They filmed a version of the scene with Klingon opera instead, but it wasn’t nearly as fun in my opinion. Plus, the Klingons were supposed to have felt that the singing was dishonorable, and they been shown to sing Klingon songs on duty.

I like the show, but it keeps nostalgia bating and it’s getting annoying. The balance of terror what-if was cool. I don’t think I will ever get over that they chose to make a boy band joke instead if doing klingon opera in subspace rhapsody. The wedding episode was fun but after watching it, annoying.

You know what, that’s a fair point that I hadn’t considered.

I’m not sure if that was the original intent of the writers, but that’s how I think of it anyway!

It’s the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.
And it’s not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It’s the decision from above that SNW’s sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.
We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing…?

The best episodes are honestly when it does. The cross over with lower decks was good. I do like how they were handling the nurse in season 3 chapel. With her going to her husband’s dig, but those were off screen subtle references without any larger implications of what her destiny is with Korby. Have Trelene pop up was kinda a double dose. I enjoyed it on the ride but after I’m just like, ‘what did the show do on its own?’ Ad Astra per Aspera was good. So was Under the Cloak of War. It’s not a bad show it just keeps stretching too much.
