Finale: Strange New Worlds, Season 2

Helluva cliffhanger, almost as good as “Mr. Worf… fire.”

Now, since the Gorn are more prominent on this show than they were in The Original Series/TOS/Those Old Scientists, would it be too much to think that we’re gonna see the Metrons in place of the Organians in next season’s Season 3 premiere, where they put a stop to hostilities, but not before having Pike fight the Gorn Captain?

Because you sure as hell can’t tell me this takes place in the TOS/Prime timeline if Starfleet is about to go to war with the Gorn, years before the Cestus III incident.

Also, yay, it’s Scotty!

Looking forward to next season.

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.
