He is command track the other officers were engineering or security etc.

Maybe not “acting captain” but certainly I have seen equivalent in the merchant navy of a lower bridge officer being effectively in command of the vessel including more senior engineer

Yes in new hope that holds up…but what about on endor in Return of Jedi

I wonder if “Boimler, he guesses the charade” will enter the tamarian lexicon by kayshon for somebody finally getting it.

I really enjoyed this one, from captain knowing somthing was up to the careing security team

AHH the space Oirish

The whole point was scans were down UNTIL they slammed saucer into planet. They couldn’t detect chapel due to the beam the saucer was used to destroy

Isn’t that why you have bottle episodes that keep things more like a stage show (some of best and some.of worst are bottles) and also you have episodes centered on part of the cast maybe a few to give others a break then another charecter has an episode. Even in the old series they found ways around the issues.

I think they are still trying diplomacy with the gorn, admiral april says they want to try to bring them in and see if they can be allies. Star fleet doesn’t want to be outward threat

Also I think admirals are downplaying the gorn threat, maybe not to scare citizens

But it felt packed and so became a chore of too much of a thing…the fact each of 5 main character needed their own 5mintues of it

I know musicals breaks the show don’t tell a bit as you can sing not show…but they seemed to use that excuse to get right back round to tell tell tell even in song form

Really hope it can be released to fans maybe at a con then online

But but lotus eaters was that “she is Erica Ortegas…she drives the ship”…/s

Auto tune fits with frequencies being blasted out and then trying to talk and end up singing

I think many of the middle songs were pretty samey too.

Someone singing their angst alone in a Cgi set. Liked first and last and chapels was good, but agree others were a bit long which made the overall episdoe seem long.

I really respect them trying and there are some great moments

Wow, wish they would release the opera to fans

I was expecting fun and was mildly dissapointed by way too much angst.

I enjoyed opening and the closer and chapels song was fun. But the other songs seemed pretty samey with each charecter privately singing their angst in a sterile cgi room. Some of it felt chore. I really glad they tried and the last song/scene was a great concept but personally didn’t land for me.

Agree. I love musicals (Buffy musical episode, scmigadoom) and was really looking forward to this. The first song I though yes this is great… but when Una started singing to Kirk I thought meh…and the songs never really got any better. Just got too much into the angst and no joy (except chapels song that was a banger and should have been the tone of all the other songs)

The finale was okay and as plot point great idea and Bruce as singing Klingon great cameo, but by that point I was so down it rushed up too much

Does that include orville

How can the USS Kelcie Mae create a warp bubble with only one nacelle when warp physics 101 states two are needed to form the bubble between them.

I wonder how many times crew get blackout/asleep and for a joke their mates put them in the holodeck for “computer end programme” to be a wake up meme.

isnt it meant to be a halfway house between TOS to TNG
