I watch 2 episodes of Star Trek from 2 different series, and write about them.
We get a taste of life on the lower decks of the Federation’s flagship, and we’re introduced to the crew of the Cerritos, which is far from a flagship.
Read More “Starfleet is better with you in it”: Lower Decks (TNG) vs. Second Contact (Lower Decks)Deep Space Nine and Enterprise get in the Halloween spirit, as Garak goes all Michael Myers on an abandoned station, and T’Pol finds a zombie apocalypse on board a Vulcan ship.
Read More “Use logic more quietly”: Empok Nor (DS9) vs. Impulse (Enterprise)A Romulan defector and a mysterious Cardassian show us what true patriotism might look like, in two fine examples of Star Trek at its Star Trek-iest.
Read More “I’ll try to make my lies more opaque”: The Defector (TNG) vs. Duet (DS9)Suspicion and paranoia abound on the Defiant and the Voyager, as shape-shifting impostors and surgically altered spies force Sisko and Chakotay to question how much they can trust those under their command.
Read More “You’re too late, we’re everywhere”: The Adversary (DS9) vs. State of Flux (VOY)O’Brien is falsely accused, and Picard fears a witch hunt, in a couple of episodes which aren’t nearly as farfetched as we’d like them to be.
