The fourth two-parter of the season. Spoilers.
It really felt like we could get to the plot a lot faster. The first nearly ten minutes was a lot more like an epilogue to some of the previous stories. A lot of it could have been skipped or just covered in a line of dialogue.
And then once we hit the action it’s absolutely breakneck. To take one example - Dal’s Nova Flyer plot feels like it’s missing a step - either more rejection from the Nova Squadron people, or he having a lack of confidence himself.
Still, nice to have a clear villain back. And Asencia is a great villain.
(Very) quick hits:
-
Continuity error - after making a big deal of it, Chakotay is wearing the wrong com badge in the debrief scene.
-
‘Putting our fates in the hands of bureaucrats’ - what exactly is your day job again, Admiral Janeway?
-
Good cliffhanger there with old Wesley.
954 down.
