Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - I'm Ready (Chapel) (w/Lyrics) | 4K

Spock took this amazingly well because if my girlfriend had dumped me via impromptu musical number with my friends and several co-workers as backup singers I would have simply piloted a shuttle into the nearest sun.

All that Vulcan restraint is good for something!

You mean like that Denevan did when the population of that planet had been infected by those huge brain-cell macrofauna ? Well, he sort of did - he exposed himself to that huge spectrum of light, even though only a part of the spectrum was actually needed.

I know nothing about this show, but after tiktok clips of this musical episode I went to Spotify. This is remarkable.. the composition, Orchestration, the whole cast can sing. I'm tempted

[@juhesihcaaa]

This is a perfect blend of all previous Star Treks and is a fantastic intro to the lore. Trek aims to explore humanity in a very broad way and blends campy fun with a lot of critical thoughts. Starting with Strange New Worlds may be a little challenging to understand all the references but it's not a bad place to start. I'd recommending watching The Next Generation as well. Voyager and Enterprise are personal faves of mine but lots of people Love Deep Space Nine even thought it bores me a bit. Lower Decks is pure campy fun. The JJ Abrams films are a fun way to see an alt version but also introduce you to the main cast of the The Original Series (TOS). In terms of timeline, this series, Strange New Worlds, takes place just prior to TOS with Pike being the captain before Kirk (of TOS).

[@josevalentin890]

I don't think everybody can sing. It's just they are voice trained as actors and they found their range on where it compliments them. Some have been in musical theater and some put out records. Celia Rose Gooding (Grammy Winner) and Christina Chong (Who has put out music) were the stand outs and have belted their performance showcasing their range.

[@Rumple108]

It's a great entry point for Star Trek. All you need to know going in, is that Pike is aware of the Bad Thing that is going to happen to him 7 years in the future. There, you're now ready to go in on episode 1 and get caught up with this fantastic show. It's done comedy, horror, courtroom drama, war film, musical... it's not fumbled a genre yet. I love it so much, dive on in.

As an Australian, she does me proud . Some trivia for people, she was on two episodes on the long running Australian drama 'Home and Away', then made her way to the U.S, over the years and i think this was one of if not her most major screen role to date. This is also i believe how Chris Hemsworth got his start. He went from 'Home and Away' to a small cameo in the new Star Trek movie reboots as James Kirks dad who died in Nero's attack at the start of the movie. Obviously he's now THOR 😂

The show was fab but to me this song is in a class of its own. Such an infectious number and the cast dancing was awesome. How feel good… unless your .Spock :)

Uhura: So, we need to trigger a song. We need messy, barely restrained emotional subtext that wants to come exploding out with enough force to make a whole room break into a dance number... (Picks up tricorder) Say Spock, when did you last talk to Nurse Chapel? They've given up on fooling anyone, I hope.

[@haroerhaktak2613]

I think that was the whole point of the episode. Everything was suppose to be in the narrative that they're stuck bound by the rules of a musical universe. Which of course includes obvious "I'll say this so it will happen." tropes.

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

A few years later, she's still a nurse on the Enterprise and Spock is first officer to the next captain. I can see why Spock becomes wholly Vulcan in his demeanor, getting your heart broken is a horrible feeling.

[@ChiaraRizzarda]

I get what you're saying but... "still" a nurse? She never wanted to be anything but a nurse, being a nurse is not the side B of a doctor: it's its own thing. She's a nurse with the specialized studies she wanted to pursue. Still, this explains their non-couple dynamics in TOS and I like it.

[@sanhcman666]

I see this break up, in both songs, as the beginning of the ascendance of spock, and the downfall of chapel, given how things turn out. Remember, SNW is a PREQUEL.

I worked so hard for this, And now the fellowship Sees me as one of their own. The sky is the limit, my Future is infinite, My possibilities are endless. I’m ready. Drink in every second of the joy, (You earned it, deserve it) A success arriving overnight, but not really. (You’ve earned it, been working hard a long time.) I’ve been seeing life through camera obscura Now my canvas is wide as The open horizon! I worked so hard for this, And now the fellowship Sees me as one of their own. The sky is the limit, my Future is infinite With possibilities! It’s freedom and I like it. My spark has been ignited. If I need to leave, you I won’t fight it. I’m ready. I am ready. I’m ready.

