You likely have to be a fan of the musical theater genre in order to connect with “Subspace Rhapsody” - but while this episode is not going to be for everyone, I strongly believe that all fans should applaud Strange New Worlds for undertaking this venture. While Star Trek has had plenty of musicality before, “Subspace Rhapsody” is the franchise’s first true musical, and the episode leans hard into the structure, tone, and some of the tropes of traditional musical theater. ![]() The last two episodes represent two of Strange New Worlds’ biggest swings yet, and they are both wildly different the universally well received crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks “Those Old Scientists,” and the dark and thoughtful war drama “Under the Cloak of War.”Īnd in what will be remembered as perhaps Star Trek’s most experimental season to date, the show switches things up once again and delivers a joyous musical episode that dives deep into the characters and their relationships in meaningful ways - in addition to all the singing and dancing. After months of hints, and a formal announcement at San Diego Comic Con, Star Trek’s first full-on musical episode has arrived - and if you are a musical fan you’re going to find a lot to love in this episode.
