the impression that both involved rendezvous with the other ship, but it would probably have been better to use shuttlecraft so that entire starships aren't being redirected.
Yes
If only the transporters were as reliable as the inertial dampeners, which are consistently far more reliable than anything else, including life support systems.
Star Trek really doesn't feel like it has had an edge for a while. Into Darkness maybe my last edgier feel. I like Discovery but I don't think that's what is meant by fans when they ask for an edge.
Star trek makes a story that is light hearted and optimistic.
"Not real trek! Much to silly, be serious!"
Star trek makes a story that is serious with a more realist outlook.
"Not real trek! Its so dark and gritty, and against gene's vison!"
Star trek makes a story in the spirit of Gene's vision for the franchise.
"Why is everyone high and naked!? Why do ferengi all have massive cocks!? be family friendly!"
Star trek makes Prodigy.
"Not real trek! its just dumbed down kiddie stuff for mass audiences! be intelligent!"
Star trek makes a no expense spared scientifically and philosophically enlightened odyssey penned by the best authors in the business.
"Stop being so preeeeeachy! Who put politics in my space show!? they've gone woke I say! woke!"
Star trek makes a story inoffensive to all of the above sensibilities
"It's boring now I'm gonna go watch something else, hope you get canceled we'll try again in another 20 years..."
It's Boimler's fault. He seeded the idea that Spock being with her wasn't right for the future. She probably thinks she's helping the timeline.
