Back after an unplanned break in reviews, but fortunately still dealing with the Prodigy backlog. Spoilers.
For some reason this episode really grabbed me, and I found myself watching rather than taking notes or reviewing. I think that’s mainly because after a few episodes of mechanics, piece moving and technobabble this episode was actually able to tell a story, with some resolution of mystery rather than adding more.
It helps that we finally have the ensemble together. As this is ultimately a kids show the characters are locked into one or two main modes, which means that you need them together to have the full set of perspectives and possibilities.
Quick hits:
-
Yay, Cerritos reference.
-
“Please state the nature of the mentorship emergency” – LOL
-
That seems like a fairly small enclosure relative to the size of the whale. Some good depth, but not a lot of width.
-
Nice use of the Voyager theme when the crew stands for Janeway.
-
Why are we so sure that the numbers are in the right oder when the words weren’t? Seems like a big chance for Gwyn.
