"For Nichelle who was first through the door and showed us the stars. Hailing frequencies forever open."
This scene made me think exactly that and, as soon as I did, I burst into tears.
Amen.
In the first episode Uhura talked about her grandmother who had been in Starfleet. I thought sure that Nichelle would have a cameo!
@@pollypiasecki840 she's passed so not doing a whole lot of cameos these days. RIP.
@@TheGenXer she was still alive when season 1 was filmed
Sometimes you take a big swing and knock it right out of the park. I don't even like musicals but this was exquisite.
Agreed, 💯%. I don't know who composed the music for this episode but I'm sure that person will be PAID after this.
@@spektredEmmy, Grammy, Nebula, Hugo ...
You should see Buffy's "Once More, with Feeling", the archetypal musical episode in a science fantasy show. This is very much a spiritual successor to it. They even threw in references with the lines about "bunnies" and "I've got a theory".
@@TheNoybusinessthey definitely recognized and honored it.
Agreed thought I was going to hate it and I’m loving it!
“The voice of The Enterprise.” Pike nailed it.
The linguistic champion of the universe sings like an angel.
You cast a grammy winning singer for your show and do a musical episode and get this.
She's a Grammy winning singer??!!! Really?!!
yes. She won a grammy for the cast recording of the broadway show Jagged Little Pill in 2021. czcams.com/video/cvru4rL29So/video.html @@magnusmg1324
@@magnusmg1324damned right she is.
Actually she won a Tony and a Grammy.
@@user-ue5fn5fh9m, actually only a Tony nominee. But given the scope of her talent, I'm sure she will be a Tony winner as well one day.
Nichelle nichols...if by some chance you see this....THANK YOU, for not letting fear push you away from this role and please know this amazing scene has its roots in you...
and thank you Celia Rose Gooding for putting your heart into this song.
Worm Food.
@@mikejewpants4099 Was that really necessary?
@@ScottGammans Bro, his ONLY goal is to get attention....seriously, I should have never responded.
Just ignore him.
@@ScottGammans You have a good point.
Truth.
Aside from the wonderful performance and songwriting, a great thing about this episode is that the lyrics of each song gave us amazing character development--especially this song. Uhura is still dealing with the trauma of losing her family and she's always felt alone, especially after losing Hemmer. And she eventually realizes that her new family is the Enterprise and she is the glue that keeps them all together. We are witnessing a cathartic moment for an iconic character, and I would argue that such a moment is probably best expressed through song.
This episode was great for some of those significant character arc moments; we got Uhura establishing herself as the communications officer, as well as Spock's decision to go all in on the pursuit of logic.
Hemner said his people believed that death didn't come until they had fulfilled their life's purpose. He would be proud of Uhura finally beginning to understand hers.
Uhura literally soldering circuits back together in 'The Balance of Terror' "This is very delicate work Mr.Spock if you don't mind"
in this...we see the moment Uhura understand her place and her destiny. This is probably one of the most crucial things we will ever see as far as one of the original crew understanding and accepting they are heros.
Hemmer said once that part of his people's belief was that death didn't come until they had fulfilled their life's role. He said his was to fix things. His example helped heal the damaged soul of this young cadet. Hopefully, his spirit is smiling brightly that she has discovered hers.
@@danielhaire6677 The two characters couldn't be any more further apart yet in the end she's like a daughter to him, fixing what is broken.
A real communicator-drop moment.
I was dreading this one but ... I loved it. This song was the highlight. She was amazing.
This and Ethan Peck's "I'm the X" was the highlight
You were dreading the somg from the most qualified Grammy winning actress in the crew?
@@shigu80 No sir, you misunderstand. Not the song, the episode itself. The professional status of the songwriters would never have been in question. It was the concept of a musical in Star Trek I was dubious of, but as I said, I loved it.
I agree. When I heard that was going to be a SNW musical episode, I thought it was going to be goofy....boy was I wrong. This song always make me tear up. Words haven't been invented yet to say how amazing this episode and this song is.
Hey, a good musicial episode in a run of a show is always a good thing.
Been there from the beginning once more with feeling 🤣
Besides of all shows a sci fi show makes most sense where some thing makes people spontaneously sing
I rolled my eyes, and assumed SNW had run its course, and would probably be gone in a year or so when I heard they were doing a musical. I begrudgingly watched it with the tiniest, slimmest, microscopic hope it wouldn’t end the series. All that said, I loved it. Watched it 3 times, and pick up something new I didn’t notice each time before. It even moved me to tears at points. The talent just overflowed onto the small screen. Simply perfectly executed in every way. A top 10 all time Trek episode.
