That episode is pure fire, I’m not afraid to admit it
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’m the rare person that loves both Star Trek and musicals, so this was perfectfor me to see!
I mean… the songs were okay, but none of them were Faith of the Heart.
They really should have sang both Faith of the Heart and the lyrics to the original theme song.
I ADORED this episode! “Status Report” is such an incredible song, I can’t get over it.
All systems normal
All systems stable!
Sorry, yes. Time for a rewatch! 🖖
I just feel they should have done a better song with the Klingons
Yeah, distinct lack of Klingon opera!
The rug pull of using K(ling)-pop was funny as hell though.
They tried it but it wasn’t dishonourable.
Apparently, the alternate version will be a bonus on the DVD/BlueRay set.
Ooh, interesting.
That would not have been a grave dishonor. The K-Pop is probably ritual suicide territory.
Completely fair
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 despise musicals so I just kinda went on my phone the whole episode while my wife enjoyed it.
Didn’t love it but definitely in favor of them having taken a shot at it
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.
Same, I only watched like 12 percent of that episode.
After the first song I was like “but the next song will be a different genre, right? Right?”
subspace rhapsody was amazing and if anyone tells you otherwise they’re wrong
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.
All of the negative reviews I’ve read were from people who never saw the episode.
I have seen this episode, and I really wasn’t a big fan of it. However, I’ve also seen the original series episode “The Way to Eden”, and I’d rather watch Subspace Rhapsody ten times back to back than sit through the “”““songs””“” in that episode ever again for as long as I shall live. Subspace Rhapsody may be more of a musical episode, but at least it’s music instead of being dissonant navel-gazing trash. The songs in The Way to Eden make me hate hippies more than J. Edgar Hoover and Eric Cartman combined could.
I loved it! And their explanation for why it happened was actually really good!
I normally don’t like musicals…
