Star Trek Short Q&A - Spock & Number One Sing A Song

[@michaelkenwell9146]

The way SNW's 'Ad Astra Per Aspera' episode contextualizes this for a moment of levity in Una's Trial is BRILLIANT!

[@randomcurrypuff6237]

I had to come back to this clip after finishing that episode!

[@mateovncnt7411]

me too

[@SWalkerTTU]

And it’s a good thing he didn’t toss it down the memory hole.

[@KuDastardly]

1:32 For a second I thought Spock was gonna sing _"In the middle of the earth, in a land of Shire, was a brave lil' Hobbit whom we all admire..."_

[@leosmithonbass]

deep cut right there

[@pattheman777]

Bravest little Hobbit of them all!

[@Gatsby_OW]

Seeing Spock geniunly laugh will always be freaky, no matter the actor

[@audreyballard6453]

Lol, I’ve always thought the same thing

[@xyntrk]

Not to mention he looks unspeakably young when he laughs - or I'm just old. But maybe we all look younger when we genuinely laugh.

After today's episode, this hits even better.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

The best part, Spock didn't lie. He just let a different secret slip.

[@Pentarax]

And now we've had the musical episode where Una reveals her love of Gilbert and Sullivan to Kirk.

[@SWalkerTTU]

@@PentaraxThey need to find a few more venues for Rebecca Romijn to flex the golden pipes.

Her smile is so radiant.

[@dmchez]

She is gorgeous! And when showing teeth yes a beautiful smile but omg when she smiles without the teeth she looks EXACTLY like the grinch! 😂 a beautiful grinch

[@Voileen]

I'm SO glad they fixed his hair in SNW 😅

[@MichaelBradley1967]

I like that it's just slightly messy, like it was in The Cage.

[@randomcurrypuff6237]

It’s his ensign hair lol

[@catherineelmore2004]

I love Spock referencing this is Ad Astra per Aspera. Absolutely bloody hysterical!

[@Leo0991]

This is why people should stop freaking out about the musical episode. Let it happen!

[@MichaelBradley1967]

My opinion is, 10 episodes is too few to have 2 off-the-wall episodes like the crossover *_and_* a musical. A 20 episode season would be a better fit.

[@chrismom97]

The musical was SOOOO GOOD!!!!

[@quuaaarrrk8056]

@@MichaelBradley1967 If by that you mean that SNW should have more episodes, I fully agree.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

@@quuaaarrrk8056 Oh, they all need more episodes, SNW especially. But when ST shows had 24 episodes per season, they also had time for more bonkers episodes like this. Not that they ever did something this bonkers. DS9 had plenty of time to do off topic stuff, even during the Dominion War arc.

[@contrafax]

I LOVE Star Trek. Even there misses. The Musical Episode was good fun. Considering what came after it was needed. Sigh. Fan Boys and get keepers need to climb down and enjoy stuff.

[@Johnny-pt9xw]

The last misfit who sang a piece by Gilbert and Sullivan was Data. (Star Trek: --First Contact-- Insurrection)

[@SPECTRE_Madman]

Insurrection

[@Johnny-pt9xw]

@@SPECTRE_Madman yes.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

From the same musical, too.

[@XVeganDaveGodFreeX]

Not the same musical. Data sang A British Tar from H.M.S. Pinafore; Modern Major General is from The Pirates of Penzance.

[@FreeSpirit47]

Hot Spock just keeps getting better & better.

[@Creasy5678]

Fun, if very silly. Also, I'm quite sure Una would leave Spock in the dust when it comes to brains.

[@josephmanno4514]

I'm even more sure you're wrong. She might well have more smarts, but ... in native intelligence, Spock is nearly peerless.

[@Creasy5678]

@@josephmanno4514 Maybe, maybe not. We don't know where Una started on the intelligence scale, but we DO know the Illyrian's would have ramped all her possibilities all the way to the top. Is Spock naturally more intelligent? No doubt. With the genetic engineering? Not so simple...

