Enchantment of Eternity’s Star Trek Episode Reviews

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 12 "Resistance" explained. Join me as I review and recap an underrated gem of an episode, one that doesn't get the recognition that it deserves. Although, yes I do have some nits to pick about this episode, none of that dimishes how powerful this episode is. I call it "Janeway's The Inner Light". Kate Mulgrew gives one of her best performances in the show opposite a great guest actor. And the story is so emotional and a great tragedy, I absolutely love it. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 11 "Maneuvers" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where Seska returns and manages to out maneuver Voyager at every turn to try to get Starfleet technology for the Kazon. But Chakotay defies orders and nearly sacrificing himself to stop her. Not an amazing episode but does reinforce how much better the villains were in earlier seasons as Seska was easily the best villian of the show.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 8 "The Sword of Kahless" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that does the old tired clichéd gold fever storyline where Worf is so out of character a lot of the audience assumed there was some technology or magic effected him, but no it was just bad writing.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 7 "Little Green Men" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode with the silly premise of Quark, Rom, and Nog being the Roswell aliens as a freak accident takes the trio back in time to the 1950's. Look I admit the premise sounds funny, but I find the episode itself to be mostly boring. It's just the 3 of them sitting in a room being questioned by a bunch of flat caricatures and nothing really happens in it. Are there a few funny moments in this episode? Sure. Enough to justify it's existence? No. I don't really find this episode funny overall, I just find it boring. But that's just me, I know a lot of other people love this episode I frankly can't see why. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 9 "Tattoo" explained. Join me as I review and recap the first big Chakotay episode that really gets into his character and back story with his father. However it is also controversial in its handling of Native American culture which is criticized by not being accurate. This has to do with the show's advisor on Native American culture being a known fraud. While I'm sure the show runners' hearts were in the right place, they wanting to continue Star Trek's tradition of inclusiveness, their execution had a lot to be desired. This is further complicated by the ending of the episode that implies aliens (played by white actors) helped the Native Americans settle the Americas and they were the only reason they thrived. Which I admit is not good optics, but it does seem like something Star Trek (TOS) would do. But despite this, I still found it to be a strong character story for Chakotay.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 6 "Starship Down" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that tries to be like "Balance of Terror" and "Disaster" and ends up doing neither very well and is done much better years later in "Strange New Worlds". The cat and mouse theme with Jem'hadar is exciting and works for a while until we get to the Disaster elements, then the episode kind of falls apart. Sisko and Kira act like they're not close friends which they are. Kira acts like she worships Sisko as a deity, which she doesn't. Worf acts like he doesn't know how to communicate with Junior officers, which he does. The Karemma act like their honest actors who value honesty in business, which they're not. And the Bashir and Dax thing is fine, but nothing really happens in it. So all in all this episode is a disaster.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 8 "Persistence of Vision" explained. Join me as I review and recap a very creepy episode, one that I thought would suck because it was focused on Janeway's Gothic Holonovel, but it turned out to be one of the creepiest episodes of Trek and super intense. And I love how it uses Kes and her telepathic abilities. It may goes a bit too far at the end, but still has a strong sense of foreboding through out the episode as the crew start to succumb to delusions.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 5 "Rejoined" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode with the first same sex couple kiss in Star Trek, but it's more than just that it tells a great a powerful love story and the kiss isn't done as a ploy. In fact it's never even mentioned that the two lovers are the same sex implying such matters don't matter in the 24th century, however at the same time the story of the Trill taboo of forbidden love tells an allegory of the discriminations that LGBTQ+ couples face. It's not a perfect analogy but it hits on key notes. In the episode Avery Brooks does a masterful job of directing, and Terry Ferrell gives perhaps the best performance in the show, as the chemistry between the characters is undeniable.