[@kaitlinklassen6527]

Everybody really gets down on Chapel for publicly dumping Spock via musical in front of all of his fellow officers but in her defence I would like to point out that Spock is the one who chose to air their relationship drama in front of everybody while she was trying to celebrate a big accomplishment. Yes, it was shitty of her to not tell him about the fellowship (although understandable when you realize that she genuinely fell for him and now thinks that he’s just using her to flirt with his human half for a bit before he gets sick of her) but Spock could have chosen to have that confrontation in private and been broken up with in a much less humiliating way. Spock WANTED this confrontation to happen the way that it did, and while it’s understandable that he feels hurt and betrayed it was still a very petty and immature thing to do, and I will stand by that opinion.

[@marksharmanmusic1]

Love it. Can’t stop playing it.

[@SLDFMechWarrior]

Kind of expected it to end but not like this lol. Especially as they so mismatched Spock has the whole half human and half Vulcan issues along with not knowing how to truly express himself. While chapel has a lot of baggage and it felt like Spock was another casual fling for her. Especially as she showed she once dumped a guy because she got bored in an episode. Like sure there was some chemistry but it felt like they not ready for a serious relationship. Honestly Spock should have see a therapist and not gotten into an relationship until he was more emotionally mature or better able to express himself. While chapel probably has a type and it's definitely not Spock. Considering how the canon goes.

[@rudyproductions4557]

Everyone saying Spock wrecked his whole engagement for Chapel clearly watched a different episode than I did. He only went to Chapel AFTER T-pring called off the engagement after Chapel risked her life to save it (and Spock to an extent but let’s face it, his life was not on the line). Remember y’all, NOTHING has T-pring beat for worst breakup (where Spock is concerned). And Chapel couldn’t exactly help the whole “song and dance in front of the whole crew” part. In fact Spock and Uhura instigated it!

[@Olochgu]

I think the truth is somewhere in between Christine is definitely not at fault for Spock's engagement being broken, but Spock's feelings for her did influence his behavior towards T'Pring, which then lead to her calling it off. But yeah, Christine carries no blame and shouldn't be stopped from chasing this dream/opportunity because of it.

[@helberlessa6614]

​@@Olochguthe strange thing is: why is she opposing Spock and the fellowship/career?She does'nt have to be with Spock, but the way she put an end at the relationship was rude, even contradictory with the past episodes. She wasn't even talking to Spock, she was leaving without saying anything and ending up by osmosis.They didn't show Spock as an obstacle before, I think this is what turns the scene strange...But I still like the song and that was she breaking with Spock, but would be better constructed

[@LurkerERS]

​@@helberlessa6614the seeds of this were planted in the turbolift with Boimler. He *beep*ed up and unintentionally drove this wedge between Christine and Spock in her mind. She grew cooler and more distant since that happened.

[@LaytonsApprentice2]

Because it's their song and I'm the Ex is kind of the reprise to I'm Ready.

[@TheHongKongHermit]

Yeah, the songs are identical, because they are the happy/sad major/minor mirror images of each other. Which is what the characters in the show are. Spock is serious and logical, and Chapel (in Spock's own words) is "happy and carefree, the opposite of me". You can even take the lyrics from one song and sing them to the backing track of the other. It's INCREDIBLY well done, and is the emotional resolution of two seasons of star-crossed love affair.

Since she rejoined with Starfleet(?) she took up her old post as nurse seeing as that was her last commission on the Enterprise.

Ah, the scene that makes Nurse Chapel completely unlikeable by humiliating Spock in front of the entire crew! What a night in the theater!!

@@agamemnonn1 sometimes people are really bad at communicating their needs in a relationship and this causes the relationship to not work very well. this is a problem both of them had to the extreme both in this relationship and in their previous ones. their relationship spelled disaster from day one and a certain someone from the future butting in certainly doesnt help. it sucks but it also sucks that he kinda ended up seeing her as this vulcan equivalent to a manic pixie dream girl thats gonna fix him and show him from Real Love Is (not that icky Vulcan love), when Chapel has been shown from season one to be pretty flightly when it comes to connections and building relationships and pretty unwilling to commit to the idea of Loving Someone, which also sucks. buf in terms of his character development the implication is that what he will learn from this will help him become like how spock is in the original series. if it makes you feel any better for spock, theres an episode in tos where chapel pines after spock and gets rejected and leaves the ship about it.
