    I was not a fan of this last season. Did they lose a bunch of the writers,? What happened ?

        Yeah there were some bad S2s too. I also did not like the singing.
        I personally dislike musicals so I assumed I was biased. Maybe others liked it. ?

        Only tv show a musical episode has ever worked in, imo, is Fx Legion. Cause it made sense to the premise.

        The Vulcan episode in s3 was so cringe I kept waiting for some explanation but it never came.

        Being Vulcan doesn’t make you hostile and assertive Wtf?

        Season 1 was pretty good from my memory. How far they have strayed.

        Usually season 1 of any new branch is the roughest.

          It’s one of my favorite episodes. That along with the holodeck episode in season 3.

          they probably tried to copy the voyager episode when robert picardo was singing, the thing is robert was an opera singer, so he sounded really good. yea i think snw s1 was good, only if they stop teasing with the romulans of each series. it was the same for picard, teased with s1 romulans than dropped, and teasted with GOOD borg alliance, than dropped.

          wasnt the gorn mostly season 2, but they dint really do good in that area.

            Now that you mention the gorn. I have so many issues with the gorn.

            Like why don’t they raise cattle to be incubators?

            Also. If they absolutely require a sentient alien host. How could they have evolved to be like that ?

            Why would a species capable of interstellar travel spend all their time and resources hunting down other aliens for baby making. ? Making whole breeding planets. Whole damn planets.

            Where they also let the potential incubators run around and put up a fight.

            That’s just the dumbest thing ever.

              thats wierd, so they made gorn into a parasitoid species, aka ALIENS. why not as simple as laying eggs, no need for convoluted backstory.

            robert was an opera singer, so he sounded really good.

            Are you saying the singing was bad in Subspace Rhapsody because I thought most of them had great singing voices. The exception being M’Benga who you could tell was autotuned.

            I would say Chapel crushed her song and Uhura’s was really good, too. The rest were just average singers but that’s a musical episode for you. At least they didn’t change out the voice actors for different singers. That’s always jarring when they do that.

              I just generally don’t like musicals as a rule. I think it stems from me not understanding musicals as a kid. I always thought it was so illogical that people would start dancing and signing in the middle of something serious. And I just thought it was so dumb and why didn’t anyone else realize that no body behaves like that !?!

              I don’t know what age I was when I realized that it’s a type of story telling.

              Probably way older than I should have been. But to this day I still seem to resent musicals because “they don’t make sense”.

              😅

              I actually am slightly embarrassed to admit I was that dense as a kid/teen. But I was.
