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.

The story and plot points were good, but SOME of the songs where maybe a minute too long for my taste. Any song with Spock is good, but the autotune... Yikes. Lol
Maybe not on my rewatch list.
I think many of the middle songs were pretty samey too.
Someone singing their angst alone in a Cgi set. Liked first and last and chapels was good, but agree others were a bit long which made the overall episdoe seem long.
I really respect them trying and there are some great moments
My thought was, how bad would it be without autotune? 😬
I just enjoyed it for what it was at surface level, though. First, the Orville, then lower decks and now this showed that star trek is big enough to be funny and thought-provoking.
I would prefer the singing be bad as it would align closer to reality for people that normally do not sing. With that said, it is possible this anomaly caused all the auto as it knows no one can sing and they need to be auto tuned. 🐒
Maybe the universal translators got confused with the probability field and Auto-Tuned everyone 😆
Auto tune fits with frequencies being blasted out and then trying to talk and end up singing
I abhor autotune like nobody's business, I also loathe musicals. The combination of these two has kept me from watching this one so far. I might have to get pretty drunk one night I guess
