Hooray!
I don’t recall ever hearing an Australian accent on the U.S.S. Enterprise, which you would expect if crew members are hailing from all over planet Earth. So that’s a nice touch. And of course that Aussie crew member here is played by Farscape’s Gigi Edgley, for that extra geek kick.
Catch up with Episodes 1 and 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, and Episode 5.
i must catch up on this series.
I’m torn about this one…I’m not sure if it’s a great message about abuse, although it might be a very Star Trek message about abuse. The scene about Kirk’s speeches seemed to be getting at something, but the conclusion didn’t sit well with me. (Is that vague and unspoilery enough?)
Great to see Gigi Edgley, though!
It all feels a bit… pat to me. And I wonder how Kirk knew about her past. Still, it’s better than “Spock’s Brain”!
Talk about damning with faint praise!
The production values are actually quite high in this one, and they’re doing a better and better job of recreating the look and feel of classic Trek. That just means the scripts deserve all the more scrutiny.
