| Review : |
They managed to make a holodeck story that I actually enjoyed. It was almost convincing (although arch-nitpickers will spot that "Insurrection Alpha" is set in the first-season right away) and it does show you a few things about writing. Go with what you know, keep it plausible (within the conventions of the story of course) and make sure the pace runs fast and you will have a thriller. Having Tuvok as the author was actually a very good choice, and I liked the 'training scenario' idea. Finally, bringing Seska back from the dead was an interesting idea as well (notice that the first thing she did was get herself a cooler gun - she ditched her compression phaser rifle from the scenario and had a 'First Contact' one when she reappeared). Not a classic, but reasonably enjoyable on a basic level. |
