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

    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. ;)

    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.

    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:

        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.

              TMDB is even less representative than IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes (which already skew older, male and are very American in representation).

              It’s fine if you subscribe to a group that aligns with your own views, but don’t take the self-selected non statistically valid outcome as anything but a reflection of the subgroup that subscribes.

              Paramount+ on the other hand needs to draw in a large and demographically diverse audience to maintain a subscription base. The episode wasn’t a hit with your niche, but other ones will be. It definitely was a hit in our household.

        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
