I’m actually not a huge musical fan, but I do enjoy it when it’s worked into something I already enjoy like Trek, as long as the song writing is good, I’m hyped.
Dan Abbnett managed to pull of a musical issue of his comic Lawless, a gritty space western set in the Judge Dreed-verse, with a recorded soundtrack to listen to while reading and it was dope. I reckon SNW can pull it off.
I am really struggling to get excited about a Trek entry for the first time in my life with this one.
Ironically, I’ve always thought a S31 show could work if handled like “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy” in space. However how they handled it in Dis makes me think this will be Mission Impossible in space and that doesn’t sound appealing to me.
Makes sense. I feel like Trek fans keeps getting screwed over with Cons lately though. Remember the con where they told the UK Discovery was still on Netflix only to pull it a few days later?
I’ve managed to find all of SNW, Prodigy and Discovery as Torrents as far as I’m in the UK and refuse to pay for P+ when half the content is still on Netflix and Amazon.
I mean. I prefered DS9s use of swing and lounge to TNGs obsession with poetry, classical and opera music. Glad we’ve moved past that now and we’re getting stuff like Klingon punk in lower decks
What we used to call a “bottle episode” younger people now call “filler” as they’ve grown up in a world where shows are designed to be binged as a whole in a few days, not slowly eased out over 24 weeks of the year.
