I feel like that’s the equivalent of a person from 100 years ago hearing about the internet, and saying “so if I wanted to get somebody a message in a hurry, I could pen a letter, have someone take a picture of it, take the picture to a developer, and then send that over the internet to somebody?”
I mean, you could, and it would be better than what you have to do now, but the actual way they’d do it in the future is probably a lot better.
I hated it with the exception of Uhura’s song, even fast-forwarded through La’an’s song, but the second they mentioned it reaching Klingons I was invested.
And when they hailed the Klingons it did not disappoint.
I absolutely hated that episode for most of it, even fast-forwarded through a few parts, because I am sick of every TV show needing a musical episode (or four, fricken Magicians…ugh).
And I said through most of it that the only redeeming thing, the only thing I was continuing to watch the episode for, was because they mentioned it got to the Klingons, and I wanted nothing more than to see the Klingons singing.
And boy did they not disappoint. We rewound and watched the Klingon section two more times. Just amazing. Made up for the whole thing (mostly).
I mean, even their science is called “magitek,” so I think it’s magic all the way down.
