Well, thanks to the motion picture, some of the space scenes at the start of the film are possible.
Would we still have trek as it is today without the movies… I guess we would be missing a some of Kirk/Spock history, but i suspect the TV shows really kept it alive.

The story and plot points were good, but SOME of the songs where maybe a minute too long for my taste. Any song with Spock is good, but the autotune… Yikes. Lol
I would prefer the singing be bad as it would align closer to reality for people that normally do not sing. With that said, it is possible this anomaly caused all the auto as it knows no one can sing and they need to be auto tuned. 🐒

It would be nice to have curtains that absorb street noise.
Some custom curtain tailors offer a fabric that claims to be soundproof. It’s a little pricey. Not absurdly pricey, but it’s also a bit hard to be confident that such thin fabrics can absorb much sound (they claim 20%).
I would prefer to try hacks. I’ve heard that thick furniture moving pads absorb sound well. I’ve also heard that fiberous fabrics can be effective. For the moment, I probably want to pass on edgy ideas like egg cartons. Maybe later on those. What fabrics are decent for reducing sound? Specifically, I’m wondering about carpets or painter’s drop cloths. Not the simple white canvas drop cloths, but the thicker drop cloths may out of recycled fabrics.
Sound absorbing materials with some space between them will work best, so if you go with curtains you’ll want to get the double curtain rod to put in two sets. The space between the material helps reduce the transfer of sound energy.
White noise machines do wonders for killing external noise, but then that’s all you hear. Similar to running a loud fan, I can’t hear anything when my fan is running.
Great episode. Wish there was more time to explore the planet with the away team. Also, what does Una do again? I can already see why Spock replaces her as first officer…
