I thought this episode was fun, and you can tell they tried to not take it too seriously. Musicals always have those over-wrought moments and songs that are just a bit too slow or go on a bit too long. This episode had that too.
It takes a lot of courage to do a musical episode, and I honestly thought I'd never see one in Trek, ever. They pulled it off just fine.
Definitely worth checking out. Rough start to the first season but gets so great by midseason and keeps improving from there on out. Really looking forward to season 2.
Did someone take over post production and plans to air it? I haven’t heard anything since paramount canceled it while in post production and removed it from paramount+
Hmm, I just discovered Iggy Pop’s music for the first time so I’ll go with Yelgrun, the Vorta in The Magnificent Ferengi, DS9, Season 6, one of my personal favorite episodes.
If you’ve never listened to The Idiot or Lust For Life then drop everything you’re doing and put them on, they are fantastic albums.
Don’t know if he’s my absolute favourite, but I love Timicin from TNG’s S04E22 “Half a Life”. He’s a good, dedicated and kind man who would have been a great long-term partner for Lwaxana Troy, but for the fact that he is about to commit ritual suicide as he’s about to turn 60 as a part of a culturally enforced practice called The Resolution.
Played by David Ogden Stiers, he has great chemistry with Majel Barrett, and their relationship is a believable one. He’s a man torn between challenging his society for the chance to keep living in order to save it (he’s the lead scientist trying to stabilise their sun) while finding love with Lwaxana, and not rocking the boat and simply doing what’s expected of him.