Its incredible to see the reaction to this episode....instant classic is the general thought
This is the reason why I learned that expectations and assumptions would lead to stress and disappointment and missed opportunities. I didn't even know they were doing musicals since I kept myself in the dark about production news or theories or promotion materials. I just take things as they come. And I was genuinely surprised when Spock started singing and I immediately curious about where this episode will take us. And I enjoyed every second of it.
Can you imagine if assumptions and expectations take over your own mind and you decide that if you hate musical and have no place in Star Trek universe and you end up skipping the episode to jump straight to the season finale. How many things you could have missed. This is why I keep an open mind about everything in life these days. Open minded about different concepts, different philosophies, different point of views. I may dislike or disagree with some of them. But at least I made a decision "after" I gain knowledge of them and not make presumed assumptions before knowing about them.
You are so right. the talent on display in this epsisode... the voices. lyrics and direction. incredible. Easily one of my all time favourite star episodes. They took a big gamble and it paid off big time.
Exactly my reaction too.
She has such a great voice. This has a Disney princess feel to it. Zone out not paying attention to the words, it has a magical feel to it.
It is a beautiful melody 😊. Listen again and this time to the words, it gives such an insight to the inner strength and lonliness of the character.
Damn, these folks are talented, and she CAN SING.
Not a Grammy winner for nothin’!
She gets it from her momma.
Lemme tell you how I SCREAMED when I realized it was a musical episode -!!! 😭😭
The way she goes to the highest notes at the end... So sweet
They're gonna have to do this at the Emmys...
Guaranteed
UHURA was AMAZING!! I love this version of her. "Ruptured into a million shards of light" broke my heart. Someone was cutting onions at "The Voice of the Enterprise"
Pike was cooking again.
Every actor on this show is great, don't get me wrong, but Celia is truly a star and connects everything in the same way Uhura does. She is the soul of the show. What a talent.
I think so, too. I love how the writers and producers uplift her character. I think Ethan is good, too. It's basically their show.
@@chocolateangel8743 Agreed! Spock and Chapel have insane chemistry
Soul of the show, voice of the Enterprise!
Casting has done a magnificent job! I love all our old favourites. And Nichelle was definitely one of my most favourites. Zoe Saldana did a great job but Celia Rose Gooding is capturing my heart in a Nichelle way!
@@Raelyn27 The original series was before my time, but when I went back and watched it, I was left wishing that she could have done more. Given the times, though, I know the diversity on the screen was a miracle.
An amazing song and a interstellar voice..... I cried so hard... memories of Nichele Nichols, memories of the character she brought to life, Uhura ... memories of my own youth ... this is one of those amazing moments in time where the right song, the right voice and the right time in the universe come together to create a very powerful moment illuminating the human condition. We come into this world alone, we will leave it alone. In between we search for connections, and sometimes, we actually touch the divine.
They achieved the unthinkable. Who would’ve thought that Star Trek fans would love a musical? They did an amazing job with the lyrics, the character development, the score. Season 2 has been an absolute masterpiece. Long live SNW.
Masterpiece of Television.
This show is very special.
Totally relate to this; As someone who heals others and connects people to other people who then watch them go to form strong bonds while I remain..solo. People like me don’t have people, we are the people that people have
This is like the camera is dancing with her as she sings...... Wonderful!!!
She gave me chills w this song. What a beautiful voice.
The Engineering set is absolutely amazing.
Believe it or not, it mostly is *no* set! Only the foreground elements are physical objects. Most of engineering is a clever use of the virtual wall that they use for most outdoor scenes.
Yeah I've seen the wall they use but the consoles and physical assets in this show are awesome. @@ScottGammans
Not a fan of musicals, but this had me in chills!
I was dreading how bad this episode could have been, and it exceeded my wildest expectations. Well done to all who were instrumental in bringing this episode to life. 👍 ❤😂
Season 2 of SNW is up there of the best Star Trek ever written.
So much unexpected nuance and beauty from this character who I never expected to feel for, and yet her song about being alone and yet connecting with others, brings me to tears. I'm so grateful for this.
