So far my favorite. The interaction between #1 and Spock takes them both out of their normal reserved "shells" which, interestingly, terrifies #1 more than it does Spock. It's not a musical, it just uses one comedic song by #1 towards the end that shows another side to her personality. One that she prefers, and normally, stays hidden.
Spock, is somewhat bemused during her singing. But when #1 finishes, he finally gets it and repeats the chorus with #1 chiming in. At that point they both share something you rarely see from either character, laughter.
The regular show and its drama and life and death situations, and the fact its a military crew can make most of the characters seem pretty dramatic and grim . I think that some of the Short Treks are meant to show regular characters "out-of-character". That's the point of the song.
⠀ Musical? Why?!⠀ :(
