I love this, because I still find myself humming at least two or three of the songs, and have rewatched that episode more times than I’m willing to admit. There were some serious bangers that got lodged in my head along with all the other random broadway musicals that are stuck in there. Just shows how different, and valid, peoples’ tastes can be. While yeah, they didn’t follow the musical form artfully, it’s because the plot was self-referentially ridiculous. They were stuck in a reality distortion field, forced to obey the laws of musicals because they blasted some Anything Goes at a cloud for the hell of it. I fucking love how absurd that is, and that they fully committed to it.

Yeah, I respect the hell out of them for doing the episode. Anyone who thinks old school Trek wasn't silly as hell never watched much of old school Trek. It fully committed to being extremely silly and that's great. I just felt like it could have been a better version of what it was.

And I stand by my comments about the Klingons. If anything, they should have been intervening to stop the Enterprise from closing the rift.
