I’m very much looking forward to the musical episode. When Buffy did a musical it was a nice change of pace and a lot of fun. I’m hoping for much the same from SNW’s musical.

    At the risk of sounding hypocritical since I posted the question about why Vic Fontaine sang so much in DS9, I do think that Subspace Rhapsody could do well, and I look forward to it. Unlike the Vic Fontaine songs that are one offs short pieces in a non-musical story, Subspace Rhapsody is intentionally a musical and it seems it comes along with some choreographed dancing.

    I do like musicals, and I do like Sci-Fi but I get the combination of both is gonna be really tough and not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love that SNW is bold and secure enough to give this a try. From all Sci-Fi shows out there, SNW is probably the best series to give this a shot.

    Note that Celia Rose Gooding was a Tony Award-nominated, Grammy Award-winning Broadway singer before they joined Star Trek. The other cast members, not so much singing experience, but we shall see. Whatever happens this Thursday, can’t say it won’t be interesting to see.
