Interesting look into how songs for the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds musical episode "Subspace Rhapsody" was written - in only five weeks, with specific instructions dictated by the needs of the plot, and tailored to the vocal abilities (or limitations) of the cast.

I enjoyed this episode a lot, but did feel the songs weren't as strong as ideally they could have been. Knowing the circumstances that they were written under makes this more understandable.
