All right, #Trekkies. 🖖
I really wanted to re-watch the latest episode before posting, but 'twas not to be.
Nonetheless, we dive into a lovely musical of an episode this time on #StrangeNewWorlds. In it, we explore the role of play in our lives, recognize that harmony requires the celebration of difference, and... embrace the collapse of not one but *two* alternate realities within this very silly but also *deeply* #StarTrek improbability field.

@MLClark I really enjoyed this one, and as a rule I'm not much for musicals (despite high school and college theater). Christina Chong's solo lament holds up to any popular showstopper and she absolutely killed it. Also, it was a nice touch to have both the a capella group sing the opening theme, and in the outro after the big finale, they played the original TOS theme music while everyone was congratulating themselves.
Oh, the a capella group was great! And I wholeheartedly agree: Chong crushed it. Wrenching character arc this season, but a fantastic showcase for her acting.
