| Review : |
It'll be hard to go back to our universe after this, it was so much fun. Not only that, it was well-written and decently-acted. Scott Bakula was finally believable in something, and everyone else backed him up well. Mirror Hoshi was certainly a revelation! As for the story, well, it was way over the top in many places, but that didn't really matter. We had some decent plot twists, the Gorn was a good idea, and everyone at each other's throats throughout. The Defiant was only in the MU for about a week, but in that time she cut a swathe through the Tholians, annihilated the rebel fleet, carved up the Avenger and threatened to wreak wholesale destruction on Earth. And they say 22nd Century technology is too advanced! You always *knew* that Kirk could have done this, he just didn't because he was a good guy. They left us with a wonderful cliffhanger for the next series. What would happen next? Would 'Empress' Sato hang onto power? Can anyone grow old and die of natural causes over there? We'll never know. Apparently, this was the episode where Enterprise was cancelled. Just when it was getting good... |
