Logline
An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.

I just want a full on Erica Ortegas back story episode already. But this was a very enjoyable episode. Im not that picky with music in general, and yet also enjoy musicals generally, so I was happy.
It occurs to me that her partner died around the filming of.this season, and she may not.have had it in her to be a lead for an episode.
I didn't know that.That's a fair assessment, and makes sense. I hope she takes good care of herself and takes the time she needs to mourn.
She has written a heart-wrenched, tragic letter about this experience and grief. It was very moving/difficult to read and gained me a lot of respect for her:

And I just read every inspiring, touching word. Thank you. Deeply, thank you for sharing this.
