I like Star Trek and I like musicals, but I don’t want the two to mix. I audibly groaned when I saw the description of this in Paramount+, and it seems like a thing where the cast wanted to do it regardless of whether it genuinely makes sense in the context of the show. All I thought was, “Yes, this seems like the kind of thing I would expect in Alex Kurtzman’s Star Trek.”
Maybe they thought they needed a lighter episode to follow “Under the Cloak of War.”
I haven’t watched it yet, though. I’ll follow up after I do.
