“Assignment: Earth” – TOS 2X26

by trekkiefeminist

“Assignment: Earth” is both the TOS Season 2 finale and a pilot for a spinoff series starring secret agent Gary Seven (Robert Lansing), his “erratic” secretary (Teri Garr), and Isis, the ninja cat. I gotta say, though the spinoff didn’t take off, I would’ve watched the heck out of it. The Enterprise is pretty unnecessary …

Nichelle Nichols’ Star Trek Audition

by trekkiefeminist

“We laughed and we joked, and so far we hadn’t even gotten to the reason why I was there…Finally they said, ‘This has really been wonderful,’ and they asked me to read for them. I said, ‘I’d love to.’ They handed me a script and apologized, saying the part I’d be playing would be the …

“We’ll Always Have Paris” – TNG 1X24

In “We’ll Always Have Paris,” we meet Picard’s great past love, Jenice Manheim, after the Enterprise responds to a distress call from her time-experimenting scientist husband. When Picard realizes he’s going to be reunited with Jenice, Troi confronts him about the repressed feelings she senses from him.  Troi: I don’t want to interfere with your personal …

“Regeneration” – ENT 2X23

by trekkiefeminist

You cannot dislike an episode that starts out with Borg-sicles.  “Regeneration” comes in a series of episodes that feels like it’s trying to recapture fans of the other Trek series by reinventing old storylines (e.g. “Judgment”), embracing allegory episodes (e.g. “Cogenitor”) and bringing in classic Trek villains…like the Borg.  Even though the Federation won’t meet the …

What do you think about “Cogenitor”?

by trekkiefeminist

I’m working on my review of this episode but I’m a bit stuck on evaluating how this show played in 2003 and whether the depiction of a third gender holds up today, in 2015.  I have no doubt that it was extremely forward-thinking for ENT and for 2003 but rewatching it in 2015 when we …

“The Breach” – ENT 2X21

by trekkiefeminist

Another solid episode with solid Trek principles, about two individuals from two alien species overcoming racial hatred associated with war between their two people. And “The Breach” is solidly executed and valuable to watch, even if the concept has been been done before (“Jetrel” and “Duet” come to mind). Unfortunately, “The Breach” doesn’t make a lot of …

“Judgment” – ENT 2X19

by trekkiefeminist

In “Judgment,” Enterprise draws inspiration from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country by putting Archer on trial in a Klingon court and sending him to Rura Penthe. What makes this feel like a great episode rather than a ripoff are two things: 1) The casting of two excellent guest-stars: J.G. Hertzler and John Vickery, and 2) The integration …
