It'...I thought this one was weak and formulaic. It's a shame that it didn't do much to spotlight Travis. <br /><br />The most interesting thing about this episode was the glimpse we got of the multi-generational "boomer" subculture. Space travel during the <i>Enterprise</i> time period is something like sea travel hundreds of years ago on Earth, with danger and high stakes and pirates and all-powerful maverick-like captains with the power of life and death. It is strongly implied that this type of lifestyle is on the way out, and perhaps that isn't a good thing -- at least the boomers don't think it's a good thing. But things change and a new day is coming. A bunch of human mavericks waging war with the Nausicaans is not something that would fly with the not-yet-existent Federation.<br /><br />This episode was directed by Levar Burton. Levar deserved better.<br /><br />Another terrific review, CoramDeo.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
