Too much hate for this episode!

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I thought the songs were great, so much so that they're in my Spotify playlist. I get why people might have a problem with it, as broadway style musical numbers is not what Star Trek is about, but I think they're just taking it all too seriously. It's a TV show, not actual space exploration.

Christina Chong is an especially an especially strong singer and the lyrics to her song were quite poignant. Celia Rose Gooding was also very good in this episode with her songs. Honorable mention to Rebecca Romijn. Who knew she could carry a tune?

I'm sure after all the backlash they won't be doing this anytime soon, but that's a shame in my opinion.
