Arguably one of the best moments in the SNW Musical episode subspace rhapsody was Bruce Horak Cameo as the captain of the Klingon boy band. But there is a deleted scene of the opera version that while absolutly best scene won, would be fun to see released to fans

But it felt packed and so became a chore of too much of a thing…the fact each of 5 main character needed their own 5mintues of it

I know musicals breaks the show don’t tell a bit as you can sing not show…but they seemed to use that excuse to get right back round to tell tell tell even in song form

No throwaway given the number of relationships that don’t seem likely to move forward after the episode.

Made it 15 minutes. Fucking waste of time. Also, there is a reason that it’s score is in the 40% range where every single other episode is in the 80% range.

I didn’t sign up to watch Star Trek: the shitty ass musical.

YMMV, glad you tried it.

I am sceptical of your assertion that this episode has a very negative score though. I don’t see a rating for this episode that low on any aggregator.

IMDb currently has the episode rated audience reviews at 7.0. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 100% fresh for pro reviews.

The score is lower on IMDb than other for episodes because there are folks brigading against it. A distribution that is clustered at 8, 9, and 10 then flat though the middle and spiked with a high number of 1s is fairly good evidence of a campaign to gatekeep against certain kinds of things.

IDIC, let others enjoy what they enjoy, not every episode need to be made for your preferences.

For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9’s “Playing God” had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it’s about halfway into the video below:

I thought the subtle change to the opening credits was great too. I noticed they did that on Those Old Scientists too, so I’m wondering if there were others I missed in this or prior seasons.

I ran Klingon fleets on STO for so long that part of me identifies as tlhIngan. I own a bat’leth. I thought it was the bomb. ;)

It was also more in-line with the story - Klingon opera doesn’t really belong in American-style musical theatre, while it’s easier to slot this sort of pop into that style.

There was just too little of it.

It wasn’t just any kind of boy band.

It was K-pop.

I can understand their dishonor.

On Qo’nos they just call it pop

K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.

In this case the K in K-pop stands for Klingon
