It was popular. Don’t let those brigading against the mere idea of a musical distort the facts.
Some of the review sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ended up with average scores in the 7/70% range merely because of the large number of 1/10 votes.
If you check out the vote distribution, it was a small but very vocal minority who opposed the episode on principle, who created the impression that it wasn’t well received by the fandom.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of American musicals, but I enjoyed and have certainly included it in my rewatches already.
I’m continually positively surprised how many memes here kick off more serious discussion and speculation about the shows. It’s one of the things that sucked me in.
I’m not convinced that I will ever quite have the right sense of humour to have my own original memes take off here, but you guys make me want to stretch beyond my comfort zone.
Education, meaningful debate & self development. Wow.
Linus is a Saurian recurring crew member on Discovery as of season two.
@stamets@startrek.website will be incenting you to catch up before the final season premieres in 2024. 😏
Seems like we’re trending with @stamets@startrek.website’s request for Linus @stephfinitely@lemmy.world.
But I stand ready @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website to bring you Harcourt Fenton Mudd (and his divine Stella Grimes).
Stella Grimes and her father appear briefly in “Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad.”
It’s the only Discovery season one episode that stands on its own without the serialization, although Mudd himself appears in an earlier one. He also is the focus of a wonderful Short Trek written my Mike McMahan. All strongly recommended.
Such a fetching couple.
And yes, I am read/willing to not only post Mudd memes, but to feature the happy couple in some Migleemo-Hemmer supported therapy.
Going to be that person and suggest the OP try Voyager.
It seems to be the most accessible of the older shows for younger, newer viewers. It was the most watched of all the classic shows on Netflix.
It covers all the classic tropes and provides endless fodder for memes here.
It’s uneven throughout its entire run, but also has some of the very best episodes ever. New fans really attach to the characters, and there’s no refuting that it unabashedly leaned into the weird.
Says a lot that she can look so great with the full muppet wig.
Not sure I have much more to add at present.
I do have a related profile on Mastodon however and follow Trek folks who are active there.
So, if you’d like I could keep filling in for that platform as others join or get active.
