Arguably one of the best moments in the SNW Musical episode subspace rhapsody was Bruce Horak Cameo as the captain of the Klingon boy band. But there is a deleted scene of the opera version that while absolutly best scene won, would be fun to see released to fans
I ran Klingon fleets on STO for so long that part of me identifies as tlhIngan. I own a bat'leth. I thought it was the bomb. ;)
Really hope it can be released to fans maybe at a con then online
God I fucking hate musical throwaway episodes
No throwaway given the number of relationships that don’t seem likely to move forward after the episode.
Iade it 15 minutes. Fucking waste of time. Also, there is a reason that it’s score is in the 40% range where every single other episode is in the 80% range.
I didn’t sign up to watch Star Trek: the shitty ass musical.
Great, but this episode actually moved forward lots of character arcs via it’s songs. It was a cleaver way to do it as characters can just belt out their emotions in song under “musical rules” so they could pack the episode.
I thought the subtle change to the opening credits was great too. I noticed they did that on These Old Scientists too, so I’m wondering if there were others I missed in this or prior seasons.
finally, best use of autotune tech
For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9’s “Playing God” had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it’s about halfway into the video below:

I mean, the opera version was 100% what I was expecting. The boy band version was, however, the funniest one possible

It wasn’t just any kind of boy band.
It was K-pop.
I can understand their dishonor.

K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.
CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world 9 months ago
In this case the K in K-pop stands for Klingon

On Qo’nos they just call it pop

There was just two little of it.

It was also more in-line with the story - Klingon opera doesn’t really belong in American-style musical theatre, while it’s easier to slot this sort of pop into that style.
