While it was a little campy (having a boy band of Klingons was cringy and hilarious at the same time), it was awesome! Not only did the musical episode “Space Rhapsody” have some genuine bangers (sung exceptionally well by the cast), but it also helped further the stories, drama, and internal conflict of many of the characters in preparation for next week’s Season Two finale. So, trying to pull off a musical was gonna be a hard task.īut man did they pull it off!! From the first opening song to the grand finale, I was mesmerized that two of my favorite things were able to perfectly blend. No shade to Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard (which in its last season was the perfect send-off for the TNG crew), Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the best Star Trek has been in decades! And they already went weird with the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds/Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover episode “Those Old Scientists,” where they had characters in the animated show interact with the old Enterprise crew (and it was great!). And also, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a phenomenal show. While Star Trek over the decades has always had a “fun” episode here and there, they never tried to go even weirder and make a musical episode. I was a little worried that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was planning on making a musical episode. I know for a fact I’m the only black man (probably on the planet) who thinks Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (and its three songs an episode requirement) is one of the most inventive and creative TV shows of the last decade (and plays those songs at least once a week on my phone). ![]() ![]() ![]() My music streaming library consists of 80s-mid 2010s hip-hop (sorry current hip-hop stinks no matter how much I give it a try), 80s rock, and a crap-ton of musicals and movie scores. A little FYI about me: I’m such an in-the-closet theater nerd! Something about being a Jersey boy who could frequent NYC Broadway shows as a child (and an adult) just always made me love musicals.
