and That Puppet Episode

I was ambivalent about “Those Old Scientists” and bringing the LD cast in as live-action characters. Ended up loving it.

I was ambivalent about “Subspace Rhapsody” and a musical episode in general. Also loved it.

I was initially ambivalent about the puppet episode, but if history is anything to go by, bring it on.

OP

I saw someone compare it to “Rascals”, and I’m hard-pressed to say it’s a sillier idea.

I thought I was above enjoying all of the really campy episodes, but apparently not. I thoroughly enjoyed “Rascals” just for the Guinan / Ro Laren sass.

Star Trek is long overdue for Broadway

If they took Subspace Rhapsody to Broadway, I would happily make that my first show.
