This will either be really fun or total nonsense. I like that they’re trying new things instead of only recycling old Trek tropes with aliens that have a different kind of bump on the forehead.
I think the word you’re looking for is “and.”
Trek has a very, very long history of having weird shit happen to the crew because of space anomalies–
Once More With Feeling was in 2001, and Trek trying to follow in BTVS’s wake would have felt derivative at the time. The closest it came was The Doctor’s hallucinations… and that was hilarious.
If anyone can pull this off its the SNW crew.
There was also a musical episode of Xena. I forget which came first.
If the audience can roll with the Naked Time and the Naked Now, why not an ‘everyone breaks into song and dance’ episode?
Let’s face it: this isn’t even in the top five strangest things to happen to a Starfleet vessel. Arguable if it’s even in the top 10.
This sounds ridiculous. And I’m so down for it.
Umm… what. Is there an overlap between Star Trek fans and musical episode fans that I didn’t know about? 😅
YES
Computer, play Nightbird.
Hi, I didn’t know it until I heard about this episode but apparently I’m that overlap.
Noooooo. I despise musicals and hate it when the shows I like do one, I guess I can skip this episode
Hell, you could even skip commenting. 🤣
I love musicals, but not on my TV shows.

Ugh… why…!! Lets sing about this monster that eats children and farts fire lalalala. Ugh…
The show is good why fuck it up
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!
Pelia had better sing.
The Lower Decks crossover is bad enough, but this? No, just… no.
I had hope for this series, s01 was ok. Can’t watch it now.

For those who can’t read music, the song on the poster is (of course) the TOS theme, specifically the iconic part following the voiceover where “STAR TREK” appears on screen. In other words, what you expected it to be. 😉
And the TOS theme does have lyrics, though they’re terrible and Roddenberry just wrote them to unapologetically steal half of Courage’s royalties.
Ilia’s theme from TMP also had lyrics.
