I really liked it! Every actor gave it everything they had and it showed. I know a lot of people are going to review it poorly for "not real trek" but Star Trek has always had the odd weird episode, and Subspace Rhapsody fits well. There's a reason for the singing, the story is fun, the singing is great, songs are catchy, and it has good character development. The story had a few weak spots, I will admit, but that didn't bother me.
This episode is just about having fun, and that's what the cast and crew did! They all had fun. And so did I.
Besides, it's fun to let loose and goof off every once in a while anyway!

I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes. The story is just getting started at this point which I guess is why they released 3 straight away.
The characterisation is great! Darby is a gem and the crew all have their quirks and perks. Each character has their own little story going on and after 3 episodes I am already attached to most!
The comedy is classic Taika Waititi which is not to everyones taste but true love for me.
Cinematography is good for a HBO comedy, and the music is of course well suited.
I hops this show does well, but then it is not to everyones taste and I can see why. It's silly and fun but that's good enough for me!

Downton Abbey is something else.
When it comes to what movies and shows are regarded as "good", usually it is based on numerous cinematic keys such as story, direction, cinematography, performance, and art. But for Downton Abbey, you forget all of that. Cinema art (though appears frequently and strong) is not why you watch Downton. You watch it for the people who's lives capture you. From 1911 to the late 1920s, Downton Abbey takes you on a journey and one you wish would never end. You see beauty in the created world. You see love. You see drama and passion and enticing moments that have your heart pounding like an ACDC concert. You don't just watch Downton Abbey, you live it.
On that dreadful Monday evening, you put on the very next episode and let Cousin Violet, Lady Mary, Mr Bates and Carson take you to a new world. A new escape. There will be times when you will cry. And there will be times when you laugh and smile. And yet there will also be times where you scratch your head a little. But none the less, you continue to go forward with the next episode because you just know that life is different and somewhat better with Downton. You're a part of this world for the next hour or more and that is something really rare and special.
Writer and comedian Jimmy Carr recently stated in his new book that during his most stressful times, he would watch an episode of Downton because it just takes you away from every panicking moment in your life and throws you into this exciting new world of the 1920s. He puts it well by stating during the worst moments of his life, nothing beat "Downton and Chill".
And it's true. We watch these shows and movies to find an escape from reality for a couple of hours. And while most shows do that, Downton Abbey does it better. It doesn't take you away for a few hours. It takes you away for 6 whole seasons.
I don't think there will ever be a show quite like this ever again. And I am glad for that because it means Downton Abbey will forever remain special. Looking back at the year of 2021, I won't think of it as the year I began my studies, or the year I got a new job. I will look back on it and see it as the year I went on an adventure to Downton Abbey, and blimey what a memory to behold.
Thank-You Julian Fellowes, it's been a pleasure experiencing this wonderful world you created!
