Really hope it can be released to fans maybe at a con then online
finally, best use of autotune tech
I ran Klingon fleets on STO for so long that part of me identifies as tlhIngan. I own a bat'leth. I thought it was the bomb. ;)
I thought the subtle change to the opening credits was great too. I noticed they did that on Those Old Scientists too, so I’m wondering if there were others I missed in this or prior seasons.
For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9's "Playing God" had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it's about halfway into the video below:
God I fucking hate musical throwaway episodes
No throwaway given the number of relationships that don’t seem likely to move forward after the episode.
Made it 15 minutes. Fucking waste of time. Also, there is a reason that it's score is in the 40% range where every single other episode is in the 80% range.
I didn't sign up to watch Star Trek: the shitty ass musical.
YMMV, glad you tried it.
I am sceptical of your assertion that this episode has a very negative score though. I don’t see a rating for this episode that low on any aggregator.
IMDb currently has the episode rated audience reviews at 7.0. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 100% fresh for pro reviews.
The score is lower on IMDb than other for episodes because there are folks brigading against it. A distribution that is clustered at 8, 9, and 10 then flat though the middle and spiked with a high number of 1s is fairly good evidence of a campaign to gatekeep against certain kinds of things.
IDIC, let others enjoy what they enjoy, not every episode need to be made for your preferences.
I made a mistake, TMDB not IMDb. TMDB is what is linked up with Plex servers (mine anyway) and I assume jellyfin servers as well.
For anyone wondering, here is a full synopsis (honestly you didn't miss anything particularly important): https://www.startrek.com/news/recap-209-subspace-rhapsody-strange-new-worlds
TMDB is even less representative than IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes (which already skew older, male and are very American in representation).
It’s fine if you subscribe to a group that aligns with your own views, but don’t take the self-selected non statistically valid outcome as anything but a reflection of the subgroup that subscribes.
Paramount+ on the other hand needs to draw in a large and demographically diverse audience to maintain a subscription base. The episode wasn’t a hit with your niche, but other ones will be. It definitely was a hit in our household.
