LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.

I thought it was fun but borrowed a little too much from Buffy’s Once More With Feeling. The whole, the songs are making us spill out feelings. Although the bunny reference was a nice touch.

I loved the bunnies reference until I realised that in that moment they were talking about alternate realities. A better Buffy reference might have been to mention the reality where everything was shrimp 😆

I mean, a lot of people who watch this probably don’t even know what Buffy is. I’ve never watched Buffy, it’s a pretty old show.

Well thanks for that. Now I feel old. 😥

Next you’ll tell me you weren’t even born in this century!

Damn…get off my lawn, whippersnapper!

I didn’t even register the bunny reference! Oh, that was epic…

I also appreciated that they added vocals to the intro, but not over the top, just enough.

Nope, can’t do it. I was afraid of the LD crossover but I got through it. But this, I can’t watch it. I got through a couple minutes and had to turn it off.

Hmm, it looks like we’re not allowed to dislike the musical episode here… Regardless, I’m with you.

With rare exceptions, I just can’t stand musicals. The forced jauntiness, hollow emotion, and in this case autotuned singing. Ugh! Give me normal acting or give me death (today is a good day for it).
