By the way, Uhura really, really shines in this series! One of the best characters in the series, if not THE best! Kudos to Celia Rose Gooding for a SUPERB performance!!
A song full of hope and joy. With a touch of melancholy. This episode proves that Star Trek is still innovative. After many years, a series has finally appeared that can be the new Star Trek. Strange New Worlds is a great series. I hope that season three surpasses the previous two. 🖖
@@markaurelius61 The song is just awesome. Maybe even the best song of all. Every time I hear it, I feel something. It's so good. You can feel the sadness in him. Unbelievably intense.✌
Watch this scene and then go back the first five minutes of the TOS episode “What are Little Girls Made of” where they make contact with Korby. The exchange between Chapel and Spock on the bridge is down right creepy when you know they had a prior relationship.
“My future is infinite with possibilities.” Boy is she in for a disappointment. 10 years later, she’ll be back to being a nurse on the Enterprise searching for a lost fiancé only to discover he’s downloaded himself into an android body, replaced her with an android made to look like a younger woman who does whatever he tells her to do, and his master plan is to replace the human race with androids. And if that weren’t bad enough, her ex-boyfriend will still be on board, she’ll be in love with him, but he’ll want nothing to do with her. In a way, she’s a tragic figure. Pike knows his fate. Chapel doesn’t. Imagine if someone told her “in 10 years, your career will be in the exact spot it’s in now and your personal life will actually be worse.”
It is so cold and humiliating for Spock to break up with him and them for the entire lunge to start dancing a celebration. Nevertheless, the songs and choreography were awesome!
Watch the entire La'an arc again, if for no other reason than it's that part of the episode that states clearly that none of them had any control over when or what they'd sing.
I have literally been scouring the internets to find out the answer to that question, and nothing. But I've never seen them in any other episodes so I have to assume they were dancers or extras hired specifically for this. They aren't in the credits, or the IMDB page.
I can't believe I didn't catch the similarities between Christine's and Spock's songs. The musical arraignments follow each other, and if you write down the lyrics of one, you can listen to the other and almost parallel the other one. Both songs interweave each other in a way that I didn't catch until now. Brilliant!!!
I’m pretty sure this is an example of a classic “dark reprise” - a return to a previous composition but switching to a minor key to make it sound ominous and brooding. A brilliant use of the trope.
It's a very common element among musicals to repeat a musical selection with a few alterations that modify the intent, usually to highlight a counter-point (Happy to Sad, Joyful to Angry, Hopeful to Desolation) or create an irony. Examples: Phantom of the Opera - "All I ask of You" The Little Mermaid - "Part of Your World" Assassins - "Eerybody's Got the Right to Be Happy" Wicked - "I'm Not That Girl" South Pacific - "Some Enchanted Evening" Avenue Q - "The Money Song" Aladdin - "Street Rat" Rent - "I'll Cover You" Beauty and the Beast - "Belle" Hamilton - "The Story of Tonight"
Well... he asks a personal question in a public space. She asks to talk about it later, and then he basically insists on addressing it right there and now. So, it's not wholly free of emotional pressure.
@@EdwardMartin I think it was deliberate. He walked in there knowing he needed to trigger a song so Uhura could record the surge. Talk about taking it for the team. Savage.
Oh, I hadn't considered the notion that he was deliberately attempting to provoke an emotional response >> into a song. He seemed genuinely upset at it, instead of, well, satisfied-Uhura-had-collected-data. But (shrug) who's to say for sure. :)
Tous les passages de cet épisodes sont magnifiques.....franchement là c'est une pépites d'or et de diamant.......merci à tous les participants pour le travail remarquable.....
I am thoroughly convinced that Sam gives a full amount of zero f***s if they'll ever leave the musical universe and is jus having a ball. Look at him! lol he's the one enjoying the most just being there
I love the fact that Sam is just having a good time with this whole thing. And knowing what is destined to happen to him in this timeline, I'm all for it. Party on king, Party on.
Uhura said something similar at the end of the episode when she was humming softly to herself when Pike and the rest of the bridge crew stop and stare at her.
Definitely the most significant song in terms of character arcs. Two for the price of one. Brilliant character development that puts both Spock and Chapel back into their TOS personas. Although I now hate Christene with the heat of a supernova.
I can understand where Christine is coming from, she is young and it seems to her that she has all the possibilities in the world and she does not want anything to hold her back or distract her. And she probably would have worded it differently if she had a choice but she didn't have control as soon as the song started, but of course that doesn't make it hurt any less from Spock's perspective
@@confusedsquirrel You are absolutely right on all counts. So why do I now hate Christene? Because the character hit my emotional buttons. Went flying by all the rational parts of me and went straight to my visceral bits. That's good writing and good acting! And don't get me started on Guinevere and Lancelot!
@@larrysmith2638there are several reasons people hated Christine after this song. First, Spock is a fan favorite so we don’t want to see him get hurt. Second, Spock did nothing wrong. He was the loyal boyfriend who didn’t deserve to be dumped. Lastly, we know that Chapel will eventually get engaged to the man she meets at her internship. So while she’s singing now about how she’s willing to sacrifice a personal relationship for her career, we know her priorities will change, that someday she’ll take a step back careerwise to go looking for a fiancé who’ll later be revealed to be a monster, all while pining away for Spock.
Based on how their fates turned out, its kind of the song are the opposites destinies. Chapel joy will end very soon, while Spock suffering will turn him into the man that shaped the galaxy.
Can't stand her. I hate that they wasted so much time with her. Meanwhile, Uhura stands by, pining for Spock. How pathetic was it when she found him, offered to help, and he took off to mope over that stalker. What kind of female sleeps with a man right after his engagement party?
I wonder what the dancers were thinking when their agent told them about the job they'd be auditioning for. Star Trek and musical isn't exactly something you would expect. They would have also needed some SAG extras that could dance or learn routines quickly.
I suppose. But his character is so lightweight. Reminds me of Picard's alternate Starfleet career based on risk aversion. That's Sam Kirk: avoiding risk.
@@larrysmith2638 I would rather be done with Jim Kirk. We have had more than enough of that character. Keep Pike for a few more years. He is more entertaining.
Christine is a party girl, a man-eater. Spock could not have found a worse bed-buddy. She wrecked his engagement, shagged him and moved on. Poor Spock.
I completely agree with your assessment of Chapel. But she did kinda warn him earlier last season. And T'Pring is not the kind of person to compromise when it comes to Spock's commitment to Starfleet. Funny that he ends up as best friends with Jim Kirk, another person not known for relationship commitment.
@@larrysmith2638 Kirk’s inability to commit might be overblown. Most of his on screen love interests were fridged. Carol Marcus is the real example and our current Jim Kirk seems to be conscientiously considering his responsibilities as a father.
But she never really answered his question!!!
This episode really changes everything.
Christine chapel is the star...❤❤❤😊😊😊
Who are the twines?
By the way, Uhura really, really shines in this series! One of the best characters in the series, if not THE best! Kudos to Celia Rose Gooding for a SUPERB performance!!
Anyone know who the bald dude in the white uniform is? He certainly looks familiar...
Does anyone else get Amy Winehouse vibes from this song?
I thought the same thing first time I heard it
imagine your girlfriend is breaking your heart and all your friends are just dancing and singing along while you slowly die inside
Well, in her defense, he DID asked for it...

