Final Thoughts on Subspace Rhapsody.

Ever since I was a nerdy theater kid so many decades ago, I have been hoping for something like this. It hit me in all the feels.

During the final number, when they were monitoring the Improbability Levels, it definitely reminded me of the Improbability Drive from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It seemed just as silly, in the best way possible.

The brief interlude in the finale with rapping Klingons was just chef's kiss.

I loved that Uhura really got to shine in this episode, since she was the most musical character in the Original Series.

On the negative side, I still really wish they wouldn't kept shoehorning Jim Kirk into this season. I have no problem with his characterization or the actor, but his presence seems unnecessary, and just a silly (not in a good way) attempt to connect it to TOS more than is necessary.

But, all in all, I absolutely loved this episode, so very much.

Celia Rose Gooding is so impressive. Uhura's solo number is so beautiful, touching, moving, emotional, and brilliantly sung.

"Nobody wants a singing Klingon"

You have no idea how much I want a singing Klingon. Preferably Kor. I really would've liked Kor to show up singing.

They've got to stop doing weird time travel episodes as an excuse to shoehorn Kirk into the series. The series can stand on its own without constantly hearkening forward to the Original Series.

Also, she went back to the 21st century? Looks like about our time. And Khan was just a little boy? He was an adult conquering nations in the 90s, but he's a little boy in the 2020s?

They don't really care about the established timeline at all, do they?
