It's a pity nobody requested the season finale. Ah well. So is every new Star Trek review currently by request? It feels strange enough that the preceding episode wasn't covered first. Since the last three episodes of the Xindi arc really do feel like one continuous storyline. Finding out there's n...

I really did like this episode as a character piece for Torres does build upon both her own backstory and her unfolding relationship with Tom. There are two minor issues though. One is that while the emotional climax is masterfully acted, the score kinds of lays it down a little too thick. I would b...

All I could think of when Chuck noted that there are no counsellors on Voyager is: Starfleet's track record up until this point is Troi and Ezri. Torres would probably end up having her daughter aborted after seeking help from them. At least Troi would actually show Torres the kind of understanding...

One thing I liked about this episode was that it didn't minimize what Torres went through as a kid, or make it seem like what she went through didn't matter. For someone who does not experience bigotry, it can be very easy to dismiss small expressions of it as "unimportant" or "something to ignore....

T'Pol has been all about holding on to Vulcan customs. It's been drilled into her all her life. In earlier episode she was downturn disdainful of human customs that seem to run counter to the traditions she swore to live by and distrustful of human judgment. Yet her time on earth had already lead to...

So one of the only complaints I've seen about this episode is the revel of T'Pol's addiction. Which I find myself strongly inclined to defend. I admit the way it's revealed is a tad silly and I can understand Chuck's about how the sickbay seen might lead some to get angry with her. Not that would do...

ENT really dropped the ball with Star Trek's first main female Vulcan. Spock/Tuvok were calm, measured, loyal, intelligent, rational, logical truthful to a fault and considered sex to be shameful or at least something you did not talk about. T'Pol is racist, judgemental, petty, over-emotional, a dr...

There clearly was a lot more to consider in this episode than I recognized. My only major thought upon watching was there probably wasn't going to be a Stupid Neelix Moment. Because I could barely remember him having any dialogue and Tom's flight instructor was WAY more annoying in this. Well that a...

Good Prime Directive counterpoint to ''Homeward''. Its interesting to note though that humans ourselves have been interfered with by aliens at least half a dozen times to my knowledge. There are the Greek gods, the white guys who gave the Native Americans technology, the Vulcans, Quinn the Q, the a...

I don't know if it's appropriate to post this her because Chuck has yet to review this one, but I recently rewatched Journey's End and a thought occurred to me. Given Wesley's stated disillusionment with Starflet and his defiant stance in support of the settlers, is at all possible that under differ...
