It's my new favourite thing, and I've been obsessively listening to Apologies since I saw it. The way Ethan Peck pulls off a confused Spock crooning about the warp core, then wondering in song why he's doing so, is priceless. They all do an incredible job with the singing, but Christina Chong - who plays Security Officer La'an Noonien-Singh - is the standout for me. Both in the ensemble numbers and her solo. Gold.

OK, so I was cringing in advance of watching the musical episode of Strange New Worlds that I'd heard about (s02e09). But I was wrong.
It's not just a Wormhole Extreme (StarGate SG:1). They've folded into cutely into a sci-fi premise, and there is character development, and payoff for earlier events. The songs are fun, and the crew are suprisingly good singers, presuming it's all them. But if not they've matched the voices bloody well.
Aggressive #musical hot take: Soundchecks are absolutely stupid and worthless. Whatever your EQ is when that room is empty will be gone by the time you fill that space with bodies. You really need to wait until people are IN the space, then run soundcheck. Anything else means you’re yelling at the soundperson all night.

Just got around to watching S2E9 of Star Trek: Brave New Worlds - Subspace Rhapsody. If you are a fan of the obligatory musical episode (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Once More, with Feeling S6E7 was a classic), then you should watch! Celia Rose Gooding stole the show for me. Her songs were especially good. Nichelle Nichols would have been so proud. #startrekbravenewworlds#musical
I’m not a fan of musicals and I was fully expecting to hate this but, dammit, it worked… 🖖☺️
