They had most of the big musical tropes, including a rebuke and reprise (nurse chapel and Spock’s subsequent song).

I felt Soong’s song was a direct reference to On My Own from Les Miserable, but that’s a personal favorite of mine so I could be projecting.

Overall, an excellent episode.

I think a reprise is technically when a song is used again as an expansion on / evolution of a certain theme. The best example that comes to mind is from Phantom of the Opera where the phantom cry- sings to himself after he witnesses Cristine confess her love to the other guy.

Painting with a broad brush here, but this episode definitely feels like it was made by huge Broadway musical nerds 🤣

I’m gonna be that guy. I loved Disco and Picard. I even liked Enterprise.

Lowe Decks, followed by SNW, are strong contenders for second favorite trek behind TNG

They’ve barely built about 20K of them so far. Demand outstrips supply, yes, but it’s a low bar.

Belief in Clean Coal would be an improvement for his brain!

He’s currently trying to pave Florida roads with literal radioactive mining waste.