Best song of the best Star Trek episode EVER!
2:42 heavy goosebumps incoming 😅
Yeah I honestly wasn't expecting this, hit me right in the feels. 🥲
For me, it's the last chorus, and especially at 4:10 when the trumpet fanfare drops in. My face lights up and I grin 😁 like a fool every time.
No wonder they saved Uhura’s song till later - she would have totally set the bar super high for the rest of the cast (she’s a Grammy winner for a reason👌)
Love this, love this, love this!!!!’❤❤❤❤ Great job Celia!!!!
The note of triumph in her voice as she embraces her gifts and realizes her ability to connect people is a blessing and not a burden.
"I strengthen the ties that bind/So no one has to be alone'
What a perfect moment.
This episode shold have dedicated to Nichelle Nichols as she was a first class singer.
They dedicated episode 1S2 to Nichelle
It really was. I'm wondering if they didn't do it because it cost extra money or something. CBS is struggling right now.
The moment when the patterns whirled around her, then ruptured into a million shards of light is so perfect.
i LOVE that the turning point for Uhura's season arc is also the turning point for this episode, and also its her "Who I Am" song, and also its a scene that turns the low point of the episode into a high point.
SO much love goes into this show
"My whole life has been fix this and save you. I'll light the path and keep us connected..."
She was incredibly amazing! Whoooooooo!!!!
This beautiful and talented performance has fully fleshed her character out. Touched on her nuance and development. I wasn't sure about her season 1 but I'm very invested in her now. She did an amazing job! I'm looking forward to more of this world.
Kirk really feels like Kirk now and I'm looking forward to more of Uhura Kirk and Spock interactions❤❤
This is "Broadway quality music and lyrics". Many transitions in all the pieces of this episode....in a way, it tells the story as a musical ballad. Pure Genius.
In all my years of watching Trek episodes, never in my wildest intergalactic dreams would I have thought that Star Trek would come up to this level of Mastery. I love Musicals, but this is Broadway Theatre in New York Musical quality. I would definitely be in the front row.
This will be an new iconic moment
Reminds me of "Let it go" from Frozen. Same vibe
Wow, she’s a professional singer. This song reminds me so much of Frozen, why is that?
The greatest tragedy of this song is that Nichelle Nichols did not live long enough to see Uhura FINALLY get her due on screen, in all her glory.
😭 Hailing frequencies forever open
Worthy of a Grammy for sure!! Wow! I can’t get enough of this song! So well done! ❤
She is amazing. Goosebumps.
One thing that strikes me is how much Uhura has grown in confidence since Season one.
So beautiful. Easily my favorite performance ❤
I was waiting for Uhura to blow! She is known for being a great singer in the Trek Universe. I was not disappointed with this version of her.
My watch count is in the low triple digits but my heart still breaks every time she sings "so no one has to be alone."
I was worried that this episode would be too contrived and forced. I am glad to see that they incorporated the singing into the show. It made it more believable that they didnt WANT to sing.
And btw, this Uhura is my favourite. Sorry Nichelle Nichols.
I LOVE THIS SONG I love the whole episode !!
This song was a banger. Love the organ parts.
I love her voice.
Nichelle would've approved!
One of the best Star Trek episodes I have ever seen. Not just of this series but all of the Star Trek episodes since the 60s. I initially thought it wouldn't work but boy was I wrong. This song especially was one of the highlights. Well done to all involved in putting this episode together!
Oh wow. What an amazing song and performance. I have this song on repeat. ❤
It starts off as a lament almost, questioning her place and her worth and turns into a celebration and affirmation of those same things. Whos cutting onions.
Reminds me a lot of "Waiting on a Miracle" from Encanto, maybe because it's in 3/4?
OMG I'm so glad someone else clocked that too!!!
This show is just amazing. Ive been a fan of the Trek since the original series. Its been so long since a show like this one with an ensemble cast like this one has made me feel this good. Like so many others have said when I heard this episode was here I dreaded it but Im really impressed and it really makes me feel good.
and this episode was really great and this performance was spectacular and a highpoint for the shoe, the season and the franchise.
This is sooo frekkin good. I love it!
She is the voice of the enterprise......... Any Questions?
Absolutely stunning
If you love musicals, you’ll love this episode. If you hate them, give it a chance. It isn’t a true musical, as the first song points out so clearly “Why are we singing?!” The songs move the characters along, and they were written to fit each voice. It’s an amazing work! I’d love to see other shows do something like this!
