Review : Now, this was a worthy story to tell, but I'm not 100% certain it was Star Trek. The message came accross loud and clear, and it didn't show the old thing from TOS of 'we are better than everyone else', it was 'this is what we used to be like'. It's very hard to imagine these days. It was fascinating to see many of the actors without their make-up. I had to go on their voices, and it was quite surprising (call me out-of-touch, but I didn't even realize that Michael Dorn is black until now). Perhaps that added to people's performances, they could express themselves without their faces being frozen. Well done to all of them. Still, is a story about people in the past writing about the future still Star Trek? I think it is, because it was done well. Finally, the end got very close to the fourth wall.
