Klingons have a brutal reputation as fearsome warriors, but this week’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds proved they could also be fierce singers and dancers. The usually gruff humanoids made a brief …

I know musicals breaks the show don't tell a bit as you can sing not show......but they seemed to use that excuse to get right back round to tell tell tell even in song form
