Perhaps I'm biased because I find musicals appalling, but this episode (among many others this season) was utterly ridiculous. The 1 star I'm giving, is for them trying something different... but failing miserably. Just like the utterly annoying cross-over episode with Lower Decks. How people can stand that trash, is beyond me.
How does suddenly every single staff member know how to sing, with a proper singing voice, able to keep rhythm and even coming up with rhymes to formulate their message on the spot. Not one person bursts out into laughter, about how ridiculous the situation is. Everyone just takes it seriously and in one scene everyone literally starts dancing as if they're on Broadway... because they all suddenly learned how to do that as well, without any explanation. It just makes no sense whatsoever. I tried skipping every singing part, but the plot we're left with is (once again) about relationship struggles and other trivial subjects, that no one wants to hear about. IT'S STAR TREK, NOT SOME SOAP SERIES! Where's the science? Where's the adventure? I think this 3rd season is where I stop watching yet another franchise, that started off so good.
