If I had a nickel for every time Uhura solved a problem by singing at it, I'd have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's the same number as how many times Chakotay's been lost in the Delta Quadrant.
This was a fun episode. Some bangers, though I agree with some of the people who think some songs could have been shortened. The unexpected Klingon boy band was an amazing gag that didn't overstay its welcome. Overall, I think it's great to have Trek embrace the old-school campiness from time to time.
Anyone else convinced Captain Batel is kinda doomed? Pike got off the relationship trauma fairly easily in this episode.
spoiler
The preview clip from "The Ready Room" suggests she's about to have a very bad day, but maybe it's a fakeout.D:
I suspect she'll die in this season finale. I just get those vibes.
Personally, I want to see Pike and Una happen. They're already mom and dad to the rest of the crew (which skews really young).
I mean never say never? If I'm remembering the Cage correctly the Talosians at least thought there would be potential there. Though this is the much younger and possibly a little sexist Pike.
