Star Trek Meme Nails The Problem With Criticism Of SNW’s Musical Episode

A Star Trek meme circulated on social media nails the hypocrisy of the criticisms leveled against Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ musical episode. “Subspace Rhapsody” is the first musical episode in Star Trek‘s 57-year history, but a Star Trek musical isn’t to everybody’s tastes. Back in the 1990s, Ronald D. Moore had wanted to do a musical episode of either Star Trek: The Next Generation or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but the idea was nixed by Rick Berman, who felt that musical theater didn’t gel with Trek‘s serious sci-fi show aesthetic.

Twitter reminds fans that Star Trek had a 57-year-long history of embracing genre and silliness before Strange New Worlds’ comedy musical episode.
