Enchantment of Eternity’s Star Trek Episode Reviews

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 6 Episode 26 "Tears of the Prophets" explained. Join me as I review and recap the Season 6 finale; a finale that doesn't quite do this amazing season justice. It tries to be a sequel to "The Reckoning" which wasn't one of the best of the season, and it has to kill off Jadzia Dax because Rick Berman harrassed and Terry Ferrel off the show. And it does kind of a half assed job of it, and they could have killed her off more effectively in other episodes like "Change of Heart". But it does feature some cool battle sequences, not amazing but another to keep things interesting. The ending cliff hanger felt a bit forced, and unclear, but otherwise a fairly decent episode.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 4 Episode 26 "Hope and Fear" explained. Join me as I review and recap the season 4 finale, which as a finale was okay, maybe a tad disappointing. It does pay off a lot of the storylines in season 4, mainly Seven of Nine's character arc and integration into the crew. It resolves the ongoing storyline of the damaged message from Starfleet in "Hunters" (although I would argue in an unsatisfying way). And it references "Scorpion". My main problem is the main villain is being dumb, and blaming Janeway for something she isn't responsible for, in fact he should be thanking her for saving his whole race from being wiped out by Species 8472. You're welcome.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 6 Episode 24 "Time's Orphan" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that doesn't really need to exist. There is a cornel of a good idea here, like it would have been interesting if an 18 year old Molly could actually talk and normally interact with people but was raised by weird aliens. And if she remained this old, but instead we got an "wolf child" cliché which I just did not find interesting. Also this episode is frustrating because they should have just beamed her back and tried again until they got her at the correct age, especially because that's what ends up happening anyway, this whole episode didn't need to happen.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 4 Episode 25 "One" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where Seven is all alone on Voyager with only the Doctor for company as the crew is in stasis. It's a decent idea which starts out interestingly enough, but then it attempts to do a "Shining" -esque creepy mind binder and it fails and comes off as silly and goofy. And plus it gets kind of boring just having Seven of Nine wandering the ship by herself.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 4 Episode 24 ""Demon" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that explores a dangerous planet, something that has been done before in "Parturition" and it explores the concept of Voyager almost being dead in the water because it is desperately running out of deuterium something that was done before in several episodes, most notably "Resistance" and where duplicates are made of the Voyager crew, something that was done before in "Deadlock". So as you can see, a truly original episode, one that is very "meh".

Join me as I cover a misfire of an episode that portrays a crew that's too stupid to be in Starfleet regardless of age, and whom you're glad they get the death they earned at the end. "Valiant"

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 6 Episode 21 "The Reckoning" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that goes deep into Fantasy territory where two gods (one good, one evil) possess one of our main characters and then have a battle where there stand there and shoot beams of light from their chests. Some people find this ridiculous, but I'm okay with it. For one: Star Trek has always been a bit of a sci-fi / fantasy, so them going deeper into the fantasy aspect doesn't bother me all that much. And for two: this episode has a lot of great character moments and character interactions, and that for me is the most important thing. It takes Kai Winn back to the villain she really is, it has some hilarious moments with Dax, and it gives Sisko a powerful moral dilemma to deal with. It's similar to the episode "Rapture" in Season 5, but far superior.
