Ok, I hate Musicals, I hate the singing in Disney movies. So this is not for me. It is kind of well executed I guess and at least they have an in-universe explanation - in contrast to the behaviour of Boimler and Mariner in the other gimmick episode - but still, it is not a good episode. Because the story is too simple. Because there ist to much heartaches. And too much Kirk. And Pike gets reduced further.
The episode is kind of ok, but that makes 2 unnecessary gimmick episodes out of 10, in one season. It is kind of ok to something like this in once in several seasons if you have enough other good episodes, but this is kind of ridiculous. The showrunners and writers are just not capable of doing good Star Trek I fear. Season 1 really gave me hope, but season 2 is a downer mostly.