Especially Lower Decks. They seem to repeat so much of what happened to other ships… it’s perfect to have a musical episode!
This give my goosebumps, goosebumps. Simply amazing!
Man, when Celia hits those high notes. :o
Damn she's got an AMAZING voice. Great casting, as I remember Nichelle Nichols singing in the original series as Uhura too, but nothing like this.
This is the “Under Your Spell” for me of this episode ❤
agree.
Are you referencing Tara's ong from the Buffy musical episode? If so, I agree. She and Giles singing were the highlights of that episode.
@@danielhaire6677 absolutely
What a performance, simply incredible!!
This was the only video I could find of her singing, so thanks!!! Love this part!
Soon will have a Broadway show version, expected.
Beautiful. I felt that.
She's a phenomenal actress and singer and her portrayal of Uhura allows to see more of the character than we were ever allowed to see before and I'm loving it :D
Did not think I would like this episode But I did like it 😁
Brought a tear to my eye. Literally
In all the Star Trek universes yet conceived,
1 The city on the edge of forever.
2 Subspace Rhapsody.
Not gonna lie...
The acoustics in Engineering are just 😚👌
just like the 4th intersec jeffries tube 25 on the enterprise d 😀 the acoustics there are amazing. the flue and piano duet ftw :)
Wow, just wow
Initially I wanted to just skip this episode because I already know too much rolling-eyes-episodes (after watching Discovery lol 🙈) in general. But I decided to watch it and do something else in parallel. Well it caught me and now I don't get enough from Uhura's performance and must watch it all the time 🥺 I have to admit, it's one of the best episodes ever 🙈
Such a brilliant song and episode! Goosebumps.
'Repair what is broken' sounds familier.
Best singer of them all , no doubt! No wonder she has won a Grammy and a Tony in her career.
Wow. Just WOW.
Whoa. An incredible voice, awesome camera direction, an awesome tune. Perfect, a pleasure to watch.
I was so unsure about this episode when it started but within the first few songs it quickly became my favorite episode. Literally every song speaks not only to feelings and doubts we all have but also develops the characters and strengthens our attachments to them.
The ENTIRE episode had me in tears and thinking about my past.. present and future... DAMN them for creating such thing...
Good song.
This song made me cry. Lovely episode, and I was definitely doubting it at first.
What an amazing singer. My favorite song from this episode. Loved the ways they tied the songs into the story line of the show. It's a shame the strike is going on because I would have really like to seen interviews to support this episode and possibly performances to support it as well.
One thing Star Trek has always had was music. From the original TOS "theme" to TNG's "new version" of the theme (which gave me cold chills the first time I heart it in a good way), to Voyager's "French Horn" section, to the singing Doctor, to Data singing at a wedding, to the heart warming flute solo of Captain Picard, to DS9 having performances in the holosuites, to "Shadows of the Night" in Picard, to many other episodes, and now in SNW. Music is nothing new in terms of Star Trek episodes or movies (i.e. the end of WoK). Having said that, I absolutely loved this episode and the chance they took with it. While I wouldn't suggest that every episode be of this nature: at least now the writers have a "lighted path" to include music later at some point should the story call for it. Nevertheless, this has to be one of my favorite episode of SNW!!!
i hope the space hippies from the TOS episode called the way to eden comes to SNW too :) the jam sessions to be had would be awesome.
This was TGE BEST SONG in the episode…. Am I crazy…🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️😊😊💪💪🙌🙌
Tears to my eyes, TRULY! What a fantastic talent!! The melismatic run at the end, oh boy, what a jewel this woman is!
This song speaks to me! Tears every time.
This is a stunning performance. It helps that the song is beautiful and magnificently produced. But Celia’s dynamics, phrasing, tone - everything - is Whitney Houston caliber. Amazing.
I had it on repeat, brilliant song and she sang it beautifully ❤❤. Great episode, loving this show.
Voice like a *cannon*. Fire away!
This amazing episode, spotlighted the incredibly diverse talents of the cast . It was well written, choreographed, and the characters and situations were believable in keeping with the theme of the show.
This was actually my favorite number. I know what it's like to internalize loss and feel like it's all you will ever experience.
But when you learn to turn it outwards it's amazing the positive impact you can have on others.
