I only purchased this toothbrush because that was the only way to get the water-resistant Entertainment Center/Speaker/Corporate Surveillance Device for the one room in my house that is the least comfortable, has the worst acoustics, and has the strongest expectation of privacy, and also I can’t just put a regular Alexa in like a plastic bag or something because I blew my plastic bag budget on a fucking app-controlled toothbrush or whatever the fuck this is supposed to be, jesus christ
The thing that would’ve really sealed it for me, I think, would be if we got the occasional cut away from the musical number to the parts of the ship that weren’t affected. Like, there’s one bit where someone shuts off the artificial gravity for dramatic effect, and I was dying for the cut across the ship to the guy in who’s been off-duty taking a nap for the last three hours, slept through the whole first act of the episode, just drifting out of his bunk and into a bulkhead with no explanation. I love a good “consequences of everyone being just a little too Extra™” in my self-aware diegetic musical episode.

spoilerIt couldn’t possibly be the worst deus ex machina in the history of Star Trek, because it has to affect the goddamn plot in any capacity to be a deus ex machina. I’m just not sure what the Latin for “some unmotivated bullshit that comes out of nowhere to tie up the already-irrelevant B-plot” is. …Which makes it worse, I think, considering that season barely tied up the A-plot.

How come Data has rights but not the legacy EMH?
