spoilerBasically the title. That Klingon Pop (K-Pop?) was so unexpected and funny. Such a good comedic timing. But that bit was too short compared to other songs in this episode. I am a little disappointed.

Its brevity was what made it hilarious. I think a single second longer and it would have outstayed its welcome.

But I have to believe that there was material left on the cutting room floor for this episode, and I hope we get to see it some day.

The Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.

Wow, wish they would release the opera to fans

I think this was honestly my favorite bit of the episode. I thought their honor was challenged just because singing overall, and expected some drinking songs or klingon opera. I was so totally taken off guard by it, it absolutely made the entire episode imo. I barely even remember what it sounded like after the first second because I was laughing so hard.

It was cute how Sam was vibing to it, too.

Does anyone know who sang the acapella opening credit theme song? Was it a known acapella group or the cast?

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

That was freakin hilarious!!!

@enteroninternet That was hilariously unexpected when they did that, and it explained why the Klingons were so pissed off, considering how much they like their opera.
