Archer,
T'Pol, Trip and Travis find a crew apparently alive on a ship that crash-landed
years ago - Wikipedia.
The good:
The
opening scene was great. The space trader D’Marr looked really awesome. I’m
glad they didn’t explain where he came from or how the Enterprise crew met him; it added texture
and avoided unnecessary exposition. Sometimes less is more.
It was
very creepy when Trip and T’Pol were exploring the engineering deck of the ship
before they caught Liana.
I
remember thinking that it didn’t seem believable that a crew that large could
have survived for years on one small hydroponics farm and re-routed power from
the ship’s core. I’m glad that wasn’t an oversight but rather a clue to the
real situation.
Once it
was evident that some of the crew members were holograms, it was fun to try and
figure out who was real. I totally thought the mother was the only real one.
Computer
core reminded me of computer on the Nostromo
in Alien.
The bad:
It was
immediately obvious that a bunch of the crew were holograms as soon as Ezral freaked
out when T’Pol fiddled around with the main computer.
Ezral
turned his entire ship into a holodeck…including creating an incredibly
sophisticated AI to preserve the memories and personalities of his crew. All by
himself. On a disabled ship with limited resources. Sure, why not?
Let’s
just address the elephant in the room, OK? It’s a liiiiiiittle creepy that a
dude is trapped alone with his daughter for two decades and as soon as help
comes along, he’s like, “Nope…Everything’s fine. I like my life here. Go away.”
Cue the banjo music.
