Yet another absolutely classic Trek episode.  Hit all the classic moments.

I find the actor who plays Sam Kirk has more James vibes than the James actor.  Should have flipped them. 

Pelia needs MORE screen time.  Much more.

Strange New Worlds is just flexing at this point.

edit: And for those curious about the Lower Decks crossover being dropped today instead of Thursday, they had timed the season around San Diego Comic-Con, and they showed the Lower Decks crossover at Comic-Con today.

That will either be awesome or epically bad.  Glad to see them taking risks.

The actress who plays Uhura got her start on Broadway, has a Grammy for a Broadway recording, and has been nominated for at least one Tony so she'll probably be the highlight.

We've seen Spock/Number One doing the Major-General song from Pirates of Penzance when they were stuck in the turbolift, so they can sing.

Episode 8 will drop Thursday. The season is just being moved up a week. So 3 new SNW episodes in 7 days

Yeah, they kept it under wraps that they were going to screen the Lower Decks crossover at Comic-Con.  Going by social media, everybody loved it.

For Paramount to be screening a full episode at Comic-Con and then dropping the trailer for a full-blown musical episode (and the fact that they are doing a full-blown musical episode), they must really be happy with SNW.  And it seems like there are a lot more Lower Decks fans around these days.

I rarely watch episodes again, at least not very soon.

Watched this one again tonight.  It's such a perfect episode.  SNW has arguably two of the best back-to-back seasons out of any of the ST series.

Jonathan Frakes maybe my favorite of the TV directors. 

I'll spoiler just in case since some may not realize it's out already.

Damn that was basically what I wanted to see for those who survived the Dominion War or the Voyager crew post-Delta Quadrant 

Dark and heavy and perfectly slotted between the fun crossover and next week’s musical

Yep, another brilliant episode. Reminds me of DS9 siege 

SNW’s quickly becoming the best Trek series…

So he was the butcher because he killed 3 dudes?  That part wasn't explained very well.

Expand  

I thought it’s because SF believed he was murdering civilians and kids, including Klingon non-soldiers.

The doc I meant.  He killed 3 Klingon warlords and considered himself a monster.

Expand  

Probably because he believes/believed he’s a doctor who is supposed to save live, not take them as a soldier. Minus poor Alvarado who just poofed out of existence 

This episode was a grand slam of questions about the morality of war and sacrificing lives

I thought he killed a lot more, they just showed the end. ymmv

Great episode. It was driving me nuts who was playing the Klingon because his voice was so familiar that I had to look it up.

How TF is it possible for this show to get better every episode? Uhura, Chappel and La'an have some serious vocal talent. I really liked it and it worked very well, but let's keep this a one off. It was indeed a strange new plot where no Trek has gone before. But could you imagine if TOS had tried this? I want a number from Bones down by the Suwannee. HA!

That was awesome. They fucking crushed that. Both serious yet fun. Chapel’s number was my favorite

Nope they suck. The best thing about 10-12 episodes streaming versus 20-25 on tv is the lack of dead weight episodes like playing baseball on DS9

I feel like DS9 had a lot less crappy/dead weight episodes than most of the post-TOS series, because they were focusing on their main arcs/Ronald Moore was getting shit done, etc..  TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise had plenty of filler at times.

I can't point to a SNW episode and say "yeah, that's a throw-away and did nothing to advance anything."

Maybe the fairy tale nebula in season 1? The only episode I didn’t care for

I love SNW, but I'll take a holodeck episode over that singing shit any day of the week, I don't care how many of the staff have great pipes. I, and TNG accept your apology

If we had gotten the TOS spin-off in the 70s, Star Trek Phase II, this is exactly what it would have looked like.

Because this was Battlestar Galactica in the late 70s

Hell, Jane Seymour, Dirk Benedict, and Richard Hatch were just begging to bust out into song, they were all like "we can sing better than those double-faced lounge singers"

Not big on musicals, but for my money, SNW has been the best Trek since season 4-7 of DS9 even with some of the goofier hijinks.

Maybe its just watching Trek with older eyes and seeing Pike as, more-or-less, Captain "Dad We All Deserve", but SNW (and Lower Decks for us uber-dorks) seems to have found the sweet spot between allegory and escapism from our own modern hellscape.
