Spoilers Strange New Worlds jumps the shark... ("Subspace Rhapsody")

The problem is that they can't stop singing and dancing.
OMWF is my ideal for this kind of thing in a series with an ongoing narrative - the numbers address several ongoing seasonal character arcs/problems and moves them along really neatly. The Xander Explanation for the singing is a fig leaf, but sufficient IMO.

♬ ♬ The stars are alive with warp cores singing, a few day's journey that used to take years ♬ ♬Introduce them to Maria?
imagine if they went to a planet where the people there always burst into song and dance
Why? We just had a musical last season.
Yes. One musical in the franchise is more than enough.
Would need Captain Bateson to cameo at the end
I want one musical episode every season!!!
Nah, but seriously, Subspace Rhapsody was amazing and Star Trek fans need to be a little less serious.
that was being effected with something that had them sing
but if they landed on a planet where everyone bursts into song and dance then the crew would be the only ones actuly not singing and dancing the way like the way they were effected in that season 2 episode
whos captain bateson again
Kelsey Grammer's Starfleet Captain from 2278, in the episode "Cause and Effect(TNG)."
Did you watch The Marvels last night?
did not rewatch the marvels last night
I agree that it was SNW's "jump the shark" episode. I was surprised that SNW was so good at first, considering that it sprang from the dismal STD. I was a fan of the show for a while, but it seems like it has gotten progressively worse as of late. There is nothing wrong with the occasional goofy episode. Even TOS had "The Trouble With Tribbles" and "A Piece Of The Action", but SNW seems to have dropped its dramatic premise for a series of substandard comedies. The dismal (and derivative) holodeck episode that crapped all over TOS and Roddenberry was even worse. They had the opportunity to poke some harmless but loving fun at TOS, but instead took the opportunity to show how much they actually hate the source material. Their smug, arrogant and hateful derision was insulting to both TOS and the fanbase as a whole. The source material, by the way, is far superior to SNW.
People who never fail are people who never try. I can respect the SNW creative team wanting to try new approaches to a 50+ years old franchise to keep it fresh and current, but the musical episode was a failure. It's OK to fail if you learn from your mistakes and keep plugging along and improving. I hope that the makers of SNW can learn from their failure. Unfortunately, the series seems to be getting worse with each passing episode.

People who trot this out have jumped the shark.
If they wanted to crap all over Roddenberry, they could've done a hell of a lot worse than what we saw in the episode and been entirely truthful to "the source material."
That may be how you took it, myself and others took it entirely different. They clearly don't hate the source material. To say that makes you sound utterly ridiculous.
I'm a TOS fan first and foremost, and I'm not detecting anything close to what you seem so bent out of shape over.
Fuck the fanbase, and Roddenberry was not a person worth worshipping.
