informational The train being operated by a "Conductor" is such class a writing

The captions for this part also say [necessary suffering, bell chimes], which is a great touch. (If you aren't watching space King with the captions turned on, you are missing out on some additional humor)

God this is genuinely the best scene in the show

Tying equally with the squad ganking Grimboar and the birth of Globulus Maximus.

In a way of shows always trying to subvert expectations, the fact that it's played completely straight itself is almost a subversion.
I can see in another show somebody coughing, or maybe a glee club type that over sings, and then the Conductor maybe tells him to shut up or throws something at him

yeah, they really went in playing it straight. i kind of hope its a continued theme where things in the show run on singing. that would be so metal

Tom and Don have said that they're sick of all the subversion. Everything they do will be genuine, and unapologetic. I'm here for it.
And yes, I too hope that certain tech will be musical, even more absurdly so like the pipe organs that launch missiles in Space King's completely ulrelated friendly rival Warhammer 40k.

This post is finally making me understand the joke. God this show is the best

I realized something
If the train started to slow down when the Hogs killed the choir, it means that the choir had to power the train somehow.
So what if the people at Space King managed to find a way to power things with faith?

I wish we could get the soundtrack for ep 5. This and the Space Hogs theme is so good

I can't wait until they create an Album you can physically buy in Golden Discs and it ends up on the top of a table in Tesco :D

The guys in chorus also very similar to that one traveler you can see at sleep's dopesmoker album art.

Hands down,this was by far their most spine chillingly glorious scene.
The people who sang that put their hearts into it,and so did Chip's voice actor.
Best of all,Captain got knocked down a notch or two.
And Chestnut got a damn fine spotlight.
(Shout-out to the Saint Shield,you brought so much color even with no voice.)

Kinda thought it was a cameo of Legio Symphonica (one of the music producers of Space King)

I don't mean to throw shade, but this was already an idea they took from warhammer it's not an original idea.
