    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.

      My main annoyance was how short that bit was.

      And also that they teased us with the mention of sea shanties twice without ever delivering.

    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.

    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 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!

    If they would have done more diverse kinds of music it might have been okay for me. However, I hate musicals with a passion, all of them! Anyway, I´m happy for you because you enjoy it so much.

    A willingness to occasionally get goofy is honestly part of what makes Star Trek Star Trek imo. The lack of willingness to do that was actually something that kind of always bugged me about Disco. And this was definitely a fun as hell episode, especially the klingon boy band bit.

    Didn’t love it but definitely in favor of them having taken a shot at it

    I loved it! And their explanation for why it happened was actually really good!

    I normally don’t like musicals…