[@Mxyzptlksac]

Originally Number One was supposed to be the smart analytical one. When hey character was removed he became the smart one

[@Deltaflot1701]

And from what we've seen in ST: SNW, that's not Una's only freaky thing :p

[@SWalkerTTU]

After S2E7, Number One is the very model of a classic Starfleet officer. (Literally, as she’s on Boimler’s recruitment poster.)

[@Deltaflot1701]

@@SWalkerTTU That was a fun episode

[@sclogse1]

Any good story makes you want to see things happen. Which means, you're involved. Not just blasting people. I saw Rebecca on a Curb Your Enthusiasm in a doctor's office scene, and simply swooned.

[@bobg9922]

Why the secrecy? Was this Vulcan foreplay? Were they about to do something “logical” LOL 😆

[@jasminepavlicek5239]

She’s such a great singer but I can only find like three videos of her singing

[@deanhirasawa1414]

We get to see the rest of the crew sing in two weeks!

[@Deailon]

How not to love Number One :)

[@briangronberg6507]

Yes, but do Una/Number One’s xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian?

[@oliversacco7320]

Love this

[@NoName-fc5wc]

Rebecca Romijn is the best Mystique

[@jasminepavlicek5239]

Did I miss a whole show? I’m watching strange new worlds right now, I only have two episodes left just watched the musical episode and I don’t remember this.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

It is from the Short Treks (2018-2019), filling in the space between series'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Short_Treks

[@dmchez]

So does this prove that Ethan needed a lot of autotune in subspace rhapsody? I couldn’t hear it when listening before but now here’s something to compare it to. Either way I love his voice and would buy his songs ❤

Star Trek: Short Treks - Q&A

[@carlousmagus5387]

Marry her...

[@taylorwaterman7316]

Why does she look 100% more beautiful here than in SNW? They did her dirty with those hairstyles and new uniforms. On the other hand he looks MUCH better with the new hair and uniforms in SNW.

[@MichaelBradley1967]

I liked the slightly messier hairdo on Spock in the early part of the season. It fit with The Cage a little better.

[@augustjsb]

To invoke the 60s esthetics

[@philmitchell8887]

That's the chemistry see how spock looks at her the vulcan way of expressing love was going on here and number one probably had a brain intellectual orgasm, considering how beautiful she is its easy to see why. She is truly mr. Spock's kind of girl.

[@dmchez]

Ha! That’s a wig. The show is her real hair. The other difference is the eyebrows. Here they are normal and in the show straight across

[@sirwaldo999]

[@michaelmeir-wright6204]

The makeup on Spock is really quite rough here. Yikes!

[@mk17173n]

His hair is terrible.

[@darz3829]

A first year photography student wouldn't be as bad as the so called pro who got big money for shooting this pile of poop.

[@darz3829]

@rizalboy I was commenting on just the photography. Nothing else. It my comment stands - it is lousy.

[@darz3829]

@rizalboy If you can't answer your question it shows you have limited experience. I have actually shot many shows in an elevator - it isn't that hard.

[@darz3829]

@rizalboy Truly remarkable. A person who knows everything. You know, instead of petty criticism the world could benefit from your omniscience.

[@darz3829]

@rizalboy The question is, why do you desperately try to support bad craftsmanship.

[@darz3829]

@rizalboy Take a look at movies from the 1930s. The 1940s. The 1950s, 60s and 70s. I know it's out of vogue now, but for decades the concept of key light, fill light, background and additional effects lights worked just fine for sixty years. That enough of a baseline? It allowed the audience to pay attention to the actor. Today's cinema is illuminated not lit. The backgrounds are lighter than the foreground. The only reason audience accept poor quality is that they don't know how good photography can be.

[@petercsigo3314]

Even is Star Trek and today's military misusing the word you do not address a female superior officer sir because the Emenglish language is very specific sir is male-only and it is not interchangeable.

[@steeltimberwolf]

Did you just assume Number One's gender?? REEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GlennTillema]

As someone whom knows nothing about today's military, how would you address a female superior officer?

[@danivarius]

Glenn Tillema ma’am or commander, in Una’s case.
