This isn't like your average neflix drawn out, boring docuseries. By that I mean that it's actually good! The cases are obviously tragic and would be enough by themselves to make even the most stoic true crime fan a little emotional, but the interviews with the parents and family were very real and moving. It's not overblown or overly dramatic and quite respectful which I liked.

I'm only a few episodes in btw, but I probably will watch the whole thing in a few days. When Missing Turns to Murder is a refreshingly concise production and hopefully Netflix will consider the positive reviews and try to match this kind of quality in future.

The Enterprise finds a lone Borg drone, separated from the collective, and brings him aboard. The drone begins to reassert his individuality, but his presence causes differing levels of fear and sympathy from various crew members.

I felt like telling Dr Crusher to stfu for most of this episode. I'm surprised Riker didn't tell her to get off her high horse and stop pontificating. The Borg kill every human they encounter, yet she's disgusted at the idea of leaving this horrifying murderer to die.

Only Guinan seems to make any sense in this episode reminding everyone of the extreme dangers of keeping the Borg unit on board.

Worth watching for sure!

So here we have the crew responding to a distress call from Tasha Yar's home planet. The one that has fallen into anarchy and the federation was like "meh screw em" or something.

Now lets be straight up here, the actual direction and pacing are a bit dodge. Also the crew reacts somewhat uncharacteristically at times... But!

What makes this episode not worth skipping for me is the actress that plays Tasha Yar's sister Ishara. Beth Toussaint is drop dead hot first of all, but gives a good performance. Like I've read in many other reviews, I wish they'd have taken her on as permanent crew member. She's more exiting to watch and quite likely a better actor than the established female cast, whom we all know don't really get a fair shake as goes writing.

That said this isn't the strongest episode, but it does give some back story to Tasha Yar and her planet. Also hot.
