Star Trek: Strange New Worlds writer Bill Wolkoff gives the real-world scientific explanation for Star Trek‘s first-ever musical, “Subspace Rhapsody”. Wolkoff co-wrote Strange New Worlds‘ musical episode with Dana Horgan, which was directed by Dermot Downs. In “Subspace Rhapsody,” the USS Enterprise sending a song into a subspace rift created a new musical reality that began to affect the entire galaxy, until the Starship Enterprise crew’s grand finale musical number, “We Are One,” managed to seal the rift.

Joining other screenwriters for Variety‘s A Night in the Writers’ Room, Bill Wolkoff delved into his scientific research behind Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ musical, and how eons from now, it’s possible that a musical reality could spontaneously form. Check out Bill’s clip on his X account (@flying_lobster) below:
