Someone watching along with The Greatest Generation?
I love these episodes. But by the Lords of Kobol I’m increasingly rankled by the mispronunciation of names. I’m looking at you Tigh, Tyrol, and Mr Gaeta.
British. Specifically Scottish.
As I am not American I grew up with socialism being a positive connotation in day to day culture, so much so it’s wild to me that this needed to be veiled in Trek’s past. Star Trek should be as explicit as possible with this. “Hey, you want Utopia? This is how you earn it!”
We saw 4 minutes of Tom Paris the father!
I lost so much money in that too.
What a mixed bag; I don’t like the episode, but I respect a couple of elements of it.
- the decision to “Voyager” the Breen to the Galactic Barrier was borderline inhumane (the very name is racist); but, as a solution to the issue it was one that was both Star Trek, and used the seasons long arc of the Spore Drive technology.
- The coda was fine, I love the Admiral’s uniform, but the son’s one looks like an ill fitting wetsuit. Also, the scene on the beach, what the hell, they clearly didn’t make their day and just had to use the footage they got, leaving grainy, blown out shots for Book.
- The zero-g fight was…bad. It had all the impact of a Marvel fight scene.
- The attempts to explain Calypso were admirable but pretty janky.
- Seeing Action Saru become “Diplomaniac Saru” was great.
