Uhura had the best song and the best performance. Celia Rose Gooding is a goddamned treasure, and it’s a treat to see them finally really putting that character to good use on a consistent basis.

Loved it. I was most surprised that the whole cast all had such beautiful singing voices.
La’an’s song touched me the most because I’m someone who also doesn’t really dare to do the things I’d like to do.
A bit sad that we didn’t get a Klingon opera but the alternative was … well, interesting too. 😄 Also, I kinda hope that Spock solving diplomatic crises with the Klingons by drinking excessive amounts of blood wine will become a running gag.

@UESPA_Sputnik I was hoping for a klingon opera too. But, yes, an interesting alternative.Disgustoid@startrek.website 1 year ago
Just like all Orions aren’t pirates, not all Klingons like opera. Some of them like…whatever that was that they sang.

That was obviously K-Pop.

My thoughts immediately went to boy bands but then again, K-pop is probably the modern equivalent so you're probably right?

Addendum: after watching it again I realized that (for the first time?) several male background extras were wearing the dress-type uniform variant that only the women used to wear.
Are we getting the unisex skant back? Hell yeah! I love this show.

Boimler wears a skant a bunch of times in Lower Decks.

I missed the skants? How could I have missed the skants?

They can both be seen in the corridors. The first one (in a red uniform) walks by Ortegas when the ship is hit by the energy field at the beginning. The other one (in a blue uniform) walks by Number One and Kirk during their song.
There may be more but those are the two that I spotted.

Yep, there they are. It’s less noticable because everyone wears pants/leggings under them, unlike in TOS/TNG, where a skirt meant bare legs. Maybe Pike keeps the ship’s environmental settings a little colder than the others.
