Anything Goes

So that was a thing.

Can’t say I loved it, but it was a lesser episode compared to the previous two week’s offerings.

Personally I think “Once More, With Feeling” and “Duet” were better musical episodes in their respective series.  And like those two episodes, “Subspace Rhapsody” was a character-centric piece.  Character story arcs were moved along, relationships developed and in one case, ending?

I do like that they are still trying to connect the dots with The Original Series and even the TOS films with the mentioning of a couple of characters who are quite important for the characters associated with them.

And the song that Spock/Ethan Peck sang?  Hell, that could have been me describing my past relationships.

I eagerly await the soundtrack.

Also, I nominate Christina Chong as title sequence singer for the next Bond film, based on her performance not in this episode, but from this music video that she has released.

And now I wanna see Bruce Horak leading a Klingon Boy Band.  K-Pop takes on a new meaning, eh?

Give it a shot.

Saturday

I spent a ridiculous amount of time today going though some stacks of old CDs that I had not transferred to my iPod/iPad.

I came across a lot of 90s music that I haven’t listened to since, well, the 90s, of bands that I have no interest in listening to now, nor can I recall any of their songs, like Everclear, Frente, Belly, Big Audio Dynamite, and others.

All this started because I discovered that I did not have the D2: The Mighty Ducks soundtrack in my library.

I ended up adding like 30+ CDs to the library, including some Disney CDs, some MTV Unplugged stuff, all three Austin Powers movies music, and some other movie stuff.

Also, John Williams Olympic music, and the national anthems of 16 countries.

I bought a lot of odd CDs over the years.

A while ago I added the sound effects from Star Trek The Original series.

And how did I also not have Paula Abdul’s “Forever Your Girl” in my library?

I must have started doing this at about 10 this morning, and 6 hours later I realized that I was hungry.

I ended up driving out to Five Guys for a burger and fries.

Currently I’m finishing up the day with the Warriors game, and learning how to play Dinosaur Island.
