This needs to be the top comment. 😆
Not lost on me that Robert Wise, who directed ‘Sound of Music,’ also directed ‘ST: The Motion Picture.’
And “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, which apparently Captain Pike plays on repeat.
Before there was the Kobayashi Maru, there was Pike’s ‘Klaatu Barada Nikto’ test…

“When you transported the people off the planet, did you say the words to send them to the correct ship?”
“Yeah, basically.”
“Did you beam them to THIS SHIP?!?!”
“Look, maybe I didn’t send them to our ship. But basically I sent them to A ship, yeah.”
I loved the episode. Some people hate it and say it’s way out of tune for Star Trek, but I don’t think it’s any worse than the crew turning into Robin Hood or being trapped in a board game
Who wants to guess which of the main cast was previously nominated for a Tony?
I admit I was delighted with that episode!
So was I, which is saying a lot because musicals aren’t my scene.
You and M’Benga.
🎵The warp fields are alive with the sound of music🎵
🎵With songs they have sung for a thousand light years🎵
Musical episodes always take me out of the immersion of the show because I’m always trying to figure out who’s actually a good singer and who was severely auto tuned to compensate.
I will say that overall I enjoyed the episode. The Klingons had me rolling, and I really liked the psuedo-science explanation for why everyone one was singing.
