The cast of 'Strange New Worlds' brings their A-game to 'Subspace Rhapsody,' locking it in as one of the best episodes in the franchise.
Strange New Worlds has officially taken Star Trek where no other series within the franchise has gone before with its very first musical episode. The penultimate episode of Season 2, "Subspace Rhapsody," sees the crew of the USS Enterprise collide with an anomaly that sends the entire federation into an alternate dimension powered by song.
Pike is looking to move things with Captain Marie Batel to the next level as the two attempt to plan their first vacation together; however, it's not going very well, as the two clearly have different ideas about what makes for the ideal getaway. Elsewhere, La'an and Una prepare to welcome Kirk aboard in order to "show him the ropes" before he begins his official commission as first officer of the USS Farragut.
The Crew of the Enterprise Can't Stop Singing on 'Strange New Worlds' Season 2 The crew gathers for an emergency meeting in the ready room as they try to understand what just happened. Spock explains that sending a song into the subspace field essentially caused the ship to slip into a musical reality, one to which they've become tethered, so their random bouts of singing are likely far from over.
When their attempt to close the anomaly backfires, Batel hails the Enterprise from the Cayuga, immediately showing that their experiments have far-reaching consequences as she engages Pike in a Bad Country-style duet. Proving La'an's point about the anomaly posing a security risk, Pike and Batel sing a rather "Private Conversation" on the bridge, as he confesses his feelings for her in front of the crew.
Spock and Uhura go to trigger another song so that they can study elements like frequency and tone that they may be able to use to solve their predicament. Conveniently, they happen upon Chapel celebrating with Ortegas and Sam Kirk in the bar. In a rather inconvenient, and insensitive even, song Chapel publicly breaks up with Spock as she tells him that she's ready to leave him to pursue her career. It's an entertaining number, but their short-lived relationship certainly suffers for it.
