Enchantment of Eternity’s Star Trek Episode Reviews

Welcome to Enchantment of Eternity. I’m Marc, and I’m on a mission to analyze every episode of the Star Trek Franchise. I started with The Original Series, and then moved on to The Next Generation, and now I’m covering Deep Space Nine and Voyager in order of airdate. It’s my mission statement to always give my honest opinion on each and every episode regardless of what the popular opinion is, so sometimes I have some hot takes. I prefer character based stories. I try to analyze the writing, acting, cinematography, and music of each episode, with emphasis on the writing. I explore themes and commentaries on the episode and give my opinion on whether or not it works, as well as explore some behind the scenes tidbits and trivia, and share my personal experience with the episode. We also hear from my patreon supporters and what they think of the episode. So check me out and give it a listen.

Join me as I cover one of the best two parters in the Star Trek franchise, as Voyager goes from it's worst season to it's best season with the introduction of a great new character, and the best use of the Janeway / Chakotay relationship.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5 Episode 23 "Blaze of Glory" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where the Maquis story line is put to rest. I do like how they resolve this, it is tragic seeing Eddington deal with the consequences of what the Maquis wrought. However I feel like this could have been built up to better. The Sisko / Eddington conflict never felt fully developed to me and I feel like there should have been more episodes to build up to it. As is, it kind of feels like the writers just wanted to get this story over with so they could move on to better and brighter things.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 3 Episode 24 "Displaced" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where Voyager let's themselves be conquering by the world's laziest conquerors. The Voyager crew just can't seem to hold on to their ship, and are always letting random aliens take over their ship. In this case there was several avenues they could have stopped them had they been more competent. That being said this was a fun "popcorn" episode, that was entertaining and unique enough to find enjoyable.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5 Episode 22 "Children of Time" explained. Join me as I review and recap the timey wimey episode that I think was a good idea but lacked in execution. It has a problem with the time travel logic that I can't look beyond because the episode hinges on it. And the really frustrating thing about it is that there was an easy out. There was an ending that would have made perfect sense that I propose in this video, that would have fixed any paradoxes while still be good story telling. The problem however is that it wouldn't be a dark ending which is clearly what they were going for. I love dark endings but when they are earned, not when you have to defy logic and create paradoxes in order to have it.
