An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the U.S.S. Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships — allies and enemies alike.

This episode was bad, not because it was "woke", but because the idea was bad, and the execution was bad. As others have already pointed out, Trek has always been woke. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention. But Trek has also had its share of bad episodes - check out last season's The Elysian Kingdom, or Spock’s Brain and The Way to Eden from the original series. Sometimes when writers want to try something outside established formulas, it doesn't work. Other times, it works brilliantly, as in The City on the Edge of Forever - which also happened to be pretty woke.
But for some, anything outside their narrow range of acceptable content is woke, even if they have no idea what woke means.
FYI (per Merriam Webster): woke (adjective)
1: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
2: politically liberal - as in matters of racial and social justice - especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme
I didn't see anything about singing and dancing in there. But maybe that's because I'm a liberal snowflake.
Putting them in a Science Fiction Show it is.
just an awful episode in my book. This show has really slipped this year. It's not even being faithful to the original series any more
I'm loving this season so far due to amazing and creative story writing but this one sends this season back to earth. I may be a bit biased against musicals but a lot of TV series have inserted a musical in their show in one form or another and so there is nothing unique about it. But then again I guess this is just a matter of taste as I'm not really a fan of musicals. I'd still give this a 7 so as not to ruin the entire season. Just my five cents.
Please stop - this is a place to discuss episodes.
Well. I am not a fun of musical episodes but... If i good remember it was a 'Buffy' looks like episode and 'Sanctuary'... For me 4/10 but let them sings for others :)
lol, look who's got all the downvotes though. I'm only one person/vote.
