How fitting that the arc of Uhura's story this season ends with her finding her purpose through song. This is such a powerful moment! I still tear up listening to this.
1:12 Just reading up on Celia Rose Gooding, she lost her father in 911. Holy shit. This song and Uhura losing her family in a shuttle crash hits too close.😮
ME TOO they were truly amazing La'ans really felt like a Disney song (in a great way) and I got Hamilton vibes from this one. LOVED BOTH the vocals were outstanding. Music, lyrics all top notch.
I really do not like musicals. But, as a dedicated Trekkie, I committed to watching the entire episode 2-9. It all was okay. Until Uhura had her solo. GOD! What a wonderful 4 and a half minutes. The entire episode pales compared to what Celia Rose Gooding created. And, it all fit into the Star Trek universe. (She was awesome!!!!!)
Yeah, I try to remind the people who malded about this episode that Trek is all about being for everyone, and every now and then, that's not you. And that's OK. You can't appeal to every person on Earth and also do things that any given individual will like and agree with, and that's the whole point of Star Trek. If the episode wasn't for you, it WAS for a lot of other people, and it'll "go back to normal" soon enough, so calm down. Loved this episode, it was so much fun.
Listening to these separately makes me realize their meaning more. The connection between im ready and im the x. Was lost to me on the first watch. Now I'm realizing the differences and similarities between those songs. Such a good episode.
@@helberlessa6614 Yup, but there is the small issue of that engagement to Korby after Chapel drops Spock. Spock''s lyrics say it all. He won't make the mistake again. Chapel doesn't feel the same as he did. He walked away from his bond mate for Chapel. Not long after, she dumped him to work with Korby.
Just a stunningly brilliant episode. I loved it. The whole of series 2 absolutely nailed it. Every actor really puts their all into this show. Simply wonderful to witness.
This episode gave was the most thrilling to me. I listen to Civilian Soldier, so this made me happy. This one song gave me three goosebumps and almost cryed. There is a video saying "Fans are discussed" with this episode. Well I guess I am in the minority that actually adore this one episode. Sad a lot don't like this, it's sooooo good! Adding the songs in my music list for sure!
Most people I've talked to seem to like it well enough too. I think it seems likely that most of those people naysaying it are being contrarian/controversial for baiting views, or just are projecting their own feelings.
Amazing talent! I am deeply impressed. No other star trek episode every managed to unveil so many facets of its characters in such a light-footed way. I felt simpy blown away when I watched "Subspace Rhapsody" for the very first time. Strange New World has become my favourite Star Trek Show since DS9. Please continue to give us this outstanding quality... may this largest and most inspiring TV/Movie World of Fantasy never end...
I absolutely love this episode and this song in particular. Been running thru my head rent free since it aired and I've watched the episode 4 times. So good. Keep up the good work Strange New Worlds!
I wasted a career on fixing the world, saving others' careers. In the end, my world was shattered. This song spirals in the hallways of consciousness, tainting my smile with memories. Beautiful episode and worthy of our Trek!
Absolutely Fabulous! Lol! But seriously, an Epic episode and this is the best song by far! Seeing M'Benga "almost" dance was funny too! Strange New Worlds indeed: between the Cross-over with Lower-Decks and this, the risk taking in "exploring Strange New Worlds" hits the spot, bullseye! Star Trek is a Monument of Mankind, let alone the film industry... A Legacy on Par with Sacred Books IMO