Like a typical modern woman.
I'd love to hear a duet with Spock and Chapel. I know it won't happen, but their voices would sound great together.
What are they doing to star trek
Making it amazing! This is some of the best star trek since Enterprise
@haydenravenscroft1803 ... Okay Social Media Marketing firm employee
@@ri3m4nn ok. go back to enjoying the cute and cuddly tribble tos ep then.
@cwolf201 cute and cuddly, like kpop dancing Klingons? Yeah, ok

ouch
sorry Spock, she rocks.
Spock just says "I know" and a single tear runs down his cheek
This was such a cold way to tell him. 🥶
Are the two officers flanking Christine on the couch twins?
That's what I've been wondering!

Wonderful song. And a charming singer.🥰
I loved that you had the text! Keep up the good work!
I love her voice.😊❤ One of the best in the series.😉

Nurse Chapel 😍😍😍
The look on spocks face is pure detachment. It really reflects the classic spock where theres so much yet nothing.
Tous les passages de cet épisodes sont magnifiques.....franchement là c'est une pépites d'or et de diamant.......merci à tous les participants pour le travail remarquable.....
I mean, shit, if my hot nurse gf broke up with me in a musical routine and all my friends danced and sang along to it I'd probably quit sexuality too.
Fuck, that’s almost as savage as the song. 😂😂😂

I just about laughed myself out of my chair when I saw him grooving to the Klingon boy band.
He gave me major "Don't stop this timeline, I don't wanna get off" vibes.
@@KhakiBlueSocksthankfully this is an alternate timeline so it may not happen.
Интересно, как переплели их песни со Споком, одна мелодия, но разные посылы. ua-cam.com/video/mtQSjXtBlVk/v-deo.html
I slowed down the speed and I could really hear the filter on her voice.
That's interference from the subspace anomaly.
Stop It, Just Enjoy What's Happening!!! WTF It's Not Politics Or Analization!! Just Enjoy It!!!
Baby SPock, do-do-do-do-do
Help.. this song has been an earworm in my head for the last week...
Uhura said something similar at the end of the episode when she was humming softly to herself when Pike and the rest of the bridge crew stop and stare at her.
Those musical arrangements! Amazing!
Was sceptical of watching this episode but when i did i loved a great uplifting experience

Best number from the show even if it did break Spock's heart.
But without it…we never would have gotten “I’m the X” which would have been a shame.
