Logline

An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS 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.

    I found it peculiar how the Klingons were saying there was no honor in the singing—considering how into Opera the can be known to be—up until I heard how they got the most egregious of the autotune.

      That definitely was a funny surprise. Up until that point I had assumed that the Klingons would be doing their own style of music, but evidently the reality field the whole subspace network was tethered to was a very specific kind of musical that excluded Klingon opera.

      I don’t think it was the singing bringing dishonor but instead the fact the singing happens by expressing inner feelings and emotions.

      To sing does not dishonor a Klingon, but to be forced to sing by something the Federation set off, that dishonors a Klingon.
