I'm not one for musical episodes in general, but I'll still watch it... probably double-timing through the musical numbers as I tend to do.
On the other hand, they surprise dropped the Lower Decks crossover episode today and THAT was freaking hilarious.

I remember a few years back how there were all sorts of pron parody movies where they had better costumes and the characters looked more comic accurate than the real movies and TV shows.
I have a feeling Trek is next. Maybe they can find a Kirk that weights more than 120 pounds.

Indeed awesome. Loved the explanation for the animated Enterprise crew at the end. I was sure we'd get to see the refit NX-01 after being teased in Picard, but wasn't to be.

I was aware of this a year ago when I was still writing daily for the dailystartreknews site. I couldn’t talk about it, and now that I can, I don’t want to!
Just wait until Spock sings, “Pretty little maid am I”. (Ok, this is a lie)
It’s what crap wants to be when it grows up.

As a Lower Decks fan that episode was just a blast all the way through, so much fun. Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome absolutely killed it.

I have a friend who steadfastly refuses to watch LD because he hates the "noodle arms" animation, so when Spock had noodle arms at the end, I almost peed myself laughing.

I stopped watching STD a few episodes into Season 3 because I just couldn't take any more of its sh***y writing. I gave SNW a chance but enough is enough. I'm bailing out halfway through the second season. As Robert Meyer Burnett put it, SNW should have been the Tiffany standard of sci-fi on TV, but what we got instead is an outright farce. This is NOT Star Trek.
The way they're going with genetically engineered foods, vaccines and even the water, I think we're all at that point anyways! lol
And thus, the Great Tribulation began.....

I saw the first season of STD, only because I couldn't believe it didn't get any better. Never again. I never watched Picard because I have zero attachment to TNG. I'm a TOS fan. I dropped SNW after the first episode of season 2 when we realized that we didn't give a crap about any of the characters and some, we actively hated. None of it is Star Trek. It's all crap.
That and a dollar will get you any sized Coke at McDonald's.

I jumped on Paramount+ to watch "Those Old Scientists" and I found it a charming episode, very light hearted, and enjoyable. But I didn't think the Lower Decks characters translated well to live action. On Lower Decks, there is a certain level of manic to the characters that wasn't there in live action, and probably just wouldn't work in reality. It landed, it just didn't stick the landing for me.

SNW is becoming something like the girlfriend that you broke up with and is trying hard the get you back.
