This Is Why 'Strange New Worlds' Musical Episode Works

Like La’an, maybe genre shows need to take chances more often.

Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 9.Star Trek: Strange New Worlds debuted the franchise’s first-ever musical-themed episode with "Subspace Rhapsody," and for those of us filled with trepidation over how the creators would pull it off... well, they did.

What starts off as a light-hearted quirk turns into a security risk, especially once Captain Christopher Pike , and his partner, USS Cayuga captain Marie Batel , break into a fight in verse on the bridge — and this is what sets “Subspace Rhapsody” up for success. It’s obvious that we can’t have Starfleet officers spilling their guts out in front of their crew.

Uhura has also been staving off connections, but mostly because her work has kept her so busy. It’s meant she’s been on her own on a ship full of people who are, or at least want to be, her friends. Uhura finally acknowledges how isolated she’s been since the death of her entire family, and then her mentor Lt. Hemmer , in the heart-rending “Keep Us Connected” — and through the song, Uhura discovers a foundational truth about Star Trek: the best way to save the day is by doing it together.
