Great, but this episode actually moved forward lots of character arcs via it’s songs. It was a cleaver way to do it as characters can just belt out their emotions in song under “musical rules” so they could pack the episode.

But it felt packed and so became a chore of too much of a thing...the fact each of 5 main character needed their own 5mintues of it

No throwaway given the number of relationships that don’t seem likely to move forward after the episode.

Iade it 15 minutes. Fucking waste of time. Also, there is a reason that it’s score is in the 40% range where every single other episode is in the 80% range.
I didn’t sign up to watch Star Trek: the shitty ass musical.

YMMV, glad you tried it.
I am sceptical of your assertion that this episode has a very negative score though. I don’t see a rating for this episode that low on any aggregator.
IMDb currently has the episode rated audience reviews at 7.0. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 100% fresh for pro reviews.
The score is lower on IMDb than other for episodes because there are folks brigading against it. A distribution that is clustered at 8, 9, and 10 then flat though the middle and spiked with a high number of 1s is fairly good evidence of a campaign to gatekeep against certain kinds of things.
IDIC, let others enjoy what they enjoy, not every episode need to be made for your preferences.

I made a mistake, TMDB not IMDb. TMDB is what is linked up with Plex servers (mine anyway) and I assume jellyfin servers as well.
