Message: [QUOTE="Neb Lleb, post: 372149, member: 160436"] Reading this, I'm reminded of the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds story "Subspace Rhapsody". Up until this episode, I thought that Strange New Worlds was doing a fine job of modernising classic Trek tropes, but "Subspace Rhapsody" ditched this for trying to ape Buffy, specifically "Once More With Feeling", without realising why Buffy did this so well. For one, Buffy had five seasons before it, so it had earnt the right to do a musical outing, and it was also a sincere attempt at a musical with some genuinely great songwriting. "Subspace Rhapsody" rushed in during the second season, had characters that lacked the depth needed to pull something like this off, and felt like a blatant ratings grab. But again, I wouldn't consider it "Millennial Writing", but rather another case of people not getting why things worked in the past leading to their effort suffering as a result. EDIT: If you needed more proof as to the intent of "Subspace Rhapsody", they even have the character La'An mention bunnies. Why? You know why...[ATTACH type="full" size="640x236"]129355[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
