SNW Musical Episode: Klingons’ Boy Band Number Was Almost an Opera

https://tvline.com/interviews/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-musical-deleted-scene-klingon-opera-1235023488/

Arguably one of the best moments in the SNW Musical episode subspace rhapsody was Bruce Horak Cameo as the captain of the Klingon boy band. But there is a deleted scene of the opera version that while absolutly best scene won, would be fun to see released to fans

It wasn't just any kind of boy band.

It was K-pop.

I can understand their dishonor.

K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.

CodingAndCoffee@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

In this case the K in K-pop stands for Klingon

On Qo'nos they just call it pop

There was just too little of it.

It was also more in-line with the story - Klingon opera doesn't really belong in American-style musical theatre, while it's easier to slot this sort of pop into that style.

Really hope it can be released to fans maybe at a con then online

I thought the subtle change to the opening credits was great too. I noticed they did that on Those Old Scientists too, so I’m wondering if there were others I missed in this or prior seasons.

For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9's "Playing God" had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it's about halfway into the video below:

I ran Klingon fleets on STO for so long that part of me identifies as tlhIngan. I own a bat'leth. I thought it was the bomb. ;)
