Star Trek : Strange New Worlds

Great that they have gone back to what made Star Trek great with Strange New Worlds. Love the Lower Decks crossover.

I was the opposite, while the episode was good, I thought what is this cartoon rubbish, have I accidently clicked on the wrong show.

Clearly never watched Lower decks then? It's a fun Trek show.

Nope not really my thing, maybe watch it now though if its any good.

It's brilliant fun. Yes it can be silly but it's also got good stories and lots of references to ever other Trek show.

I cannot wait for it. I love a good musical.

One of the highest rated episodes of Buffy is a musical (Once more with feeling)

One of my all time favourites.

I wonder what percentage of Star Trek fans like musicals.... ratings for this episode might be interesting.

Not a fan of musicals at all but I'm actually looking forward too it.

Quite true. Hated that episode tbh!

Maybe my tastes have changed since then….

Not to speak for anyone else, but my favourite musical of all time is a rock opera is a rock opera concept album about a bunch of people plucked from time being led on a journey by a vaguely sinister character called Forever of the Stars played by Jon DeLancie, so there's precedent.

(Also recommend anyone check out Ayreon's Electric Castle live album for Q hamming it up with a multinational crew of singers)

something daft already!! · 26 Jul 2023 at 17:21

I think I'm done with this now. Didn't enjoy the last few week's episodes and if they are planning a musical one, they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to get views. I can't imagine anything worse. Maybe the Irish episode of TNG or the racist one perhaps. Shame, I hope Terry gets his new series. That one might be worth a watch.

E07 is one of the best episodes I've seen of any Star Trek and I've obviously seen them all.

I've not really disliked any of this season. It's been brilliant so far. Lots of classic style Trek stories.

I will be skipping

cringorama!

Trek is mostly brilliant. When it is being silly and fun.

Same, it's a shame, disappointing season which really hasn't produced anything that stands out at all.
