I don't know what's going on with the other comments, I thought it was great!
This episode really gets the story pushed along.
As a person who never actually got into Halo the video game, and didn't know anything about the story, this series is still just as captivating and epic and well made. Easily one of my favorite things to watch!
Wow. I might be the only one that liked this... From last week's awesome animated crossover to this week's the point when Spock started singing. I just love how they are trying new things in Trek. Doesn't hurt that I love a good musical.
For being set in the 90s there are a lot of modern day jokes.
it's got sloppy dialogue, muddled motivations and a diverse intersectional cast. this is 100% written by an AI because NOTHING makes sense and NOTHING is explained. 2 episodes in and i'm none the wiser.
Irreprehensibly bad writing. They clearly did very little to no research on how the CDC operates (or any hospital for that matter). The police response was equally bad. If they were going for this level of gross incompetence and unprofessionalism, they should've placed it in the '70s. Crystal Reed's character is smug and unlikable. All the stupid horror cliches are present, including jumpscares and people making stupid decisions. Plus, they changed the origin story completely for no good reason.
The thing about THE HUNT is that is an absolute blast of a horror comedy. Demented, violent and a bit times shocking; this film is an example of the twisted mind of Hollywood's writters (Damon Lindelof has even more twisted tricks up his sleeve) and a highly political satire of violence, racism, social superiority, guns and nasty comments on social media. The plot catches you straight from the beginning and twists the knife (see what I did there?) into a non stop frenzy of comical violence and a hero in Betty Gilpin's insane performance.

What If drives a high standard and every season there's a couple of episodes which are amazing. The Doctor Strange one from S01 is the most memorable one (ignoring the final episode for logical reasons). This was the best episode so far hands down.
This is just so brilliant.
Following the great last one, yet another fantastic episode
I liked this one, but I wanted more. A lot to pack into half an hour. Seemed like it would've been much better in a longer format.
Time will remember this episode considerably more fondly than the people who are disappointed about it on the day it comes out. Admittedly not everyone likes musicals, and that's fine, but it's a joy to watch Star Trek take exciting chances in storytelling. The episode also includes some valuable callbacks (Callforwards?) to TOS
I was very skeptical about a musical episode, but after the fantastic crossover I had my hopes up. And I wasn’t disappointed. It was not the best episode of this season but it was great. I don’t understand the bad ratings - maybe because they [spoiler]stayed in the musical and didn’t go space bunnies[/spolier]? I even started to feel like Jim(s actor) belongs. Unfortunately only one episode left :cry:.
What's wrong with all the haters here?
I usually dislike musical episodes, but the investment in this episode giving us a glimpse into the crew emotions. I mean, even the theme song was sung!
I still say, best star trek ever. Loving it!
