Second last two-parter for the season wraps up. Spoilers.
Very little of this episode felt like kids Trek, this felt like full-strength action against an impossible meeting. Some of this, like the Zero plot, would honestly be a bit much for Adult Trek a lot of the time. I don’t have a lot to say really because this was just a fantastic 20 minutes of TV, both resolving things and setting up a strong plot for remainder of the season.
(Very) quick hits:
-
“A risk, not a certainty”. Fantastic line.
-
This is a real ‘Bond Super Villain’ type of weapon here. It’s a weapon being used on a defenceless space ship, which could have been blown up way easier with something else.
-
Zero is getting to go full Spock Box here.
-
Not quite sure why the Boothby Supernova is so hard – it seems to be just ‘jettison half of ship, go full Z up’.
-
I’ll admit that I’m glad to go back to more of an original Zero design.
955 down.
