“One day, in the deleted scenes, you will see there’s an alternate version of that, which is opera,” Goldsman tells TVLine. “But [co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers] and I were very much married to the boy band thing.”
I mean, the opera version was 100% what I was expecting, although I guess in retrospect there was no specific reason to suspect that. The boy band version was, however, the funniest/best version possible
It wasn't just any kind of boy band.
It was K-pop.
I can understand their dishonor.
K-Pop is best listened to in the original Klingon.
On Qo'nos they just call it pop
There was just too little of it.
It was also more in-line with the story - Klingon opera doesn't really belong in American-style musical theatre, while it's easier to slot this sort of pop into that style.
Really hope it can be released to fans maybe at a con then online
finally, best use of autotune tech
I thought the subtle change to the opening credits was great too. I noticed they did that on Those Old Scientists too, so I’m wondering if there were others I missed in this or prior seasons.
For those who need a Klingon opera fix sooner, DS9's "Playing God" had the Klingon restaurant owner singing opera with Jadzia. Just watched this episode yesterday in my series rewatch. Not sure how to clip to a timestamp but it's about halfway into the video below:
