Interaction with a subspace fold leaves the crew of the Enterprise singing in this musical themed episode of Strange New Worlds.
Season two of Strange New Worlds continues to break new ground in Star Trek, and this week, they do so by presenting the first ever Star Trek musical. You read that right. A Star Trek musical. In this episode of Warp Trails, we are discussing everything that made this episode work as both a Star Trek story and a musical. In addition, we discuss the various relationship issues that arise between La’An Noonien-Sing and James T. Kirk (if you could call what they had a relationship), Captain Pike and Captain Batel, and Nurse Christine Chapel and Spock. This episode also happens to be the 100 the episode of Warp Trails. Thanks for joining us for this milestone epiosde!
In this episode, we discuss:
- How this episode of Strange New Worlds works as a musical,
- Nurse Chapel’s receipt of an acceptance letter to a prestigious fellowship and what it means for her and Spock.
- A resolution to La’An Noonien-Singh’s feelings for James T. Kirk,
- “A Private Conversation” between Captain Pike and Captain Batel about a cancelled vacation, and
- Musical Klingons looking to regain their honor.
