Logline
An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.

Some of the lyrics were really clever and fun:
Spock: "I solved for the Y in my computation ... but the variable so devastating: I'm the ex / X".
At the same time: "When we gain control again, I confess"
- La'an / Pelia: "I'll miss the singing"
- Spock: "I won't miss singing"
Spock: "I solved for the Y in my computation ... but the variable so devastating: I'm the ex / X".
Thanks. Now I get it. IIRC the subtitles had "solved for the why" and then the X didn't make any sense. That is indeed clever.
My favourite Spock bit came at the end during the grande finale. Everyone was singing "we know our purpose, to protect the mission – our prime directive", and Spock just goes "not exactly". 😄
