Star Trek: 10 Most Mind-Bending Spatial Anomalies

Or the 'Kling-Pop' Anomaly

We had to include the most recent, most anomalous of anomalies that cast Pike's Enterprise awash in the (mostly) dulcet seas of subspace rhapsody. "Why am I singing?" I don't know. You tell me! It's the musical episode. Get ready (ready!) — you've earned it!

This subspace fold (or fissure, if you prefer) really changes everything. Well, at least it could have. Eerily beautiful as it stretched away from the Enterprise into the infinities of the universe, the anomaly initially showed promise for drastically boosting the Federation's subspace communication capacities. However, rather than subspace broadband, it was (off[-off]) Broadway for the crew. Just be thankful it didn't happen on the Cerritos, or, with Dr T'Ana aboard, we might have got that 'butthole cut' of Cats.

The melomania only begins when Pelia suggests music as a test transmission method through the fold. Uhura's choice of 'Anything Goes' might as well be the title of the episode, but it's all in good fun. They've certainly no one but themselves to blame. One 'quantum uncertainty/improbability field' from the fold later and everyone's up singing and dancing their hearts out like it's the callback auditions for Julliard.

There is dramatic tension in amongst the high notes, too. As the improbability effect spreads, the Klingons threaten to destroy the subspace fold, but this would wipe out all the Federation and half the Empire with it. Of course, we are also treated to the highly hilarious, and impeccably choreographed, Kling-Pop number from General Garkog and crew.
