The musical episode doesn’t disappoint…

    OK, I watched it. I really enjoyed it as a musical, but as expected, it didn’t feel like Star Trek—especially when the Klingons showed up at the end and it basically became a parody. I think I could have bought it more as something like Q influence, but they couldn’t do that yet.

    Aside from that, La’an’s actress has a set of pipes on her, wow. She could be a professional singer. There’s plenty of talent all around, though.

    Buffy did it first, and that episode had way better lyrics and “character voices” in the writing, but there was no comparison on vocals. Buffy just had better characters in the first place, and more history when it got to its musical episode (it was during the show’s sixth season).

      I had to think of Buffy too. Maybe it was too early for a musical, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Especially that Spock was the first to sing. And in the last song he was the first to act normal which was very Spock-like. I think the characters came through in the songs.