I am a lifelong Trekkie, and I have a performing arts degree with a major in voice, so I was very excited for this episode. One of the downsides was the fact that most of the cast aren't singers. The music for those characters is fairly uninspiring and there is some obvious studio work on their voices (especially Anson Mount, even though I have a massive platonic crush on him from Hell on Wheels). However, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Chong and Celia Gooding all have good voices, and it was great to hear them spread their wings a bit. Actually when I was listening to the start of this song, I was thinking "Oh God, here's another song where the range is really low and the music is not interesting at all." And then she opened up, and I just had one of those moments where you can't take your eyes off the screen and everything was perfect. Even though the other ladies did a good job, this is the musical highlight of the episode, and I have listened to it quite a few times since watching it.
I like how her brain is erased, and she's "reeducated" And they never mention it again. But still a lieutenant. Was it just unspoken that she got her memory back?
@@kingtimot I think I can answer this. Nomad claimed Uhura's memory was gone, true. But we also saw that, in sick bay, she was speaking Swahili, a language that nobody re-taught her. Conclusion: her memories WEREN'T gone, and that was yet another mistake Nomad made. Writers didn't know how to speak fluent technobabble in the 60s, but if they did, there would have been some noise about neural pathways and memory engrams being re-established -- in other words, fixing or rebuilding the paths to her memories that were still all there. Nomad, meanwhile, is that asshole who sits in his basement all day in front of the computer, claiming to be an expert on everything, harassing newbies in his favorite game, and making sleazy jokes then complaining that everyone's a feminazi without a sense of humor.
The lyrics of her brother "flying away" gave me chills. Her younger brother was part of the Heaven's Gate cult, which committed mass suicide as they believed their spirits would go to the Hale-Bopp comet that was then passing overhead.
Perhaps foreshadowing Uhura x Scotty? (/joking) It's probably to call back to her connection to Hemmer as a mentor since grieving has been a large part of her arc and a focus in the song specifically. I also think it's fitting that she sings it immediately after Spock's break-up/heart break song since he's dealing with a different type of loss
Not always. And her department is "Operations" which includes being a bit of an engineer. Like most starships, the Enterprise has a dedicated computer core for engineering, which might make things faster to resolve in a crisis like... Why are we all singing for no good reason? Just a thought.
Because here mom use to teach engineering in a place call naderpalbart just before you reach the place where they sell the KFC turn left you see a man with long legs turn right then you will see the engineering school
La'Ans song was better in my opinion and i found her the better singer. Also i swear the "keep us connected" is just a weird note like it's too flat or something
"For Nichelle who was first through the door and showed us the stars. Hailing frequencies forever open..."
I really, REALLY wish that Nichelle had lived to see this episode. The vindication of the importance of Uhura would have been so special for her!
As an introverted loner who only wants to help fix the world for everyone- this song speaks to me like nothing else.
Amen!
Same here! :)
you're probably an INFP.
I know right?
@@rigpod4821 at least Uhura is typed as an INFP in SNW and the song is very relatable.
Nichelle would be so proud❤

