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.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 14 "Alliances" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode that portrayed what Voyager should have been like for the majority of its run, forced to make alliances with the dominant aliens of the space regardless of how unsavory they might be. Many complain that this episode should have continued this storyline and that it sucks that it's contained to this one episode, which I agree, but I'd rather have it in this one episode than not at all, and I think this episode does an amazing job of exploring this topic.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 13 "Prototype" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode with the Robot that looks like it came straight from a 1950's sci-fi movie, but despite that I think the look of the robot works and feels quaint rather than cheesy. And the story works as well, as a great B'elanna character story as she forced with a strong moral dilemma. And this is a low key commentary in support of the Prime Directive.

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.

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.
