    As someone who is not into musical episodes (nothing against musicals, just it’s not my thing, if I wanted to watch a musical I’d watch… a musical?), it wasn’t too painful to watch.

    The Klingon segment made me howl with laughter though, and although musical episodes aren’t my bag, I love how free this season has been in terms of exploring new ideas in each episode.

      Totally agree. It’s really nice to show an interest in bending the structure rather than breaking it trying to “make it cool”.

      I enjoyed the episode. I liked that it wasn’t just “a musical episode” but they acknowledged that it was unusual and expressed concern about it. They didn’t pretend that everyone singing was normal like in a typical musical.

      I thought it was fun.

        Yeah, they found a sciencey way to explain it that imo was satisfying enough. It’s nice to have fun episodes so it’s not all grim and serious, knowing what’s probably waiting for Pike! Also a nice opportunity for some of the cast to show off their other talents, Christina Chong has an incredible voice.

    The K in K-Pop stands for Klingon

    > k pop

    It’s generic boy bands, ala Backstreet Boys. Unless the Klingons were singing in Korean, it’s not kpop.
