Through the Lens of Time

Someone or a team of someone's actually greenlit this season.. First episode was decent but what's happened after is a complete disgrace to Star Trek and it's fans. Really really really trying to watch Star Trek and really really really want to! Can we please have some Star Trek though? What is going on in the writers room??

What makes for a GREAT episode?

Adventure? Action? New Villains? Disastrously romp?

This one had all of that and much much MORE!! It's almost like the writers are writing FRESH after last weeks exciting show.

This episode is destined to become a classic with the crew working to figure out the clues, reunite and then get back to the USS Enterprise!

ENJOY.

So far this has been a hit or miss season. This is the best episode since the kickass premiere, and it's a visit to an actual Strange New World, which is nice for a change.

Multiple characters are put to good use in the story although I'm not warming up to Ortega's kid brother. Not that I want to see him killed off, but he needs to finish up his video project and depart. Soon.

The ensign whose name I didn't even catch had a good, meaty role. Marie's situation also got some more detail. Her storyline is one of the more interesting ones this season.

The archeology conundrum reminded me of a video game where the characters have to figure out mind-bending puzzles and take a leap of faith.

And - no spoilers - but did I detect a linkage to a DS9 plotline? Overall, good. But I'm still hoping for better.

The episode has its moments of drama that is rather boring. I think some of the problem is the writing and delivery just don't fit the content. I do not like the Ortegas character but I'm pretty certain that's by design. I'm surprised that her little brother is even more annoying, unfortunately the actor really isn't very good at the delivery.

Wow that was scientifically accurate as quantum!

I love this show! Its great they explore new approaches to asses what could be a strangeness is all about, it is in the end called strange new worlds and it is and apt name to put it.

Without any spoilers, this could be the one of the best episodes in the series.
