    Don’t think I have ever had such mixed feelings about an upcoming episode.

    I feel like it will either be gloriously entertaining on par with Those Old Scientists or a complete cringefest, and that the fanbase is going to be equally divided.

      The cast includes a Grammy winner from a successful Broadway musical, another Broadway performer, and another who toured with a Gilbert & Sullivan company.

      The songs were written by alternative music musicians who have successful songs in a motion picture soundtrack and have done the same for other shows.

      The preconditions for them pulling this off exceptionally well are there.

      For those who happily purchase Spiner’s ‘Old Yellow Eyes’ but believe that no other forms, musical or animation, are sufficiently respectful of the dignity of the franchise, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
