subspace rhapsody!

you guys.

if you're not watching strange new worlds, i don't know what to tell you, but i hope it's because star trek just isn't your thing. because it's the best trek ever. i'm done being wishy-washy about whether i'm betraying my first star trek love, the original series, by saying that kind of thing -- it's flat-out true. and anyway, snw makes tos better with every episode.

this one is pure, for-sure, the tops, though.

when i saw they were doing a musical episode, i kind of thought it would go one of two ways: (1) it would be too silly and i'd enjoy it but think they pushed the envelope too far, even if i respect me some envelope-pushing in a big way ... or (2) it would be the best thing ever.

honestly, i feel SO (shift-key level) dumb for thinking it could go two ways. i mean, what was wrong with me?

with this crew, and this cast, and these people behind the show working as hard as they can to make it absolutely brilliant and true, it was always going to be the best thing ever.

i just ... i can't even express how my heart feels about this episode.

if you're a trekkie/trekker, and you haven't already, go watch it. (best to watch the rest of strange new worlds first if you haven't given it a try, though. it will be worth it, i promise!)

i'll be going back to this one over and over for a long time!
