      The actress who plays La'an is professionally trained as a singer and it really shows here. I think her song is definitely the best solo of the story, and likely the best song.

      Absolutely agree. This gave us some much needed exposé on how La'an is feeling about seeing Jim again, and when she falls back on the bed, us getting a glimpse at what could have been, truly drives home just how depressing this is for her.

    Okay, I'm sorry, but... after seeing La'an and Kirk's chemistry and watching OG Kirk scream "Khaaaan!!!" in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, can anyone else picture Kirk screaming "Laaaa'an!" under very different circumstances?

  • @MatthewStephensAU
    @MatthewStephensAU Год назад +32

    00:10 "Who am I kidding? I've never met that side of me."
    La'an's song was the only one with imaginary aspects. It's because she was pouring her heart out to *herself*. The one she was revealing this side to was her. Admitting it is the first step.

    This was a beautiful song, and I honestly was surprised at how well it evoqued a sense of tragedy for me when she fell back on the bed, and got flashes of her and Jim and she was pregnant.

    Christina saved the show. I'm gonna say that her story arc here and "Tomorrow and.." was genuine emotion there. I haven't seen it that good since Doris Day from "The Man Who Knew Too Much" when she wept after being drugged by her husband when her child was abducted and wept. Really impressive.

    This part of the Musical of Star Trek Strange New Worlds: S2 E9 really captured the emotion of La'an and Jim. It is also ironic that it shows the opposite relationship of La'an Khan (A Relative of Khan) and James T. Kirk prior to James T. Kirk meeting Khan (Botany Bay) in the future.

    Jim totally played La'an in this episode. La'an violated the Temporal Prime Directive by telling Kirk about Toronto so that she could tell him that she is in love with him. Kirk's like, ah, gosh-darnit, too bad you didn't catch me a couple months ago because - yeah - I just knocked another chick up... so, yeah. Bummer, huh?
    But he NEVER had a relationship with his son (the boy wasn't named David Kirk), as was made clear in The Wrath of Khan, and his relationship with his baby-mama, Dr. Marcus was also very short-lived. As she said, "You had your world and I had mine, and I wanted him in mine...." So, Kirk just used David Marcus' conception as an excuse not to get involved with Khan Noonien Singh's great-great-great-granddaughter. I love this show because it gives hardcore Trekkers like me treats like this. Kirk being Kirk.

      Besides writers have been trying to figure out a Star Trek musical for years and years, they originally wanted it for Next Gen, and then DS9 both didn't pan out, then they tried again for Enterprise and it didn't pan out again. Strange New Worlds finally got it througj
