That episode is pure fire, I’m not afraid to admit it
I’m the rare person that loves both Star Trek and musicals, so this was perfectfor me to see!
Seriously though, I had no idea this wasn’t popular. On par with Once More With Feeling, imo.
It was popular. Don’t let those brigading against the mere idea of a musical distort the facts.
Some of the review sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ended up with average scores in the 7/70% range merely because of the large number of 1/10 votes.
If you check out the vote distribution, it was a small but very vocal minority who opposed the episode on principle, who created the impression that it wasn’t well received by the fandom.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of American musicals, but I enjoyed and have certainly included it in my rewatches already.
Lol I’m literally watching Once more with feeling. Decided to watch all musical episodes I could find.
Where do we go from here?
Sorry for the delay in asking. I think I was in heaven.
I hated it with the exception of Uhura’s song, even fast-forwarded through La’an’s song, but the second they mentioned it reaching Klingons I was invested.
And when they hailed the Klingons it did not disappoint.
I mean… the songs were okay, but none of them were Faith of the Heart.
They really should have sang both Faith of the Heart and the lyrics to the original theme song.
I love both Star Trek and musicals, and when “Subspace Rhapsody” was announced, I wasn’t thrilled and thought it would be bad Star Trek and a bad musical. I was so wrong! I loved it so much!
The best song is “How Would That Feel,” La’an is the best, and I will fight anyone who says I’m wrong!
“Status Report” is great, and the rest are good enough and the episode was really fun.
Glad they did it, but I’m not looking for an annual occurrence. I can love it and also say 1 is enough. Same with the Lower Decks crossover
Everytime I listen to “Status Report”, I start grinning like a cheshire cat.
I think both those things are too extreme. Maybe not every season, especially with short seasons now, but certainly they’ve earned more than one based on execution for both.
The crossover episode was great and the musical was superb, I thought. I don’t want that every episode, but I could handle once a season, but one every other is probably better.
I just feel they should have done a better song with the Klingons
Yeah, distinct lack of Klingon opera!
The rug pull of using K(ling)-pop was funny as hell though.
They tried it but it wasn’t dishonourable.
Apparently, the alternate version will be a bonus on the DVD/BlueRay set.
Ooh, interesting.
That would not have been a grave dishonor. The K-Pop is probably ritual suicide territory.
Completely fair
I ADORED this episode! “Status Report” is such an incredible song, I can’t get over it.
All systems normal
All systems stable!
Sorry, yes. Time for a rewatch! 🖖
I was concerned when I learned the premise of the show. I get secondhand embarrassed when a show gets cringe. I fricking loved it.
I don’t watch much other tv than Star Trek, so I don’t really care if it’s a meme to do this on a tv show but I loved it. I usually hate musicals because the songs feel like they hit pause on the story but this episode was hilarious while also being meaningful.
Even though I can’t stand musicals and musical episodes, I’ll concede that it was a good episode that moved the season’s plot forward well. Even though I was squirming in my seat throught it.
subspace rhapsody was amazing and if anyone tells you otherwise they’re wrong
I despise musicals so I just kinda went on my phone the whole episode while my wife enjoyed it.
I’m the X.
