MODERATORS
Are they going to explain why everyone is suddenly singing and dancing (like some kind of subspace interference that causes the crew to break into songs) or are they treating it as artistic license for this episode?
It will likely be similar to TOS S01E04 & TNG S01E03.

While I don't mind the idea it has to be done right to work. And i don't trust modern trek to do it right.

I can't believe snw beat Orville to a LARP and a musical ep
I know this is a staple troupe that shows drag out but who actually enjoys these musical episodes. Like I get it, it’s novel but I’m not sure if I’m the demographic but since a lot of the shows I’ve watched has had these episodes I’m wondering if I’m not supposed to like them also… but the record I’m skipping this one. All the singing is cringe and gets in the way of the storytelling. I’m fine with zany antics but not with random song and dance escapades.
I generally love musical episodes (OMWF is my favorite Buffy episode and the musical episodes of the Magicians are always the best episodes of that show), but there are some stinkers (Fringe did it? Why?) and I'm really not at all sure that SNW is the right platform for this (It would work better on Lower Decks).
But I've been disappointed with SNW season 2 relative to season 1. I'm not sure SNW is going to keep me as a viewer
novel
its overplayed, so it cannot be novel
I get you but I meant for the show as in this specific series hasn’t done one yet but I agree with you that we don’t need another one

I had hope for this series, s01 was ok. Can't watch it now.
The Lower Decks crossover is bad enough, but this? No, just... no.
