Watched season two of Strange New Worlds and it was great.
Beautifully shot, nice stories with themes appropriately woke. The remade Gorn are cool and scary.
I expected to like the musical one since the Buffy musical one was possibly the best hour of TV ever made but the songs were boring operatic dirges and the plot pointless and the danging all yawn. Worse episode of the show. Only song with anything to it was Chapel's one.
The other gimmick one with the carton Lower Decks crossover was brilliant. Boimler looked like a cartoon character even in real life and the two Lower Decks bounced off each other brilliantly.
Nurse Chapel in general the whole series is incredible. That white hair, that suit, those black eyebrows against the pale round face. She's badass and caring and brilliant and the most striking and attractive Trek woman of them all. Fitting that Spock should decide to cut out all emotion after she leaves him. Probably the logical thing to do.
The ship looks so polished and yet so 60s.
Nicely done all round. Most top telly of the year.

@pre I felt exactly the opposite about the musical episode. I thought I would hate it, but I actually enjoyed it. Although I must say that I'm not sure I will feel like watching it again anytime soon. Did you know they released a soundtrack album for that episode?
Nurse Chapel is nice, but I can't really pick a favorite. La'an and Uhura are also very nice. And of course Number One.

@ambulocetus I didn't know there was an album but I would have guessed that they would do. Needless to say I won't be buying it.
