Enchantment of Eternity’s Star Trek Episode Reviews

Welcome to Enchantment of Eternity. I’m Marc, and I’m on a mission to analyze ever 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. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/enchantmentofeternity

Star Trek: Voyager Season 1 Episode 7 "Ex Post Facto" explained. Join me as I review and recap yet another wrongfully accused episode where a main cast member is accused of a murder we know for a fact they didn't commit. It does introduce an interesting concept where the convicted is forced to relive the final moments of their vitcims life, but it's used incorrectly where episode tries too hard to make it a film Noir episode that comes off as silly and hooky, where a planet in the Delta Quadrant comes off as 1940's America featuring cigarette smoking and DOGS, and the characters are taken directly from a 1940's film with horrible dialog and terrible acting. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 Episode 16 "Prophet Motive" explained. Join me as I review and recap the first episode that brings back the wormhole aliens / Prophets since the first episode of the show and they decide to do it in a Ferengi episode It's not one of the worst Ferengi episodes it's actually pretty decent. I do find it mildly amusing because unlike other episodes with the Grand Nagus they're not telling the same joke over and over again and come at it from a slightly different angle, that of the super nice and caring Grand Nagus.

The Cloud VOY Season 1, Episode 5

Wednesday Mar 26, 2025

Wednesday Mar 26, 2025

Star Trek: Voyager Season 1 Episode 5 "The Cloud" explained. Join me as I review and recap another typical anomaly, it does have the much quoted line of "there's coffee in that nebula" yet it actually doesn't make any sense that they can't use the replicators to conserve power yet it's okay for them to spend time in the much more power dependent holodeck. So this episode does have some good character moments and showcases how season 1 was more character focused than later seasons, but some of the character moments are not so good such as the Native American stereotyping going on with Chakotay's animal guide, and Neelix acting like a little b**** which can be quite annoying.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 Episode 15 "Destiny" explained. Join me as I review and recap this somewhat forgettable episode, that is the beginning of redifining what it means for Sisko to be the Emissary. But it over all is a pretty good episode that explores Cardassian culture more as we meet civilians who are not just fascists and get along well with our crew. So all in all a pretty good episode.

Phage VOY Season 1, Episode 4

Thursday Mar 20, 2025

Star Trek: Voyager Season 1 Episode 4 "Phage" explained. Join me as I review and recap the introduction to the Vidiians, although I will say I was surprised when they brought them back they seemed like a one off alien to me. Anyway this episode is kind of suspenseful it has a nice cat and mouse element to it, but it's kind of ruined by how annoying Neelix is. And also Janeway let off these aliens that viciously attacked with a slap on the wrist and somehow expected them to take her threats seriously.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 Episode 14 "Heart of Stone" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where it's confirmed that Odo is in love with Kira, which comes with a great twist. I debunk some nitpicks about the episode, and state what I think are valid nitpicks. Then I tackle Nog's decision to join Starfleet and how this is a massive retcon for both Nog and Rom.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 1 Episode 3 "Time and Again" explained. Join me as I review and recap the forgotten Time travel episode. It's okay, got some interesting use of time travel even if the time travel logic doesn't completely add up. I like how they use Kes and her telepathic skills, that was cool. But Janeway's strictness to the prime directive was a bit annoying. Anyway, Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
