    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.

    “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

      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 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!

    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.

    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.

    I despise musicals so I just kinda went on my phone the whole episode while my wife enjoyed it.

    I thought it was fun and I enjoyed the episode more than I thought I would. That being said, I don’t want them to do it again.

    My 8 year old daughter absolutely loved it.
