I liked it better when it was called Star Wars. I kept on waiting for one of the characters to be Force sensitive. It’s essentially trying to be a Star Wars spin off series (but not as good) with a nod to Star Trek.
I’ll see where this goes. It would be nice to get some new real Star Trek at some point. It’s been a long while now.
It was knowing of the addition of the one already established Star Trek character that kept my interest going here. Will give credit there for that. We will see how well the character will be used going forward.
The difference between last week’s episode and this one is night and day. This has to be the absolute best of the series so far.
It is hard to find any fault in this episode unless one really nitpicks. Having met Asimov, they may had portrayed him a bit more generous. That is not a put down on him, he was just one that struck me as a no nonsense type of guy from the brief experience I had with him.
Casting this one off episode is outstanding as was the production.
The non-verbal communication in the finale was beyond impressive.
I just wish it could had continued for another episode or two. That said, bravo!
Re-watching the episode ‘No Time Like the Past’ written by Rod Serling tonight, I was reminded of the classic Star Trek episode ‘City on the Edge of Forever’. Both explored bittersweet romances in the past. Outside of that similarity, they both dip into similar themes from opposite angles. In The Twilight Zone story, it was deemed that the past is destined to play out as it did and will continue to do so despite trying to change it. While on Trek, the past could very easily be changed and thus altering the future. Twilight Zone paints the future/present rather pessimistically, while Trek takes a decidedly optimistic view of it. Both stories end similarly with the central character being frustrated of the outcome of their experience.
