except the singing episode, that one I didn’t making it through the first 10 minutes

I remember when Buffy: The Vampire Slayer did a singing episode and everyone went nuts for it. Probably helps that the Buffy cast was already a bunch of shameless drama nerds itching for exactly this chance to shine. Then it just became a trope within the Sci-Fi / Teen Fantasy genre that kept getting well received because of course a bunch of Hollywood B/C-list actors are going to ham it up the first chance they get.

But I did not get the sense that the SNW cast actually knew how to sing. Like, did they rehearse this beforehand? It felt so amateurish by comparison. The lyrics were also just so flat. It feels like you shouldn’t need to work that hard to do a Star Trek musical number. But that episode was painfully phoned in, particularly given how hard they went in others.

the other brain trust is about to force another Daisy Ridley Star Wars on us

Daisy Ridley was the best thing to come out of The Sequels. She and Adam Driver carried that mess for three movies as it collapsed around them. If you got rid of everything but Daisy Ridley, I’d be happy to see her get another bite at the apple. She’s still got to feed slop to that fucking Mouse, though.
