I think I Love Lucy and Gilligan's Island did it, but I think those were mostly plays-within-plays? Can't recall my Nick at Nite well enough.

There's just no catchy songs in the SNW one, I didn't go away from it remembering any of it. I get what they wanted to do but it didn't work at all for me

The SNW musical songs are better than anything from Disney in decades. I just wish the entire episode was more clever about it how and why the singing happens. Once More With Feeling isn’t that good. It’s fine, but it’s not great. Buffy in general is really bland and only good when it’s kept in my memory and not revisited. Someone else said it, but the Scrubs musical is better. Another show that isn’t particularly easy to watch these days, but this episode is much more enjoyable to rewatch. Also, everyone is sleeping on The Gang Turns Black for best tv show musical.

I am the X comes close, but mostly due to its word play and lyrics. There wasn't an earworm . I loved it, mind you, but it wasn't like any song was stuck in my head the next day like with other musicals.

TOS also had Uhura’s odd little number about how sinisterly sexy Spock is in one of the early eps. and of course “Bitter Dregs”

Moana had good music, Encanto as well. Disenchanted was fun but not as good as the first. Disney is not doing altogether great on musicals at the moment but still have a few gems in the last decade.

Big biiiiiig Variety article about the current state of things: The Future of ‘Star Trek’: From ‘Starfleet Academy’ to New Movies and Michelle Yeoh, How the 58-Year-Old Franchise Is Planning for the Next Generation of Fans   Seems pretty positive overall, I guess that tease about a young Rachel Garrett tells us when the Section 31 movie takes place lol

From the sounds of it it'll be a few decades before the Enterprise-C era, given that Garrett is young. I'm guessing around the 2310s.

MikeJF posted:Well, it means they'll be loving up Connie Refit and Excelsior class derived art deco era designs instead of Ambassador Class style designs. Nothing could be worse than the design of the Constitution in JJ's films, particularly the A. Thing was gently caress ugly and they gave it one of those crusty-eyed dog underbites for some reason. I'm not jazzed about Strange New Worlds, but their enterprise looks fine. Honestly I don't even care if they change the design. The more the better really, then I won't have to move my C model from the office out of some feeling of guilt by association.

Maybe they'll be fine but I really can't help but expect that even if they retain most of the movie era designs they're going to do the raw gunmetal finish they love so much.
