Strange New Musical Express

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is doing a musical. On top of the live-action Lower Decks crossover, the last Spock spotlight and getting Ethan Peck to model the infamous Spock helmet in a promotional bit they’re really (boldly) going for things Trek never quite got around to before. So it’s early for this specific show to go this weird, just not the universe in general. It took Buffy six years to get here, after all. It still feels like risking a Xena situation, especially with its short seasons, of not having enough normal episodes so the weird ones outweigh them.