This song and Uhura losing her family in a shuttle crash hits too close.😮
Ow wow did not know that!
You cam really tell why she has a Grammy and was nominated for a Tony
Oh really!
Who?
La'an's and Uhura's songs are my fave from this episode!
ME TOO they were truly amazing La'ans really felt like a Disney song (in a great way) and I got Hamilton vibes from this one. LOVED BOTH the vocals were outstanding. Music, lyrics all top notch.
Those 2 with Spock's I am the X are the trifecta of this episode
This is what happens when you cast Broadway stars as Star Trek leads.
If this didnt raise the hair on your neck just a little you may be dead inside and should report directly to sickbay.
Hahaha
Love it!
I really do not like musicals. But, as a dedicated Trekkie, I committed to watching the entire episode 2-9. It all was okay. Until Uhura had her solo. GOD! What a wonderful 4 and a half minutes. The entire episode pales compared to what Celia Rose Gooding created. And, it all fit into the Star Trek universe. (She was awesome!!!!!)
It is awesome to see the acceptance and enthusiasm for such a different episode. This comradery is what 'Trek is truly about.
Shut up
It's all about unity.
Yeah, I try to remind the people who malded about this episode that Trek is all about being for everyone, and every now and then, that's not you. And that's OK.

Loved this episode, it was so much fun.
to be fair it's a style of episode we could have had in the TOS era and next gen and Ds9 and Voyager.. Lot of good singers on all those casts
this is an anthem for all telecom workers and network engineers. an absolute banger space opera.
I'd be lying if I said the tune didn't enter my mind while I was stood at the patch panel ^_^.
This made me cry
Every episode I can't I can't believe how much I LOVE this show. Its finally the star trek we deserved
We’ve been given the right Trek we deserved at the time they were released. All of them have been innovative, allied, & absolutely on point.
i loved this episode. you can tell they were having fun filming it too.
What a gorgeous, emotionally profound song. And what a stunning singer.
Listening to these separately makes me realize their meaning more. The connection between im ready and im the x. Was lost to me on the first watch. Now I'm realizing the differences and similarities between those songs. Such a good episode.
Thank you for have uploaded all the songs!
This one is my favorite of the episode
They should release it into the charts it’s actually better then most the trash out there these days!
Wow! Just WOW! She nailed this song!
I didn’t wanna love this episode but I did! And this song is absolutely amazing. I’ve been humming the chorus since I first watched it!
In Una's song about secrets, they showed M'Benga, Christine, Pike and Nyota looking at Spock. I wonder what her secret is.
Maybe she is starting to love Spock too, as we see something between them in the beginning of TOS
@@helberlessa6614 Yup, but there is the small issue of that engagement to Korby after Chapel drops Spock. Spock''s lyrics say it all. He won't make the mistake again. Chapel doesn't feel the same as he did. He walked away from his bond mate for Chapel. Not long after, she dumped him to work with Korby.
Who would have guest the best this years musical would be a Star Trek Episode. Love this episode, ant this my fv song. :D

This was my favorite song from the episode, you can feel the emotion from it. No wonder she has a Grammy!
You are very wise
The whole song is great, but god, when she lets it rip, it gives me chills!
THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT !!!
A week later and I am still coming back to these songs!! We need more! So emotive, and some great singing!
That voice!!
That trumpet!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The saddest, but I think the most beautiful song in the episode. Wonderful.
Loved this song, imo best of the show. The first time I think I’ve felt a real connection to this character even if I’ve always liked the actresses.
The best song of the whole episode!❤
This is simply a masterpiece!
By far my favorite song of this score, and it might well have booted my previous all time favorite
"They flew away..."
That whole bit about her family is so heartbreaking.
This is an epically beautiful song!!

What.A.Voice! 💕 💕
This épisode was son good, loved the actors and song, overall this season IS great
Truly stellar performance
🍒This episode was pure entertainment top to bottom. Absolutely superb.
Hailing frequencies forever open!
How great was this episode. DAMN! Maybe not Star Trek, but Fun Trek.
i thought it was the best one this season, so different, i was refreshed and it was so enjoyable 😆
BEST EPISODE OF STAR TREK EVER!!!
How do you qualify "Not Star Trek" contrarian come on man
@@marcchervin8905 Battlestar Galactica
To me, no actress would ever replace Nichelle Nichols but Celia looks very much ethnically African. She does a lot of justice to the character.
Just so beautiful and heartwarming 😅

This episode was very average until this. What a wonderful piece of music with an even better delivery. ❤
This song hits hard, in a good way
👏👏👏
This is awesome
Whew. I got so sick of my name when I was in the Navy. By the end of boot camp,
I was completely over it..😂

I don't know if anyone noticed, but she's got a pretty good voice.
Damn Girl. Belt it out!
✌️✌️✌️
Nomad isn't having any of this
I like how her brain is erased, and she's "reeducated" And they never mention it again. But still a lieutenant. Was it just unspoken that she got her memory back?
Who the fuck is nomad

getting serious Metallica vibes from this
Where’s the lyrics?
Hi 😊, you’ll need to click the [CC] setting on TH-cam ❤
why is she always in engineering?
Perhaps foreshadowing Uhura x Scotty? (/joking)
It's probably to call back to her connection to Hemmer as a mentor since grieving has been a large part of her arc and a focus in the song specifically.

3:13: what on earth is the reason to present data in this weird isometric view? This makes absolutely no sense to me.
Because you're sad and lonely person
I hope they wrap up this arc about loss - parents, Tiana and Hemmner. It is enough, time for a new arc.
La'Ans song was better in my opinion and i found her the better singer. Also i swear the "keep us connected" is just a weird note like it's too flat or something
This storyline is tired. Please give Nyota a life. She is a glorified phone operator.
This was a Great Perfomance and like @michellegiacalone1079 hit a cord with me.
